Hi there, I tried to do as Laura suggested and put a menu item rather than a menu under the "primary links" menu, the thing that confuses me now is where the path should point. There's no node asociated with this menu since it's going to be a menu. I feel stupid. Also since i don't want to hack in templates files or such, being a non-programmer i wonder if there's a module that could help me out? This module should be able to make colapsable menus, if possible without refreshing the page, but maybe that's too much to ask for... Thankful for any answers. /Krister

You can't do it that way. It has to have a path to a page or node of some type.

Maybe you can look into Nice Menus (http://drupal.org/project/nice_menus), though it won't change the functionality of the menus, only the look and feel, so you don't have to do a page refresh.

Hi Jason and thanks a lot for the tips. Is it possible to put a menu under the primary links or should it go as menu items? If so where should the first menus path point? Sorry for repeatedly asking the same questions. I hope i will figure this out eventually.:) /Krister

Subscribing ... I have the same question. Last time I searched, it seems D5 doesn't allow 'dummy menus' (which means it doesn't point to anything but just a placeholder to expand submenu items). Will this be supported in D6 with all the menu changes? Thanks, -Jim

The problem as I see it, the menu needs to display something when clicked. The "dummy menu" then should display the list of submenu items along with the description if provided as a node page. Is there a module to do this? If not you should be able to create one.

There's a code snippet I wrote:
It's mostly theme code, not module code, which is why I didn't make a module out of it.

It is a start. ;p Expanding the "dummy menu" item works regardless for your code though. It would be nice to have the ability to un/expand it.

Hi, How about a module such as "Lucid menus", will that do what we want? /Krister

I don't know, you'll have to tell me. However, this is yet another example of let us create another module like Nice Menus rather than helping to enhance the module that already exists.
