I'm building a site that is basically two seperate sites. The home default page is a landing page, with two links on it, each linking to a section that should be apart from the other. I am wondering if it is possible to have one skin with SOLPARTMENU and a second skin (identical aside from the menu) with SOLPARTMENU:2 or something like that. I'm hoping this will allow me to use two different menus on the same portal.

I confused myself as I wrote that, but I hope I didn't confuse you to much.

Thanks in advanced for the help,

If you were confused typing that... then I may have a bead on it :)

First depends on if the site really ARE two different sites.  If not - and they are simply within the same site - you can do it.  With the NavControl you can set the ParentID (I believe) which is the basis for the menu --- so if you had an About Us page (id 123) with a bunch of sub-pages --- you can set the ParentID to 123 and the menu will display only the sub-pages of that page.

So I think you could have your site layout like this:

• Home Page
  • Site 1 dummy page
    • home page 1
    • page 1-1
    • page 1-2
  • Site 2 dummy page
    • home page 2
    • page 2 -1
    • page 2 -2

Then have 3 skins - one for the Home page -- one for Site 1 and one for Site 2

Home page skin -- NavControl set ParentID to the home page ID and do not disply children

Site 1 Skin - Set NavControl ParentID to the Site 1 Dummy Page ID -- show children

Site 2 Skin - Set NavControl ParentID to the Site 2 Dummy Page ID -- show children

Only thing to note - Site 1 Dummy Page - should link to your site 1 home page --- and Site 2 dummy page should link to your Site 2 home page (page settings)

If they are completely 2 different sites -- then these are not the droids you are looking for :)~
