I'm trying to customize Drupal to display book navigation in a certian way, but have not found a module yet to do what I want.

I'm working to write some php code to do what I need, but wanted to query the drupal community to see if there is already a method for this.

I am using drupal to write documentation / manuals for my job. I'm using the book module to write books over certian topics.

Currently I have the book navigation block showing up on each page, which displays all books.

I would like to have a book navigation block that only display the outline for the book that is currently being viewed.

The problem is, I have about 15 books, each with lots of child pages, and I'm using the DHTML module for a dynamic menu. But it looks extremely cluttered on the website.

I have a block I'm going to use that just displays a link to each top level book. Once they click on the book, I would a menu that displays the outline only for the currently displayed book.

I'm still working on the php code to do this, and will post once complete, but I'm new to drupal, and figured there might already be something out there that I have not found yet.

Thanks in advance for any information.

I'm a retard :).

After writing some php code to do exactly what I needed, I figured out that you can configure the book navigation module to do exactly what I want, by selecting to only be visable when viewing a book.

I only realised that could be done when I did a bit of searching and found your comment.

For those who find this - the feature is under admin/build/block
Configure the book block, and you can specify it to show only for the current block.
