Hi...

Question about links.  My main menu (horizontal) displays links for all the pages I create.  But I would like to be selective and choose on which pages links are displayed.  So, on the home page I would like to have no visible links at all (the user can choose a destination page thru the drop down in the content pane).  Then once they are on the page of their choise I'd like to have that page name and other related links (not necesseraly child pages) be displayed.  Probably better understood with an actual example.  www.linguaplay.co.uk.  Home page.  All the links at the top (home, Register and login, forum etc.) I'd like to be hidden. Then once on a page (it currently brings you to Russian only) I'd like to have Russian, Register and log in etc.  But once I add pages, say French, I would like it to display French, Register and log in etc. but no Russian.  I hope all of this makes sense.  I can't enable "hidden" under the page settings, because then it's hidden everywhere not just on the pages I need.  Thanks!

P.S. Nina thanks for your previous reply, I think you can tell I've moved on since then.   I'll post this question on your forum as well :)

I think you will have to make multiple skins.
One without the menu for your home page.
The second with 2 menu's
    1 Only showing the links on level 0
    2 Showing either the links from level 2, or showing only the children of the russian/french/etc. page
I would do this using either housemenu or css navmenu, but you do need some CSS knowledge....

Your menu would be like this:

home
login
etc
    russian
       classes
       teachers
       books
    french
       classes
       teachers
       books

I can see you've moved on - sometimes we post our thoughts in action and find solutions or get different ideas.. it's ok :-)

The Skincovered goodie bag we're about to officially launch has got different menus, but regardless, you'll still need something that handles ML behaviour since these are different request.  ML style modules understand and read and render different information based on the users language settings which is all part of the DotNetNuke Localisation behaviour.

So perhaps you need to look at the ML options and see what can be done there for you.
