Hi folks,

I'm going a little nuts on this one. I've tried the options in the help documentation, but I can' t get the effect I'm looking for.  I've searched around but I can't find the solution that I'm sure exists.

Say I have a hierarchy like this...

1 People
    1.1. Bill
    1.2  Bob
    1.3  Bert
2 Places
    2.1  New York
    2.2  Boston
    2.3  Madrid
3 Things
    3.1  Crayons
    3.2  Pots
          3.2.1 Stainless Steel
          3.2.2 Copper
    3.3  Cameras

How can I use Ellnav (or bulletmenu) to do the following:

1. If I'm on page 'Crayons'...show just the relative siblings. i.e., the following:

- Crayons
- Pots
- Cameras

2. If I'm on page 'Things'...just show the immediate children. i.e., the following:

- Crayons
- Pots
- Cameras

3. Regardless of my current location...show a menu that contains the immediate children of 'Things'. i.e., the following:

- Crayons
- Pots
- Cameras

thanks for your help,

In case anyone wants to know...this is quite easy to do with Ellnav **IF** your structure only uses two levels. It seems to break down past level two for some reason.

Yep. ElleNav ain't the solution either.

Now don't quote me on this but I believe wishy was working on allowing multiple {bulletmenu} tags in a single page?

The ability to display a full side menu and then siblings or children in a separate menu within the page {content} would truly be a winderful thing. Truly.

It's possible that piratos' pi_menu can handle this but it's too geek for me to work out.

It would be great to be able to display two different bulletmenus on the same pages! Something like {bulletmenu start='1' end='4'} or something like that perhaps, to select that those four top levels in the menu should be displayed. Then in another part of the page: {bulletmenu start='5' end='8'} for example. Should be rather easy to implement I suppose.

Just some random thoughts, I've went into Christmas mode now and won't be around here that much during the coming week.

I'm so in Christmas mode right now that that whole conversation just caused a glazed look on my face.  It seems like a good idea, but I shouldn't probably think about it until sometime next week.

Is it sometime next week yet? 

Merry Happy Xmas Season New Year Greetings. Hope you all had a nice break.
