How do I theme a menu of options for a specific context? I would like to create a menu that shows items relative to a group. I don't want to mix these in with tasks ( or actions ), and would like to use standard menu.inc functionality. However, it feels like it is not possible to use the standard menu functionality for items that contain placeholders. I can easily create my own item list and render that as a menu, but it feels like duplication of work. I have to do access checks and hierarchy stuff that feels unnecessary. It looks like I have to duplicate the functionality of "menu_local_tasks" but just extract normal items. I am not really trying to have this menu managed by the menu module, I am planning to load and theme it myself. I am working with D7, but I don't think it would be too different to D6 (apart from the local_actions) This has been bugging me for a while, and I have finally given in and decided to ask. I can't help feeling I am missing something, and would love to have end my ignorance. I am going to send this now. Peter
