I've found the following snippet which shows the primary links in a block:

<?php

$output = theme('dhtml_menu_tree', variable_get('menu_primary_menu',0), array('class'=>'dhtml_menu menu-root'));

return $output;

?>

I have zero php skills, and am hoping someone can help me figure out how to show only the lower level items. For example, the entire menu looks like:

A
-- A1
-- A2
-- A3
------ A3i
------ A3ii
B
C
-- C1
-- C2
------ C2i
------ C2ii
------ C2ii
D

The regular, horizontal primary menu displays the top two levels. I'd like to have a block that shows the sub-level menu tree.

There are a couple of modules that can help you, for instance menu_trim. http://drupal.org/project/menu_trim

That module does exactly what I was looking for.

for reference, note that there are many ways to do this at the theme level, too. (it may be preferable to not add an additional module/dependency for this type of thing...)

here are a couple of pointers for relevant functions that i've come across (check out the API site for more info):

// print the secondary links based on the active trail of the current url
print theme('menu_links', menu_secondary_links()); 

// print the menu tree for a given parent menu id (in this case, 97)
print theme_menu_tree('97');

and here are a couple of related discussions i've participated in recently:

I think you misread the question, it isn't related to the other threads - but http://drupal.org/project/menu_trim was a perfect fit.
