Display children of the actual menu node (Not all the menu tree)
Last modified: November 16, 2006 - 00:51
In our web (http://www.fundacionalzheimur.org/formacion) we use the structure of the menu primary links, but we haven't found an automatic way of present, as in a book, the child nodes when displaying a menú node.
Our solution is including this php snippet in the node.tpl template, just before the content, in a div floating right:
.... <div class="itemtext">
<!-- Expanded Menu for navigation -->
<?php
$mid = menu_get_active_nontask_item();
$active = menu_get_item($mid);
// this is a top-level link in your primary links
if($active['pid'] == variable_get('menu_primary_menu', 0)){
$output.= theme('menu_tree',$mid);
print('<div id="menubox"><h2>navigate</h2>');
print $output;
print('</div>');
}
?>
<!-- end of menu -->
<?php print $content?>
</div> .....The CSS would be:
#menubox {
display: block;
float:right;
width: 35%;
margin-left: 18px;
margin-bottom: 18px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
background: #fff url(images/Fondo_Logo_menu.jpg) no-repeat bottom right;
}
#menubox h2 {
background: #fff url(images/block-quote_left.gif) no-repeat top left;
color: #6A0D22;
padding: 7px 7px 7px 37px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
line-height: 0.6em;
}

While surfing, I came across this (apparently) old page. If you have a Drupal 5.x site, you may be interested in submenutree.
