Display Links

[jsd219]

I am a newbie for sure;

problem,

I have a page that has dynamically generated sections at the top, when
I click on one of the sections I would like the list of categories
associated with the section to display in my left navigation; If I
click a different section the current navigation list would be
replaced by the categories associated with the new section I clicked
on and so on.

I am sure this is easy for most of you but it is killing me. :-)

God bless

You can generate the menu from an array. For example:

$sections = array(
'about' =array(
'team' ='Our Team',
'directions' ='Directions',
'history' ='History'
),
'services' =array(
'design' ='Design',
'construction' ='Building & Construction',
'repair' ='Repair'
)
)

To print your menu:

$currentSection = 'about';
$contents = $sections[$currentSection];
foreach ($contents as $dest =$title) {
$links .= "<li><a href=\"$item\">$title</a></li>"
}

I don't quite follow, :-) if you go to: http://www(dot)discbid(dot)net
you can see what i am talking about. notice the section at the top
next to catalog. It currently has 7 entries, camryn, deda,
grandpa...but it can change. it is dynamically generated so the client
can add to or take away any of these sections. when you click on one
of the sections, the navigation bar at the left should populate with
all the categories created under that section, this too is dynamically
generated and can change.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated

God bless
jason

This sounds like a perfect application for AJAX.
I've emailed you the zipped files that I hope you will find useful.

Jason,

As Peter indicated, you need to generate the menu items dynamically.
When the user clicks on the top section, your code needs to handle the
change.

Basically in your case the link should be directed back at the same
page. Look at which parameter was passed (if any - the first time there
won't be a parameter) and build the appropriate menu. Then output the
entire page again.
