How to: Vertical Menu - show parent level all times, and same level? 

Hi DNN fans,

I'm looking for a method to set up the navigation a specific way.  Bascially I'd like to have the menu structured to always show the parent level tabs, but it also shows the same level pages (much like a multi-level navbar, but i need the display vertical).  Here is a text example of how I'd like it to work.  In this example, the current page would be "Child of Parent Tab 2".

  • Parent Tab 1
  • Parent Tab 2
    • Child of Parent Tab 2 - 1
    • Child of Parent Tab 2 - 2
    • Child of Parent Tab 2 - 3
  • Parent Tab 3
  • Parent Tab 4
  • Parent Tab 5

 

If the user were to go deeper into the portal, it might look like this: (if currently on tab 'Granchild of Parent Tab 2 - 1")

  • Parent Tab 1
  • Parent Tab 2
    • Child of Parent Tab 2 - 2
      • Grandchild of Parent Tab 2 - 1
      • Grandchild of Parent Tab 2 - 2
      • Grandchild of Parent Tab 2 - 3
  • Parent Tab 3
  • Parent Tab 4
  • Parent Tab 5

OR THIS: (Not too concerned either way)

  • Parent Tab 1
  • Parent Tab 2
    • Child of Parent Tab 2 - 1
    • Child of Parent Tab 2 - 2
      • Grandchild of Parent Tab 2 - 1
      • Grandchild of Parent Tab 2 - 2
      • Grandchild of Parent Tab 2 - 3
    • Child of Parent Tab 2 - 3
  • Parent Tab 3
  • Parent Tab 4
  • Parent Tab 5

-------------------------------

In my opinion, this acts more like a vertically displayed breadcrumb more than a navigation bar, but in either case, I need four requirements, one being that all parent tabs are always displayed, two- the 'same' level pages are also always displayed, three- no sub-menus popping up, and four it is displayed vertically, perferably in a list-like format.  If you were to navigate to a parent level tab, you'd only see other parent level tabs. 

 

Is this possible?  Does anyone have any advice for this?
