It would be nice to show menu type based on role. So if I make a new menu beyond navigation, I can assign it to a certain role and it will SimpleMenu will show it to that user.

I'll look into this for the Drupal 6 version.

I'd like this too! I'll give it a +1, and vote for it to be backported to the Drupal 5 version too.

I personally don't need a D5 version now. Upgraded.

Hello,

I wrote a patch that allows simplemenu to display more than one menu. As only the menus for which the current user has permissions can get displayed, this allows you to have a menu per role (and if the user has several roles, to get the menus for all those roles).

The patch against 6.x-1.2 can be found here : http://drupal.org/node/504432

Hope people find this useful :)
Anselm
