# Sub-Nav without header pages?

 * Greetings all – first time poster. I’ve customized a handful of sites using Bblog
   and MT previously and am taking a stab at WordPress. Really like what I’ve seen
   so far but I’m trying to figure out how to do the following:
 * I have a navigational structure for a website that looks like the example below:
 * I. HOME
    II. SECTION I —– A. SubNav I:1 ———- 1. SubNav I:1:A ———- 2. SubNav I:
   1:B —– B. SubNav I:2 III. SECTION II —– A. SubNav II:1 —– B. SubNav II:2
 * Basically, a combination of sub-navigation. What I’m trying to do is create a
   dynamic menu allowing the user to access the various sub-sections functioning
   almost identically to the menu seen here:
 * [http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/mktree/](http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/mktree/)
 * You’ll notice when you click “Calendars/” in that example menu, it doesn’t go
   to a “Calendars/” page – one may not even exist. It merely expands the sub-sections
   of Calendar so you can navigate directly to a sub-section. I want to do something
   similar dynamically in WP but I’m not sure how to organize the site to manage
   this. I.E. I can organize the site into Main Pages, Sub-Pages, and Sub-Sub-Pages,
   but is there a way to dynamically generate a menu based on the pages / sub-pages
   where the parent page doesn’t link to an actual page but, rather, just expands
   the sub-navigation below it on a list? In MT, you’d do it using folders and pages
   within folders. I’m just trying to figure out the WP equivalent. Thanks in advance
   for the help.

 * there’s no wordpress equivalent for this, unfortunately…
 * if your script requires a basic unordered list and that’s it, then you won’t 
   be able to dynamically generate this using a built-in wordpress function without
   having the top level link to something.
 * However, with PHP anything is possible, and so there’s definitely going to be
   a way for you to code around this by generating your own list of pages and sub-
   pages using a combination of wordpress functions and your own little php gems.
 * It’s going to depend largely on your comfort-level with PHP.

 * Thanks for the reply, Ivovic!
 * That’s what I thought but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. I’m not a php guru
   at the present, but have been coding in other languages for a while so I can 
   get around in it. I started to hack something together using Rob Schumann’s “
   Fold Page List’ plug-in as a starting point.
