  In 0.76.x dynamenu is installed into includes/blocks
  
  includes/blocks doesn't exist in 0.80
  
  Is there an equievalent place in 0.8, or will dynamenu have to be rewritten ?

  Usually in >=.8 all blocks have to be assoiciated to a module. This resulted in a rewrite of all core blocks plus moving them to a module where they belong to or, if nothing fits, they have been moved to the Blocks module itself.
  
  I must admit I never tried such an old style block. You can try to move it to system/Blocks/pnblocks, but there is no garuantee for success .
  
  IMHO its betterto rewrite it (or try using the core/extendedmenu block instead).

  If Extended Menu supported nested UL blocks (for nested menus) it would work.
  That is what my sites use DynaMenu for, and frankly I would prefer a CSS approach over the javascript.
  
  In fact I was planning on working on adding a CSS mode to DynaMenu after moving my sites to 0.80 -- but seeing Extended menu I would be more inclined to add multi-level to that.
  
  But it looks like I'll have to do one or the other before moving those sites to 0.80 . Do you know if multi-level was left out because by decision, or just isn't implemented yet ?

  ccandreva: in about one week I'll finish new menu block - menutree, which will allow to build nested ul/li menus.
  Currently version for pn764 is almost ready (its available ins SVN at http://noc.postnuke.com/projects/bianor/). Version for pn800 will be ready about a week.
  I hope this block will combine Extended Menu convenient interface (drag&drop management) and DynaMenu possibility to build nested menus (but generated menu can be simple and clean HTML unordered list).

  Yes - present SVN version is supposed to work correctly and ready for testing. I would be appreciated for any feedback
  
  dits: permissions are quite the same as in core menu - you can set permission to block or single link (by block title or link name). Due to tree-like structure of menu each sub element inherits parent element permissions.

  Which is more current for 0.76.4, trunk or branch ?
  
  Also, if I understand the structure correctly, this installs under the Admin module ?

  Old style blocks - those not associated with a module - can be placed into config/blocks.

  Mark, thanks I have it working except for the language file. under 0.76.4 that is placed in
  includes/language/blocks/eng/dynamenu.php
  
  I tried the obvious config/languages/eng/dynamenu.phponfig/languages/blocks/eng/dynamenu.php,
  and neither worked.

  Branch - in trunk I'll be working on version for pn8.
  
  And yes - this block is associated with Admin module because I haven't found another way to write block in new style (API and pnRender compliant ).

  I followed merkwest post and now dynamenu works
  - copy what was in includes/blocks to config/blocks
  - replace includes/blocks with config/blocks in dynamenu.php
  - moved modules/Xanthia/plugins/function.dynamenu.php to config/plugins
  
  I also replace in dynamenu.php line 214
  

  Code

  $blockcol = & $pntable['blocks_column'];

  
  with
  

  Code

  $blockcol = & $pntable['blocks_column'];
          $blockcol[position] = 'pn_position';

  
  
  It's a dirty patch but it works.
  
  Hope this helps
