KerimFriedmanI've spent the morning looking around for solutions to the following problem:
I'm using WP to create a static web site (not a blog), using the pages functionality. Using the ability to create a page hierarchy, I would like a menu that only displays other pages in the same "branch". For instance, if I have a top level item called "About" with sub pages "Contact", "Location", and "History". And another top level item called "Courses" with a list of courses offered by my program, I'd like to have a menu which either shows the three sub-pages in the "About" section or the list of courses - but not both.
The closest thing I found is the excellent Fold Page List plugin:

However, that does not seem to have an option to hide the parent items - it just hides the children of other parent items.
This looked promising, but I could not get it to work:

In the end, I used the TBR Article family plugin from this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32422
And created a list of "if" statements for each of my top level pages:
if (tbr_is_decendant_of(7)) wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=7");
if (tbr_is_decendant_of(5)) wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=5");
if (tbr_is_decendant_of(2)) wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=2");
This works, but it would be nice to have something that would work automatically without having to edit the PHP code each time I add a new top-level page.
