automatic creation of book subsections [#869638]

Ok another idea on how to tackle subsections is to automatically show a secondary book block for items not represented in the book block main nav.

I have a book block in the left sidebar that lists a topic's main categories: I would like to conditionally show a corresponding book block in the right sidebar that contains subitems of the current parent page. Is this doable/more doable than #849588: more complex logic on the block config page: select a book level to become a book subsection menu?

I don't think it would be too difficult. I'll give it some thought.

» 6.x-1.x-dev

If I understand this correctly, this would be an identical function which the Menu Block module provides for Drupal menu blocks.

Maybe it is possible to use some code from this module, or to even merge both modules so there is one solution for all menus build by Drupal, including books?

I tried the current release of menu_blocks, and I believe that all functionality exists there.

So the real question regarding the issues #869638 (this one) and #330978: Add hook_get_menus() and implement Book module integration seems to be, if these really need to be fixed in the 'Book Block' module, or if the 'Menu Block' module already does everything that is requested here.
