Hi,

I have the following tree structure using nested sets with lft & rgt values.

node
    node
        node
    node
        node (selected)
        node
node
node
    node

I'd like to build a navigation so that the tree is expanded, only to the path of the selected node, and non relevant nodes are collapsed/hidden.

Using the above method, the tree would be outputted as follows:

node
    node
    node
        node (selected)
        node
node
node

is this possible using php/mysql? If any sql gurus can help build a query I'd be most appreciative.?

I don't mind if I need an extra query per level, its probably only going to be 4 or 5 levels deep at most...

Overview of the nodes table:

--
-- Table structure for table `exp_node_tree_1`
--

CREATE TABLE `exp_node_tree_1` (
  `node_id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `lft` mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
  `rgt` mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
  `moved` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  `label` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `entry_id` int(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `template_path` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `custom_url` varchar(250) DEFAULT NULL,
  `extra` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`node_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=18 ;

Thank you!
