With PHP and Mysql, I set up a table for categories and a table for articles. In the categories table, a field specified whether a particular category should be added to the menu or not. In rendering the menu, I checked which category the user was in, and highlighted that entry in the menu. Each category could have one or more articles, and one article could be set as the "default" article for that category and therefore automatically displayed. If there was no default article, a list of links to all the articles in that category was displayed.
I'm wondering whether I'll need to create a "product" to come up with something in zope that has the same functionality. No, this is not necessary.
You build the same tables in MySQL as before. You make a Python script that interprets the tables and the current context and generates the menu. Very similar to an PHP solution. Dieter
