Description
Is there a way to add multiple "Local Menu" blocks, each with their own configuration? All I see is one block.
Thanks

No you can't at this moment. Most of the times, you also won't need to, because the menu automaticly shows the context of the current page (and that's unique). Only if you'd want to split the displayed menu up (e.g. showing level #1 at one place and #2 and up at another) it would be usefull.
IMHO Drupal should allow working with blocks as it is with node(type)s. Then, I could just declare Local Menu as a new block type and you as a user can add as many as you want.
Sollutions like offering a fixed number of 3 Local Menu's or having a settings page where you set the number of menu's I think is a ugly way of working.

That would be a better state.

This is what I had in mind.
Local Menu works perfectly as a vertical side bar menu, but I would also like another top horizontal drop menu that only shows menu entries two levels deep.
As you can see, I would need two "Local Menu" blocks each with their own settings.
Any thoughts? Maybe there is a better way to achieve a solution.
Thanks
