Thanks, I was hoping this kind of thing would work, but I'm still doing
something wrong.
In models, I added menu2.py which contains a custom menu but is set up just
like the default menu in layout.html, and
in the layout.other.html I added
{{=MENU(menu2)}}
but when I run the view, I am getting a response.write error
type 'exceptions.NameError'>(name 'menu2' is not defined)
I tried adding it to the index.html and get the same error.
What am I doing wrong? thanks Anthony
