Hi guys,
 
I'm trying to create a skin with two menus. Consider a site with the following page structure:
Page 1 -> Page 1.1, Page 1.2, Page 1.3
Page 2 -> Page 2.1, Page 2.2, Page 2.3
Page 3 -> Page 3.1, Page 3.2, Page 3.3
The first menu should always display the root level items (Page 1, Page 2 etc.). The second menu should always display the sub-menus of the first menu. 
So if Page 2 is selected, menu 1 should display horisontally: Page 1 - Page 2 (selected)- Page 3 - Page 4
 
And Menu 2 should display vertically:
Page 2.1
Page 2.2
Page 2.3
 
I have partly achieved this with the following 2 menus:
 
Menu 1 (shows only root level items)
<dnn:NAV runat="server" ID="navTop" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" ControlOrientation="Horizontal" 
  Level="Root" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="false" SeparatorHTML="&nbsp;&nbsp;" />
 
Menu 2 (shows only sub-items)
<dnn:NAV runat="server" ID="navLeft" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" 
  ControlOrientation="Vertical" Level="Child" />
However! When I select a sub-page (for exampe Page 2.2), I want menu 2 to keep showing the sub-items (Page 2.1, Page 2.2 (selected) and Page 2.3). Instead, since it has Level="Child" it tries to show sub-items for Page 2.2, which do not exist, since I only have 2 layers in my menu navigation - and thereby disappearing. 
 
Can anybody help with a solution to this?
 
Regards
Emil

Hi Emil,

You can do this with my DNN menu. It can emulate a standard DNN menu or SolPart menu, and if you use the NodeSelector option you can choose pretty much any set of pages you want, relative to the root, the current page or a specific page anywhere in the tree.

The documentation's still a bit sketchy right now, but if you have any trouble then leave a message in the forums and I'll sort you out.

Check out Snapsis CSSMenu .  It can do what you want. (and then some) It is worth the money. (www.snapsis.com)

Anyone know if the new (DNN 6.x) menu is up to this and where to find documentation for doing so?
