Integrating second menu into single pages

    Hi

    I would like to integrate a vertical menu to sit at the left side of my posts, please view, https://www.fuximagazine.com/music/2010/05/17/lee-jung-hyun-meets-with-lady-gaga-to-plan-her-american-advance/

    In this menu I will include further subcategories to the available subcategories in the top horizontal menu. I have already created the menu in CSS, please view, https://fuximagazine.com/dev/commenu.html#

    This vertical menu is relative to the category that the post has been written for only.

    My current main menu is a widget, loaded through the header.php

    I have included this vertical menu in my single.php;

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="bigcolumn">

<?php
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( in_category('45') ) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/widgets/single2.html');
} elseif ( in_category('8') ) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/widgets/single.html');
} else { ?>
    <div id="singleleftcolumn"><?php $sec = 1; include TEMPLATEPATH. '/widgets/news_left.html'; ?></div>
    <div id="singlerightcolumn"><?php $sec = 2; include TEMPLATEPATH. '/widgets/single3.html'; ?></div>
<?php
}
?>

<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Does anybody know how I can integrate this new menu so that it is specific to the category that the post is in, e.g Film, Music… etc.

    Code for my horizontal menu is as follows,

    <div id="menu">

	<?php if ($comfy['menu'] == true) : ?>
	<ul>
	<li<?php if(!is_category() && !is_page()) { ?> class="current-cat"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/" title="Home"><?php print NAV_HOME; ?></a></li>
	<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=ID&order=ASC&depth=2&hide_empty=0&title_li=&exclude='.$comfy['featured']); ?>
	</ul>
	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php if ($comfy['search'] == true) : ?>
	<form class="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
		<fieldset>
			<input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" class="searchfield" />
			<input type="submit" value="" class="searchbutton" />
		</fieldset>
	</form>
	<?php endif; ?>

</div>

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Think I should re-word some of this. Does anybody know what I should change in the above menu php to target the ‘child’ and ‘grandchild’ categories, of a particular parent category?

    I’m starting to get somewhere, have managed to get a menu running down the left side, using the following code,

    <div id="fuximenu">
	<ul>
	<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/" class="on">Home</a></li>
 	<?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&exlude=181&title_li=');
 	$this_category = get_category($cat);
 	if (get_category_children($this_category->cat_ID) != "") {
 		echo "<ul>";
	wp_list_categories('orderby=id&show_count=0&title_li=&use_desc_for_title=1&child_of='.$this_category->cat_ID);
 		echo "</ul>";
 	}
	?>
	</ul>
	</div>

    Does anybody know what to change in the code so that it targets and only shows the child categories of a specific parent category?
