Using ?page= with custom modules?

[Kyuu]

Hi.

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9052/untitled4rd.th.jpg (http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled4rd.jpg)

Right now I have adv_portal_mytemplatename editted so it's the same as adv_portal_navigation. As you can see in the above picture, all my links under "Naruto the Movie" are the same as "Site Navigation". How can I change it so the links under "Naruto the Movie" & "Site Navigation" are different yet still main the usage of ?page=? I was using this at first...

vBadvanced Nav Menu

First create a new template called adv_portal_"your_block_name" without the quotes and add the following code to it:

<!-- Navigation Block -->
<style type="text/css">
<!--
td.row1 {background:#C6C6C6;border:1px solid; border-color:#ffffff #1b1b1b #1b1b1b #ffffff}
.style1 {color: #CCCCCC}
-->
</style>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $vbphrase[vba_navigation]</strong></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow">

Now go to you admin cp go into vBa CMPS, and add a new module name it anything u want but Navigation may be a good choice ;)
where you have "OR Template to Include:" In there put adv_portal_"your_block_name"
Set anything else you want permissions ect then save it.

There ya go a new navigation menu :D

But then when I tried to use ?page= for the links under my custom modules it wouldn't work. Anyway. Back to my picture. I'll try to explain it more thoroughly. Say....under Site Navigation I would like Home (?page=home), Forum(?page=forum), Playlist(how to make a pop-up window?), Credits(?page=credits), etc... And under Naruto the Movie...Story (?page=story), Characters(?page=characters), Music(?page=music), etc... How would I go as to do that?

P.S. I know how to create a custom module and add pages but the pages can't be applied to my custom modules (or at least I don't know how to do so).

So basically you're trying to duplicate the Site Navigation module, but have different links shown in both, right? If so, just edit your Site Navigation module and use the 'Copy' option under the 'Module Tools' section to copy the module. Then you'll be able to add links to whichever you would like, and use the 'Excluded Pages' option on both to disable any links you don't want displayed.

I'll try that later. Hopefully it'll work. Thanks for the reply.
