Hi Guys,

Its a start, but getting their slowly:

Im doodling with the look, so far from complete and will change.

So here is my question - I find that the help lacks in discussing menu systems, particularly out side the normal horizontal top menu and the sub menu down left. As you can see I have a green panel on the left - Just wondering how would one add an SS VERTICAL menu on top of that?

And even better - how would one make it either as a pop out OR a tree type menu?

I notice in Arams tute ( http://www.ssbits.com/building-a-theme-from-a-static-template/ ) he mentions a SilverStripe control loop for the menu:

<% control Menu(1) %>

<li>
<a class="$LinkingMode" href="$Link" title="Go to $Title">$MenuTitle</a>
</li>

<% end_control %>

Is this applicable to a left side vertical menu?

Go easy on me - my PHP knowledge is near zero. I realise one has to use CSS to style, but how could one "control loop" the menu as it might be added to / changed over time?

Cheers
Aidan
