This is an amazing extension I've been not aware of.
What a pity that it doesn't support SEF-links...

The latest version should support SEF link. Please provide more detail or an example of where it does not.
Thanks

The new "none-tree" list styles are very much appreciated! Though the tree-display was the initial purpose and main feature... it is now more usefull for almost any usage. The added list styles are more like a Menu or Content-Linklist!
IMHO it is prettier and looks less technical or explorer-like.
Wishlist:
- Ordering by create date, modified date
- maybe a fancy AJAX tooltip with intro text
Thanx for all your efforts!

This is an excellent module the does what it says it will, and does it easily.
Two info items of note:
a) The description says that it will create a menu of content items. It appears that it will menu content and only content items. You will need other menu items (outside of Moscmenutree) to access your joomla components and non-content items.
b) The root of Moscmenutree displays a colored link that leads back to the author's website. Authors do heroic work and deserve their credit, but some of your public users might get a surprise detour to the authors website.

MosCmenuTree is intend only for content only! You can also embed MosCmenuTree anywhere in your content with the use of MosModule. MosCmenuTree also can be run with several copies of itself and it will run without any conflict!
Thanks for the review.

This is one hell of a module!
I've used to create a tree and it did the best job that everything else I've tried. It is very easy to config and very easy to hack and modify.
The only downfall is that it is not very easy though to create your own dhtml menus, because you will need to alter the code behind the module, it won;t do it for you. After all it is a module, not a component.
The default styles look great though.
This module is specifically useful to people that want to create tree menus. It does a fantastic job. Moreover it creates menus automatically based on section, or category ids.
Great work! Highly recomended.

This is one of my very, very favorite extensions. I have used it to create a Business Directory Listing, like a Yellow pages listing in a snap. It is very versatile and easy to use. Thanks so much, Chanh! :)
