Hi guys.

I am looking for some type of navigation module that can dynamically output a list of page links.

Please see my screenshot below or see the full version at http://designedbyevan.com/side_nav_ex...

I'm looking for something that would replicate the functionality of the navigation list in the left-hand column in that screenshot. Note how the currrent page is automatically highlighted and the parent page has a different style applied.

Also note that ONLY the parent page and it's children are shown in this navigation menu.

Ideally I would want something that I can call directly from my skin template files (so I don't have to add it as a module within the DNN admin panel).

If this is something that's easy to code into the template files using some kind of tokens instead of a module please let me know. If not, I'm open to any type of module that I can customize with my own CSS.

I have worked with the Sixxac Menu module in the past to achieve these same results. I found it still available for download at http://www.sgchs.us/Files/tabid/101/D... but it seems like it has fallen out of favor and no one supports it anymore.

I have tried using the DDR menu from http://www.dnngarden.com/ but I can't seem to get it to display the right level of pages. It seems to display ALL of the pages at an existing level, rather than just the child pages of a requested parent page... if that makes sense.

Thanks!

Just want to post an update to my own problem.

I was able to work out a solution using 2 separate instances of the menu module from http://www.dnngarden.com/ and jQuery to hide some of the extra unwanted menu items that it spits out by default.

The problem is in the limitations of the node selecting attributes of the dnngarden module. I can't get that top list item in the screenshot ("How to Give")  to appear without also outputting all of the other navigational items on that level (My Fund, Grants & Scholarships, Civic Leadership, etc...). So to fix that I'm using a second instance of the dnngarden nav module and jQuery to hide all of the list items that do not have the class "current" applied.

Definitely not the most elegant solutions, but it works for now.

If anyone has a better solution I'm all ears.
