Hierarchical navigations on SharePoint publishing sites

Question

I've got a site structure which looks like this:

• Home
  • Level 2
    • Level 3
      • Level 4

And I'm having problems with the left navigation showing correctly on a MOSS publishing site. When I'm on a page under Level 2 The navigation should look like this:

• Level 2
  • Level 3

And when I get to a page under Level 3 it should look like this:

• Level 2
  • Level 3
    • Level 4

But I can't seem to find a way in which the menu and data provider will do this.

How do you setup the navigation to always be starting at a fixed level but go to a depth one greater than the current depth?

Answer 1

you can roll your own. Get a copy of the moss menu code, override the render method in your own control and create a solution package to release your new menu as a feature.
