CMS Made Simple Forums

I have a request to build a new site for a client in CMSMS, but i have my doubts if i can make the menu system the client propose:

http://clips.dk/colas/kata/bitum/1-1-01.html (It a functional "Dummy" site from the client.)

The site has the "standard" top menu with the main categories.

A left menu bar for the first leves subpages.

Now it get tricky; If there is level 2 subpages a new left menu bar appear to the right of the first level menu bar.

And some pages on this level can/should divide into smaller subpages and therefore a new nav bar appear in the bottom of the page displaying the page numbers the page/article is divided into!

As i see it, i have to use some kind of smarty logic to load different menues and template/html parts depending what level the loaded page is on?

Is it possible and do anyone have a suggestion how i should go about it (or should i just say "No way" to the client)?

TIA

As far as I see, is the basis not hard,

as you can use the default top-menu "Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column", and replace the left sub-navigation with the menu call from the CSSmenu-left layout....

Thanks for the reply.

The problem, as i see it, is that the client don't want the second level in the left menu to expand on a hover (and disappear when not) but want the second level menu to load on click on the first level and to remain out all the time you are on the second level pages (and deeper).

So the second level is a new set div tags, pushing the content field to the right making it smaller.

Maybe i'm wrong here, but i guessing i need some kind IF/ELSE smarty function to tell what level i'm on and then load the new div tags?

The low tech solution is to tell the users to use a different template, when creating a new page, depending on what level they want the page to appear. I just don't see an everyday user remembering using the correct template depending on levels 

I will check later when checking in at the office.... IIRC is there a parameter in MenuManager, that tells how many levels should be expanded already.....

If so, I will post a link to a quick test-set....

Thank you for your time and patience.
