show_menu2 show child from parent only

[sky writer]

I have a working menu structure

Code:

<?php show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START, SM2_TRIM|SM2_PRETTY,
'<li><a href="[url]" target="[target]">[menu_title]</a>', '</li>', '<ul class="personmenu">', '</ul>', 
false, false
); ?>

That looks like this:
Home
Person

The "Person" menu item has a child named "Scores".  Currently, when I click "Person", the "Scores" link appears below it's parent - "Person", which is fine.  But I also want the child "Scores" to appear in another location, when "Person" is clicked.  And here is the part I am really having trouble with...
When someone clicks this separate child "Scores" menu link, to open the "Scores" page, I want that separate "Scores" menu link to go away.  I can't seem to find a combination that will accomplish that.

I have tried everything I can find on: http://www.websitebakers.de/sm2/

If I understand the question correctly... 

Code:

show_menu2(0, SM2_CURR+1, SM2_CURR+1, etc....);

This should only show children of the current page.

I left one important detail out.  The menu structure is actually three deep.

That is, there is:
Home
Person
     - Person 1
              - Person 1 Scores
     - Person 2
              - Person 2 Scores

So, I only want to see the additional "Person 1 Scores" child link when I am on the parent of that link (Person 1).

Code:

show_menu2(0, SM2_CURR+1, SM2_CURR+1, etc....);

shows "Person 1" and "Person 2" links in the alternate position when I am on the "Person" page.  I don't want that.

Hope this is clearer now.

try this please....

Code:

<?php

show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT+2, SM2_START,  SM2_TRIM|SM2_CURRTREE|SM2_PRETTY, '<li><a href="[urL]"...');

?>

Tried that one before.  I tried again, and it doesn't give the result I am after.

That shows "Scores" on the "Person 1" page, and the "Person 1 Scores" page itself.
It also shows all Person1,2,3,4,5 child "Scores" links on the "Person" page.

There are conditional parameters possible in SM2.

Code: (NOT tested)

<?php
show_menu2(0, SM2_CURR+1, SM2_CURR+1, SM2_CURRTREE, "[if(level > 1){[li][a][menu_title]</a>}]","</li>");
?>

..that should generate items for menu level 2 and up.

Thank you both for you time and talent.
Ruud, that worked perfectly.
I did read the the show_menu2 documentation, but wasn't skilled enough to work out the formatting of the string.
Cheers!

3 cheers for show_menu2(). The best WB addition ever.
