Dave, horizontal menu please

I'm creating a custom theme with an horizontal navitagion to the main albums. To acompish this I have tried to different approches, but none works

Fisrt I tried an unsorted list of the theme children:

<ul id="navigation" class="navigation" >
    {foreach from=$theme.children item=child}
        {capture assign=linkUrl}{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}{/capture}
        <li><a href="{$linkUrl}" >
            {if !empty($child.title)}
               {$child.title|markup}
            {/if}
        </a></li>
    {/foreach}
</ul>

Next I tried a Peer List Block

<div id="navigation"  class="navigation" >
	{g->block type="core.PeerList"}
</div>

The problem is that in both casses, the naviation items change as the user goes deep into the sub items the album.

Yes, please. I dont what to hard-code them in case I change or ad one

Thanks Dave, that was exactly what I was looking for. Maybe you can help with one more thing. I need to check a seccond condition to know the current album to add a css class

<ul id="navigation" class="navigation" >	
					{foreach from=$data.tree item=node}
						{if ($node.depth == 0) && ( SECOND CONDITION TO CHECK IF ITS THE CURRENT ALBUM)}
							<li>
								<a href="{$data.links.prefix}{$data.links[$node.id]}"  class="current" >{$data.titles[$node.id]}</a>
							</li>
						{elseif $node.depth == 0}
							<li>
								<a href="{$data.links.prefix}{$data.links[$node.id]}">{$data.titles[$node.id]}</a>
							</li>
						{/if}
					{/foreach}
				</ul>

Thanks again Dave. It worked beautifully. How ever, when you click on an album image or subalbum, it no longer work. Obviously it its because the clicked item has a different title. Please take a look at my site to see what I'm taking about.

This is how I implement your code

{g->callback type="albumselect.LoadAlbumData" stripTitles=true truncateTitles="20" createTextTree=true}
			{assign var="data" value=$block.albumselect.LoadAlbumData.albumSelect}
				<ul id="navigation" class="navigation" >	
					{foreach from=$data.tree item=node}
						{if ($node.depth == 0) && ($theme.item.title == $data.titles[$node.id])}
							<li>
								<a href="{$data.links.prefix}{$data.links[$node.id]}"  class="current" >{$data.titles[$node.id]}</a>
							</li>
						{elseif $node.depth == 0}
							<li>
								<a href="{$data.links.prefix}{$data.links[$node.id]}">{$data.titles[$node.id]}</a>
							</li>
						{/if}
					{/foreach}
				</ul>

Love the horizontal bar. it worked great for me, but seem to have the same problem as chiste. The titles are to blame, but would not have been able to do this without you so I am kind of stuck.

Thank-you for this. I like the horizontal bars much better thent he standard vertical ones. It makes it look more professional and different so thank-you.
