Is there anyway to use the built-in DNN Menu module to display a menu

Is there anyway to use the built-in DNN Menu module to display a menu based at a different root node other than the current tab node?

Given the following structure:

Page1
-child1_1
-child1_2
Page3
Page2(hidden)
-child2_1
-child2_2

In this scenario I will be having 2 menus on this skin. One will be normal navigation based off of the current node and the other will be a set of ‘static’ links to pages located outside the current node.

When on Page1 the normal navigation will show Page1, Page3 and the children of Page1 nested under Page1. The ‘static’ links will use ‘Page2’ as their root and will show child2_1 and child2_2.

    In case anyone needs the answer to this, it is possible to do this using the dnn:NAV control:

    <dnn:NAV runat="server" ID="dnnNAV" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" IndicateChildren="false" PopulateNodesFromClient="true" ControlOrientation="Horizontal" StartTabId="66" Level="Child" />
    • The StartTabId is the “root node” of the menu.
    • Level=”Child” tells DNN to get the child tabs of the StartTabId. Use Level=”Same” if you want to get tabs on the same level as the StartTabId.
