hello Earnie,
thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that I need them to show up automatically when they are created. This can be done with a.o. with some specialized menu-block modules in drupal 5, but none of these have been ported to d6 yet.
I've come to the conclusion that its simply to early to start a drupal 6 website now when you have requirements beyond what core can give you.
I wonder when drupal 6 will be ready for professional deployment - as I see it, it's far from ready - maybe in half a year or so. I guess I'll have to keep using drupal 5.7 and learn d6 so that I can be ready for it when the time comes.
Not trying to put down d6 in any way - there's a lot to love, but it really is dependant on a lot of modules that are simply not in a useable state yet.
cheers Morten

Hi, I'm trying to achieve something that seems simple, but is really killing me :(
This is Drupal 6.1
I have some primary links. When I click one of these links I would like a submenu to appear in a block elsewhere on the page - that's really all (for now).
I just can't get it working - I've looked through every module and a lot of functions in the d6 api, but no luck so far.
and deadline is closing in - yikes!
You're in luck, the solution is simple. Create new menu blocks, put in the links you want, then edit (AKA configure) the blocks checking the "show on only the listed pages" radio and fill in the pages to show it on. Be sure to enable the block in the region you want it to display with the correct sorting weight.
