I have 5 channels with different custom fields. Each channel entry displays on its own page. On every page, there is a navigation with links to other entries from that channel only. When a new channel entry is created, a new link is generated in the navigation. But I need the navigation and the channel entry to always display on the SAME PAGE.

Here it is working manually - http://fullcirclecreatives.com/clients/sweetmoments/cupcakes/vanilla.html

On the left hand navigation you click an item and a new page displays, along with an “active” link style.

I have it half working dynamically. Here is the navigation working correctly - http://sweetmomentsinc.com/index.php?/cupcakes/cupcake_test_template

But when you click on a menu item, only the link for that entry is displayed and the rest of the links disappear. If I can get it to work like my manual website that would be awesome!

Left navigation code:

<ul>
{exp:channel:entries channel="cupcakes" sort="asc" disable="member_data|pagination|categories"}

<li><a href="http://{url_title_path=" title="{title}">{title}</a></li>

{/exp:channel:entries}

</ul>

Channel entry display code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="cupcakes" limit="1"}
<div class="flavors">

            <h3>{title}</h3>
<p>            {cupcake_description}</p>

<p></div><br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

I figured it out, it was really simple. All I had to do was add dynamic=“no” to my dynamic navigation channel entry code, and embed the dynamic menu into the page where the entry is displayed.

{exp:channel:entries channel="cupcakes" sort="asc" dynamic="no" disable="member_data|pagination|categories"}

It sounds kind of ironic because I want a dynamic menu, but then I have to make the menu itself not be dynamic when I embed it in the page. Now all I have to do is figure out how to add my active css style to the navigation according to which entry is clicked.
