sorry to hijack your thread glow, just a thanks to Balinor (again!! what a man) for sorting my problem.

I am about to create a new menu. Taking balinors idea a little further, I just tracked the includes from home.php. After a while (cos I only had this thing a few days) you get the idea how the logic goes.
The key is in $smarty->assign("main", <your name>"; in home.php
home.php includes skin1/customer/home.tpl which itself includes home_main.tpl, and its here that the $smarty-> is switched,
{if $main eg "yourname" }
( include file ="customer/main/yourname.tpl" }
yourname.tpl of course is your stuff you want displayed.


A start is to duplicate the "special" menu.
In home.php, under the include special.tpl add
{include file="skin1/customer/yourname.tpl"}
duplicate special.tpl as yourname.tpl into skin1/customer

You now have 2 "special" menus. Replace the .tpls with your own.

Dont know if this helps you, but I felt good after I worked it out.
