Re: Multi-Level Menu

I'm quite new to cakephp however I'm creating a small cms and
I was looking for the best way to store categories on the database and
then retrieve them on a multi level drop down menu.
I went for a tree structure. Very close to what you're linking.
There is a great tree helper for cakephp.
Then I used javascript to make the multi level uls look nice.
