Is it possible to have more than one dynamic persistent menu block, with different root menus?

The purpose would be to use this navigation tool in a couple of different sections of a site, but not everywhere. Each of the sections would have its own menu. Example: One menu block for a job board that has several sections, and another for a news feature that has several sections.

Thanks!

This would also be useful for me in constructing different menus which may be made available to users with different roles. So a menu for editors that differs from one for readers, for example, or a menu for parents that differs from one for teachers.

Anyone have a mechanism for creating a duplicate dynamic persistent menu block with different root menus?

Hi,

I am also wanting to have two instances of this, with different menu roots, has there been any progress or ideas. I notice that there is nothing new here for several months now, is this still active.

Hey,

I too need this functionality - I cannot get my custom menu items to switch language so am intending on creating an instance of 'dynamic persistent menu' for each language.

Until there is a multiple menu function built into this module is there a way of duplicating and renaming the module eg. 'dynamic persistent menu2' to add a second menu?

I have made an attempt at this see attached - no content coming through as yet though.

Hi - I tried using MultiBlock - http://drupal.org/node/353565

Unfortunately someone more experienced than I (2nd day drupaler!) needs to edit the block to make it compatible.

I reckon this is what you are all looking for.

I am working on a version that won't need MultiBlock. It will be available soon.

Hi,

I found the modul Dynamic Persistent Menu because it has the features I need for my page.
Unfortunately I can't let it work like it should. I followed the instructions on http://gotdrupal.com/videos/drupal-menu-navigation-enhanced ,
the instruction on http://mydrupalblog.lhmdesign.com/creating-custom-regions-drupal-6-themes , and I searched in the german drupal comunity to get fixed my problem but withous success.
What is the problem? Well, the submenu did not appear under the main menu. I tried many different settings, I tried also with a own created menu-with submenus but the endresult is what you can see on www.freshfisch.com . It is bizarre. Neither a technical support guy and an computer scienties could help me. It seems that the theme (from templatemonster) did not let work properly the Dynamic Persistent Menu Modul.

Is somebody there who knows how to fix this problem?

Thank you for your help

Ivan

I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a problem with CSS settings. After adjusting the position, I realized the sub menu was a layer that was hidden behind another layer of some non-menu object.

Try moving the parent up using absolute positioning and look to see if the child menu appears.

I got this to work, made a second module, changed all instances of dynamic persistent menu to dynamic persistent menu2 and it works perfectly. A temporary solution until the module allows for multiple blocks.
