Are you wanting the child pages of the active top menu item to be displayed on the left side?...

This is what I have so far, but it's out putting the entire navigation. I just want it to out put the child objects for each section without the parent being displayed.
Code: Select all
{if $count > 0}
<ul style="margin-left: 15px; padding-left: 0;">
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="<ul> times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth < $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
</li>
{elseif $node->index > 0}</li>
{/if}
<li><p><a href="{$node->url}" {if $node->target}onclick="target='newwindow'" {/if}>{$node->menutext}</a></p>
{/foreach}
{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->depth-1}</li>
</ul>
{/if}

First of all you really should be using style= in your code, use CSS, second you can get the child pages quite easily by using a default combo of menu calls like it explains here...

That's why I always recommend reading all the default content as it has a lot of useful info...
