Hi,

My website lists arrangements and compositions I have written that are for sale. On the main page for each series of arrangements, I need to use an unordered list as a secondary navigational aid (see screenshot). How can I accomplish this using a custom component? Please note that the number of entries in the list will vary by series, so a fixed number of bulleted items will not do in this instance.

Is this possible? Thanks!

Are the links going to pages, or to some position within a page?

If so you could consider using the Top Pages component to accomplish this as you can feed it a folder full of links that are setup to take you to the appropriate location. I have used this approach to customize navigation on some of my sites.

But I have only used it to naviagte to either anchors on the page you are on or to other pages on the site.

As @handshaper says, you might be able to manage the secondary navigation by adding those links as “Link pages”. This [Link & Code Pages video](https://youtu.be/AfeTYHFP5i0?si=OCtyce8o3zPWrKsQ) explains how that works.

You could then use the Top Pages component to list out those links. [This video](https://youtu.be/izxsNWPrPe8?si=HnzDrF7MTUyYM3Fu) explains how Top Pages work.

If you think this approach would work, let me know and I can whip up a quick video and example project showing you how to do this. Let me know 🙂
