Hi i've been looking all over and can't find the answer to this. I have only 3 months experience in using python/django so excuse my dummy quesion! 
Im using django mptt to display a simple nested set navigation. 

```
<ul class="root">
{% recursetree nodes %}
    <li>
        {{ node.name }}
        {% if not node.is_leaf_node %}
            <ul class="children">
                {{ children }}
            </ul>
        {% endif %}
    </li>
{% endrecursetree %}

```

this works fine - however i would like to show only children of the selected category (based on slug) and not all of them. 
Any ideas ???

i finally did it like this:

```
{% recursetree nodes %}
    <li>
      <a href='/{{ node.get_absolute_url}}'>{{ node.name }}</a>
    </li>
       {% if not node.is_leaf.node %}
                {% for c in child %}
                        {% if c in node.get_children  %}
                                {% if forloop.first %}
                                   <ul class="children">
                                         {{ children }}
                                            </ul>
                                {% endif %}
                        {% endif %}
                {% endfor %}
        {% endif %}   

{% endrecursetree %}          

```

in views 

```
category = get_object_or_404(Category, slug=slug)
child = category.get_children()
if not child : 
      child = category.get_siblings() 

```

but it is a hack. has anyone got better idea?
