Create a menu block based on path using views

Question

I'm trying to use views 3 to create a view that I can place in a block that is based on the url path

For example

example.com/student/ example.com/student/page1 example.com/student/page2 example.com/student/page3

All 4 pages are in the menu along with other pages Students page1 page2 page3

I want to create a view that will display (dynamically) on pages with the following url pattern example.com/student/* I want the view to only return child menu items that have Student as a parent.

I'm working with menu view, but I can not get the contextual filter and relationship to work correctly. Any tips. Or an alternate way to accomplish

Answer 1

You can simply use Menu Block module to accomplish this task. If you want to display a block on specific pages just goto the relevant block configuration and under " Show block on specific pages" select "Only on listed pages" define the following

student/*

Now your block will appear only if this URL pattern will match. No matter what you have used to create your block.
