Spark Menus (obsolete)

Abandoning this module in favor of Menu_MiniPanels, now that I'm a co-maintainer of that module.

Old Description

A pseudo-menu that creates two-column pseudo-blocks containing links to term pages from two related vocabularies.

A typical use case would be for a store website that had their products broken into a few main categories with lists of subcategories and a second vocabulary for storing brands, this allows listing of all of the subcategories and the brands within each main category in one focused block.

It was originally written to provide an advanced menu structure for the FidoDogTreats.com site without having to build "MegaMenus" or something that involved a good deal of manual intervention. A key goal was to allow it to be completely automated after the initial setup, that term changes would be handled without issue.

This module currently only supports Drupal 6.

What's in a name?

While building the module a natural question arose: what to call it? After trying to summarize the functionality in a few words created eloquent options like "Two Column Term-Based Pseudo-Menu Pseudo-Blocks", "twocoltermmenublock", "termcolumnmenublock" or "NotaMenu", so we took the high road and opted for blatant self promotion =)
