Seperate vertical menu from top menu |

Hello All.. I'm very new to Artisteer and DNN, so forgive me if I've just over looked this somewhere.
I created a new skin, imported it and all, for now, looks ok. However I'd when I create a new page the page shows up in both the top menu and the vertical menu, duplicating my menu items. Is there a way to seperate the two so I can one set on top and a differnt set of menu buttons vertically, or do I have to choose between one or the other in my skin creation?
Thanks,
Bob

Same issue. I abandonned the vertical menu just because of that.
Hope there is a setting somewhere I don't know about.
I will be disappointed if there is none

From a request made to Artisteer's support regarding this same issue, this is what I got:
===================
In fact, the code to populate vertical menu is the same as horizontal.
So please feel free to decide which one you prefer and remove the other one.
You can remove the horizontal menu by selecting a layout without menu (Artisteer > Layout tab), the vertical menu - by selecting Position > No Block option (Artisteer > Vertical Menu tab).

Then I replied with
That defeated the purpose of adding the vertical menu in first place.
I know I can modify the .aspx file and remove it, but I don't want to have two separate menus.
Again, menus on top and side that are not clone, is very common.
I showed this site for illustration as I am doing one similar.

There is another one I am tasked in refining.
They also want to keep a horizontal menu, but for the Drop-down ones, they want this on the left.
Just that it doesn't specify that you have to have either or..
=====
The answer was that the gymnastic website was built n Joomla instead of Dotnetnuke. Artisteer just got into this so maybe in a future release they will actually support multiple separate menus. For now, just choose either or.
Sucks, but it is the only thing they support right now.

I guess that wasn't the answer we were hoping for. However I asked a simliar question in the DDN fourms, I left out the fact I was using Artisteer, the reply I recieved was this:
1. Add a second NAV skin object to the .ascx file and restyle this to fit into your skin design. - To do this you will need to edit the skin .ascs file and include a second nav skin object, chnage the settings of this to suit the menu you're after and then style using CSS.
2. Use the links module to create a set of links and place these in a "MarginPane", and then add this to relevant pages. - To achieve this you can add the links module to the first page and edit the links to include all the pages you want to link to, then on the other pages you woudl "Add an existing module" and select the links module. This will then show on all the pages you add it to, and if you update the links, it will update in all instances of the mod.
3. Use a HTML module to create a set of links and place these in a "MarginPAne", and then add this to relevant pages. - This is pretty much the same as above, but would give you some additional scope to styling the links becuase you could place them in a <ul> with a class and use CSS to fully style as you like.
For the 2 nav objest, Timo has a great example which I'd recommend looking at: http://dnnskinextensions.codeplex.com/
I did play with option 2, and it does the trick, but leaves a lot to desire. The other 2 options I'll have to figure out, I'm not much on coding but figure there is enough resources out there that I'll figure it out. Let me know if anyone comes up anything new..
Thanks,
Bob
