Hi Kilian,
Thank you for the information. You are doing what I want to do everything is
very useful. I am new working with a wiki, I just have one question when
you said that your menu is a wiki page, thats mean that you create the menu
bar using your wiki? And thats why you don't have to set like a complete
path when you called? Could you please explain me a little more how this
work.
I appreciate your time and knowledge, thank you,
Patty

Hi Patty,
my wiki [1] has a sidebar menu that changes with top category.
The menu is a Wiki page. I included it as a sidebar by hacking the skin,
saying (in skins/GSV.php (GSV is my skin)):
# Prepare a Title and ParserOptions:
$title_for_parser = Title::newFromDBkey("GSV:Menü");
$options_for_parser = ParserOptions::newFromUser($wgUser);
# Include GSV:Menü as a menu:
echo $wgParser->parse("{{GSV:Menü}}", $title_for_parser,
$options_for_parser)->getText();
To create a top main menu bar, I would similarly hack the skin.
In the sidebar menu, I use the ConditionalMenus Extension [2] to
selectively show or hide links to pages in the top categories. You might
want to use ConditionalTemplates [3] instead, as I suppose you want all
of the sidebar menu to change with top category.
Hope this gives you the relevant ideas.
Kilian
