I installed the Multiblock module for Drupal 6. I then created another instance of the navigation block and set up which pages its visible on. This creates a cloned instance of the navigation block which I can make appear or disappear on a page. What I'd like to do though is have a few nodes/pages where the navigation and primary link blocks show different links.

There doesn't appear to be a straightforward way to do this. I read the readme file for the multiblock module and it starts talking about "$op of hook_block, 'mb_anbled' and references some code.... all of which are obscure references (at least to me...a relative newb with Drupal)

Is there any simple instructions for creating multiple versions of the navigation block (but with different links). Ditto for primary links.

Thanks for any help.

ilounge,

Since the menu blocks created by the core menu module are multiblock-incompatible (this compatibility has to be specifically written in), multiblock can not save individual menu-settings per block (it only can save block specific settings like visibility, title, weight and all that). Luckily for you, navigation module will create separate blocks for all menus that you create. Just create another menu from the admin/build/menu page, add items to that new menu, and then enable the new block that will show up from the admin/build/block page. At that point, if you want to change the title, visibility, and weight per individual menu-block, you would want to use multiblock module.

Hope that made sense, I'm off to sleep.
