Main Navigation: Sections with sub-cats displayed when in that section

Hi,

Just curious if anyone knows of a menu plugin that will show all sections, and when you go to a section that has categories the categories display in the main nav as children of the section.

Example:

(we are on page “Links”)

Home
About
Links
L…….Cat1
L…….Cat2
L…….Cat3
News
Other

This is almost exactly like what I am looking for, but does not do sections:
azpmenugen

Any thoughts? Maybe I will start hacking-away at the above plugin to get the results I am looking for… Bout time I learned more about sql!

TIA,
Cheers,
Micky

Re: Main Navigation: Sections with sub-cats displayed when in that section

Not sure if anyone cares, but this is my current way of doing what I want just with TXP tags:

<code> <dl> <dt>Navigation</dt> <dd><a href=”<txp:site_url />” accesskey=“1” title=”…”>Home</a></dd> <dd><a href=”<txp:site_url />about” accesskey=“2” title=”…”>About</a></dd> <dd><a href=”<txp:site_url />links” accesskey=“3” title=”…”>Links</a> <txp:if_section name=“links”> <ul> <li><a href=”<txp:site_url />links/?c=links1” accesskey=“a” title=”…”>Links1</a></li> <li><a href=”<txp:site_url />links/?c=links2” accesskey=“b” title=”…”>Links2</a></li> <li><a href=”<txp:site_url />links/?c=links3” accesskey=“c” title=”…”>Links3</a></li> </ul> </txp:if_section> </dd> <dd><a href=”<txp:site_url />forum” accesskey=“4” title=”…”>Forum</a></dd> </dl>
</code>

Pretty simple… I have yet to add the “current” link class/id…

It would be nice to have a plugin that would do the same as above.. but maybe manually doing it is better for site speed.

Open to suggestions.
Cheers,
