Hey There,

I'm working on a site that is rich with content. I find myself using multiple-level menus to organize the content of the website. Many times I need to create a level of the menu hierarchy that is simply for organization and to keep the length of the menu section a reasonable size (number of items vertically for a side-bar menu). Here is a simple example for a website about fruit:

Content Navigation Menu

  • The Apple Series
    • Fuji
    • McIntosh
    • Pippin
  • The Grape Series
    • Red Flame
    • Thompson
    • Concord

This site contains six pages for the three apple and three grape types -- these six pages have Path addresses. The site does not have a page for The Apple Series or The Grape Series -- there are no Path addresses for these two. If anyone clicks on The Apple Series, I would like the series to open and stay on the current page.

Please know that the navigation on the website I'm working on is a much, much more complex 3,000 page site. We need to be able to move the site into Drupal without creating content pages for our equivalent of The Apple Series. Is this possible with the core Menu system?

Thanks! Greg

I'm looking for a similar solution.

DHTMLmenu is almost perfect for this - Apples and Grappes series will be collapsed menus, expended when they are clicked on to show the submenus.

Personally, I'd probably substitute a view in place of "The Apple Series" for the use case above.
