DHTML the built-in book nagivation block [#216580]

Hi,

I like the DHTML menu module a lot.

I'm trying to figure this out: built into Drupal 6 is a block called "Book navigation". I want to figure out how to make that menu DHTML.

I know I can create a new menu and make it a block and DHTML it (I did this), but it appears to me with my basic working knowledge of Drupal, that I have to add every sub-page item to this new menu.

On the other hand, the built in Book navigation block menu already has the sub-pages.

The difference is in time, and I'm trying to save some.

Thanks a bunch for this module and any tips.

Version:

6.x-1.0

» 5.x-1.1

I'll second this notion. The ability to apply the DHTML Menu functionality to the Book Navigation (or any custom block) would be extremely useful.
Right now I am forced to give my content editors access to administer menus so that we can have books that are navigable with DHTML Menus.
This may be more appropriate as a feature request though...

+1 to this as well-- not sure yet if it's a bug or a feature. The module description just says "menus" it doesn't indicated that it's limited to only certain drupal menus so it could be a bug that it's not working on book nav menus. OR, it could be working as expected if menus simply refers to menu in the official MENU hierarchy-- which I don't think the book nav block is. I'll take a look at this when I get a chance and submit a patch if I can figure it out.
