Problem with menues

I have a problem with menues.

My site contains several folders that I want different menues for.

The node-tree looks something like this:

                       root
                        |
	           ------------
                  |            |
              level1-1      level1-2
                               |
                          ------------
                         |            |
                     level2-1     level2-2
                                      |
                          ------------------------
                         |            |           |
                      level3-1   level3-2      level3-3

On level3-1 I want a menu that fetches all the folders on level3.

I still want the entire menu for level3 visible when I browse to level3-2 and level3-3, so I can navigate around on this level.

I also want to be able to make a level3 under the level2-1 node, that will work in the same way.

Anyone that can give me a hint on how to do this?

I now built the menu like this:

	{section show=$node.depth|eq(3)}
	
			<a href={$node.url_alias|ezurl}>Info</a>
	
			{let root_node=fetch( content, node, hash( node_id, $node.node_id ) )
				 menuitems=fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
													   class_filter_type, include,
													   class_filter_array, ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ),
													   sort_by, $root_node.sort_array ) )}
		
			{section var=menu loop=$menuitems}
					{section show=eq( $menu.object.content_class.identifier, "link" )}
						<span {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}>x<a href={$menu.data_map.location.content|ezurl}>{$menu.object.name|wash}</a></span>
					{section-else}
						{section show=eq( sum( $menu.index, 1 ), $menuitems|count )}
						<span class="last {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'selected' )}">|&nbsp;<a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></span>
						{section-else}
						<span {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}>|&nbsp;<a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></span>
						{/section}
					{/section}
			{/section}
		
			{/let}

	{section-else}
	
			<a href={$node.parent.url_alias|ezurl}>Info</a>
	
			{let root_node=fetch( content, node, hash( node_id, $node.parent.node_id ) )
				 menuitems=fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $node.parent.node_id,
													   class_filter_type, include,
													   class_filter_array, ezini( 'MenuContentSettings', 'LeftIdentifierList', 'menu.ini' ),
													   sort_by, $root_node.sort_array ) )}
		
			{section var=menu loop=$menuitems}
					{section show=eq( $menu.object.content_class.identifier, "link" )}
						<span {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}>x<a href={$menu.data_map.location.content|ezurl}>{$menu.object.name|wash}</a></span>
					{section-else}
						{section show=eq( sum( $menu.index, 1 ), $menuitems|count )}
						<span class="last {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'selected' )}">|&nbsp;<a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></span>
						{section-else}
						<span {eq( $module_result.path[1].node_id, $menu.node_id )|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )}>|&nbsp;<a href={$menu.url_alias|ezurl}>{$menu.name|wash}</a></span>
						{/section}
					{/section}
			{/section}
		
			{/let}
		
	{/section}	

This so I have one menu at the depth of 3 and one at the depth of 4.

But when I use the back button, the depth is still 4...

How can I get around this?

This is the code that I normally use to accomplish this goal...(modified from another message on this forum)

<div id="leftmenunav"> 
<div id="navparent">
     	  {section name=parent loop=$module_result.path max=1 offset=1 }
               {section show=$parent:item.url}
                  <a href={$parent:item.url_alias|ezroot}>{$parent:item.text|wash}</a>
               {section-else}
    		      {$parent:item.text|wash}
               {/section}
    
         {/section}
</div>

{let docs=treemenu( $module_result.path, $module_result.node_id,
                    array( 'folder', 'infopage', 'article', 'flash', 'quicktime', 'partner'), 1, 5 ),
                    depth=1}
        <ul>
        {section var=menu loop=$:docs last-value}
            {section show=and( $menu.last.level|eq( $menu.level ), $menu.number|gt( 1 ) )}
                </li>
            {section-else}
            {section show=and( $menu.last.level|gt( $menu.level ), $menu.number|gt( 1 ) )}
                </li>
                    {"</ul>
                </li>"|repeat(sub( $menu.last.level, $menu.level ))}
            {/section}
            {/section}

            {section show=and( $menu.last.level|lt( $menu.level ), $menu.number|gt( 1 ) )}
                <ul>
                    <li class="menu-level-{$menu.level}">
            {section-else}
                <li class="menu-level-{$menu.level}">
            {/section}

            <a {$menu.is_selected|choose( '', 'class="selected"' )} href={$menu.url_alias|ezroot}>{$menu.text}</a>
			
            {set depth=$menu.level}
        {/section}
           </li>

        {section show=sub( $depth, 0 )|gt( 0 ) loop=sub( $depth, 0 )}
            </ul>
        </li>
        {/section}
        </ul>

{/let}

</div> {* id="leftmenunav" *}

This has an added function to show the parent folder because I do not show the root level in the tree menu, as the site sections are navigated with tabs.

Admittedly, I do not understand the code enough to troubleshoot it, but it usually works fine.
