Drupal Gardens 7 Main Menu both across the top and in sidebar

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'm taking a Drupal Gardens web site to my own hosting, and need to display in the sidebar the 'sub' menu items for the section the user clicked into. The Main Menu is across the top, with flyouts. Now, the sidebar needs to have menu items, not the top most level, just the fly outs.

There are many ways in D6 to do this. I'm now working in D7 and feeling out of sorts, given I want to give admin control over this. I've done it several ways in d6, including add on modules or my own custom php snippets.

So, this post is more about D7 Best Practice and whether D7 modules are up to this. Module Menu Block comes to mind, among others.

Any hints I will follow up on, repost my findings. I'm going up the D7 learning curve and menus are always key features I have found need lots of learning.

Menu Block

If there's a better module than Menu Block for this sort of thing, I can't think of it and will be curious to hear if anyone else thinks so. I think MB is really good, and should do just what you want.

You seem to know of it already, but a link anyway:
