Easiest way to add submenu navigation?

[weightman]

I've done a lot of searching and I don't see a way to add submenus without a lot of custom coding that looks over my head or very difficult. I'm not real picky about how its done. Am I missing something? This seems like a basic feature. For instance, in my menubox, I want an "Articles" option that would then take you to a list of articles to pick from. I don't want one long list of articles following each other causing the user to scroll endlessly down.

This has to be built in somewhere I am missing, right?

Thanks

If you categorise your articles you can have a 'Category' as a menu item, this will load a menu/tab strip of all your article categories, open at the category the menu points to.

I'm not having any success in accomplishing this. When I add a category or article to the menu manager, it then appears on any menus I create. I can't seem to change one menu without having the exact same change in the other menu. I did manage to get menus to only appear on the page I want, but if I can't have different content in it....

What am I missing?

Thanks

What I put in the post above is all that is built into TP 0.98. If you want exactly what you have said you will have to code an article to act as your sub-menu.

Thanks. I figured out what you were talking about finally. But, is is possible that when you select a category from the main menu, the articles themselves won't come up in the middle of the page but instead the forum would stay in the middle? I really wouldn't like my articles in the category to come up until they pick it from the submenu.

Thanks again
