Hi, I want to use the reports module to build a list of subtabs of the current one. Why do I need that if there are so many menu modules out there and even SOLPARMENU that could give me that functionality? Basically because I want to add the links to the pages with some description beside it and the best way to do that is to pull a description from the Description field of each page. If someone knows any menu module/provider that has that feature built-in, please, tell me, I will appreciate the help.

I am OK to build the query, that could be something like SELECT TabID, TabName, Description, TabPath FROM tabs WHERE ParentID = 57 (or the page number I wish to set as parent. An evolution from this would be to use a @tabid (I don't know if this actually exists) to pull the children of the current tab without writing it. Is there such a token available? I don't need the query to be recursive (get the sub-sub pages, so that makes things simpler).

Then in my XSL tempalte I would put side by side some of the informatin I have pulled from the DB. What do you think is the best way to write this URL? I need to pull the URL of the website because my website isn't root (it is installed in a subfolder). So I need that information and I don't want it to be static. I would rather have a code that writes the main URL of the website so that I can put the rest of the elements after it. Does the report module have a token that pull such information? Thanks!
