Hi Tony - can I assume you're working off the code as it's found in the wiki?

You can indicate the "start point of the tree" in the code itself:

$page = $this->find('/');

Change the forward slash to the slug of the starting page (inside the quotes).

I'm pretty sure that in this line of code:

echo displayChildren($page, $this, false, array('articles' => '3', 'a-sub-page' => '1'));

that last '1' is limiting the the menu generated to a single level; I expect that changing this to a '2' would get you the two levels you're after.

CAUTION - I'm not 100% sure about this, but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will correct any mistakes I've made!

nah that didn't work on a few counts... in-fact it change not a jot.

I am starting to think it might be the lines in the snippet part of the code

function displayChildren($page, $current, $startmenu = true, $limits = null) {
  if ($limits != null && array_key_exists($page->slug, $limits)) {
    $arr = array('order' => 'position ASC, published_on DESC', 'limit' => $limits[$page->slug]);
  } else

but i'm not entirely sure how to change null to a value. ($limits = '2') perhaps?

I've got a similar issue with the sitemap generator... as I am using the email_template plugin... the message/success/fail pages all appear in the sitemap tree, which is less than perfect. but that's another issue.

No the email_template seems to rely on the pages being visible... certainly the success and failure pages... as these need to be visible to the public anyway. Well i gues i will leave the nav as is... I don't want to invest anymore time into adding more than the essential  at this time.

Thanks David for the help either way... however i'm wondering... 'one man a forum does not make'.
