you'll probably want to create your own displayPage3Column.cfm in your
projects /webskin/types/ folder. From there, you can use the farcry tag:

<skin:genericNav navID="#request.navid#"
            functionMethod="getBloodline"
            functionArgs="jointable=""dmNavigation"",
status=""#request.mode.lvalidstatus#"""
            id="nav-secondary"
            startlevel="3"
            bHideSecuredNodes="true"
            bActive="true">

which will create the navigation you need. The default CSS has the right
formatting for the id="nav-secondary". You can obviously change the styling,
but check that it works first. If you go to
/webskin/types/displayHeaderStandard.cfm, you'll see the same tag used. It's
a gem.

In general, <skin:genericNav> creates a <ul> or <a> list of links for your
navigation starting at the objectID corresponding to a dmNavigation object
(that's navID), picking up all dmNavigation objects, with the status
dependent on whether you are viewing drafts or only approved.
bHideSecuredNodes checked which role is logged in and shows links only
allowed to be viewed by that role. I think bActive highlights the current
link.

Hope that helps,
