Category nav list with custom labels & section sensitivity

I have a secondary navigation list that is currently populated by category_list. However i’m looking for a little bit more functionality:

• Categories must be sensitive to the current section – only displaying categories that have articles in them within the current section
• Be able to change to displayed name of the categories depending upon section.
• Add a classname to the current category for CSS styling purposes (same functionality as the standard category_list

Can I do this without a plugin? If not what plugin would be suitable?

Thanks

Be able to change to displayed name of the categories depending upon section.

Er, why? It sounds like you actually want separated categories, not sharing them. ?

Re: Category nav list with custom labels & section sensitivity

In a sense yes I can have seperate categories. If I do that I can’t seem to get a list of the categories that are only applicable to the current section using category_list.

I have six sections on the site i’m developing and they all use the same page. I want the list of categories (that is my subnavigation) to reflect just the categories used in that section. Can this be done with category_list or with category?
