########## EXPLANATION: ##########
Using the Drupal taxonomy module, I have created 3 vocabularies: Fruits, Electronics and Furnitures.
I want these 3 vocabularies to be clickable menu items - placed in a horisontal top-menu.
Because of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), I want the 3 menu items to link to 3 different pages, with unique names like www.thedomain.com/fruits, www.thedomain.com/electronics and www.thedomain.com/furnitures.
To each of the 3 vocabularies I have created 4 terms. For example, to the vocabulary "Fruits", I have created Apples, Oranges, Bananas and Peaches.
In my left side-bar I want a leftmenu, where the menu items is the vocabulary for the specific page and all of the terms to that specifik vocabulary.
For example:
The user click on "Fruit" in the topmenu. He is then sent to www.thedomain.com/fruits. In the left side-bar the menu should look like this:
-Fruits
---Apples
---Oranges
---Bananas
---Peaches
As long as the user is looking at products in this category the leftmenu has to be visible. If the user selects "Electronics" in the topmenu, the left side-bar should change and look like this:
-Electronics
---Computers
---Televisions
---MP3-players
---Car-navigation
As it is right now, only ONE vocabulary (Fruit) is shown. And that is the vocabulary that I have chosen at http://localhost/site/admin/store/settings/catalog/edit. I can't choose more than one. And that one vocabulary (Fruit) is visible at all of my pages (both on www.thedomain.com/fruits, www.thedomain.com/electronics and www.thedomain.com/furnitures). I know that I can tell a block to be visible at only SOME pages, for example at www.thedomain.com/fruits, but if the user then click on a product (for example "apples") the leftmenu vil disapear.
########## QUESTION: ##########
How do I make a menu like this?
########## NOTE: ##########
Of course - if I change any of the vocabularies or any of the term, the menus (both the topmenu and leftmenu) must be updated automatically.
I'm using the newest version of Ubertcart and Drupal 5.7.
I hope somebody can help.
