Hi all,
I'm searching for a tree menu that allow me to highlight the current branch.

Ok, it's not so easy, please continue reading...

Since I need to use it on a product catalog featuring 4000 products stored in a mysql db, I would like the menu to be organizable by categories.

I can create the whole menu manually (no problem here), but I would like to make the menu to highlight the related category when clicking on a product on the page. Every product has a cat_id field but I can add other fields (i.e.: menu_id).

Every branch of the tree should link to a page (category branches will link to mycatpage.php?cat_id=#...; subcategory branches will link to mysubcatpages.php?subcat=#...; and so on...). Example:


category 1 (link to page contaning all subcatgegories related to category 1)



subcategory 1.1 (link to page containing all products in subcategory 1.1)




subcategory 1.2 (link to page containing all products in subcategory 1.2)



Even more difficult:
I have a search page on the website. And the result page show all found products sorted by category and subcategory.

I would like that, once you click on any product, the treemenu expands accordingly, displaying the tree menu subcategory (or category) where it belongs.

Is there a script that does something similar?

I searched for treemenu on DD and googled a lot about such menu, but nothing to do: I haven't found yet a solution.

Any suggestion will be very appreciated.
