[TYPO3-english] hmenu: special directory - is it possible to show the parent page in the menu as well?!

Hi,

Right and that is different than what you asked for previously. So when 
on horizonatal A or B display vertical menu B. Fine I'd suggest that you 
get it to all work fine when on horizontal B, and from what you've said 
it does. FYI for the vertical menu I'd use entryLevel

Then when on A simply change the menu slightly

[globalVar = TSFE:id= uid_of_A ]
SECONDMENU {
enrtyLevel>
special = list
special.value = uid_B
}
[global]

Does that solve it for you?
