hi all
i downloaded the treemenu extension, registered it and included it in my pagelayout.tpl template. without changing anything in the treemenu1.tpl file.
the site is organized as follows:

-home
--the group
---my group
---the group in the world

and so on

and it has an horizontal main menu, while i'm trying to install the vertical treemenu

the problem is that i only see the parent of the node i select (on the main menu) without viewing it and its sons!
(if i select "the group" in my treemenu i only can see "home", and i can't see "my group" and "the group in the world")

i need some help on the configuration!
thanx a lot
alessandro

I'm not sure if this helps (as I'm not sure what your question is!!) but you know that your node contains an array of all the children? Look in $node.path array.

For example I use it in the template full for my articles to show the name of folder y in this layout:

---- folder x
------- folder y
----------- article a
----------- article b

Using this code:

<p class="title">latest articles in {$node.path[2].name} </p>

I can show the id of that node like so:

<p class="title">latest articles in {$node.path[2].node_id} </p>

Does that help?
