Need help with a dual nav setup

Post by reidjazz »

I need to convert this site to a CMS Made Simple site. You'll notice that it has a unique set of menus in the upper left depending on what the current page is on the right set of menus.

I'm really at a loss as how to do this in CMSMS. Can anyone give me some idea here?

Many thanks,

That's just another way of showing submenu items, as a separate menu.

You just need to have one menu on the page with number_of_levels='1' and a  second menu where you have start_level='2'.

Your second menu will show items based on what is selected in the first menu.

Nullig,
Many thanks to you! I admire your knowledge, not only of CMSMS, but of web strategies in general.

Some kudos for you!

OK, so I've got the layout right...but one more thing I need. I'd like to have the parent also reflect the styling for .currentpage when one of its children (submenu) are the currentpage.

Possible?

Mark,
Many thanks...I knew it was probably pretty easy...just have never done this kind of menu before.

Best,
