Content/Menu Help

I'm relatively new to XOOPS so if this has already been covered, please direct me to the proper area. If not, I'm hoping someone can help me.

I'm currently working on a site for a friend. This particular site has many many pages of content and we'd like to be able to make the site easy to navigate. Basically, we're trying to make several different sections which we would like to appear in the main menu. Upon clicking those sections, we'd like the menu to expand with sub-sections. And, when clicking on a sub section, the menu should expand once again to reveal more choices which I will demonstrate below. Each main section that would need to expand, and expand again will be coloured red.

(Example 1 - Main Menu appearance)

Take a look at this FAQ on menu custiomisation There may be something in the multi-menu options that will reproduce what you ant.

Good luck with your site development.

I'm currently developing a Menu Builder module that will allow you to make MANY different styles of menu's (Menu Tree, Verticle Drop Down, Horizontal Drop Down, Sliding Horizontal etc..) with unlimted depth levels and unlimited number of menu's. Each menu generates it's own block for use. There's no limit on the number of menu's you can have on one page.

It also include a VERY easy to use Menu Builder for building the menu struture in a "site map" like enviroment.

The module should be ready for beta in a week or so... I hope. It's going to depend greatly on my work load atm.

Anyways, not a huge help right now, I know. But you will have a solution very soon and you can do EXACTLY what you mentioned above using this module.
