Hi All.

I am having trouble setting up the secondary menu for Marinelli 7.x-3.0-beta9. I have the box checked for a secondary menu under Home » Administration » Appearance » Settings » Appearance in Drupal 7. While I have a configuration link for "Primary menu settings" and where to pull the menu from, I have nothing like that for a secondary menu. I would like a simple secondary menu setup under the banner like the one on the Marinelli demo site.

Thank you for any help in advance!

Issue tags: +dropdown menu problem

Hi Nonsense.

I struggeled with this as well, and finally ended up solving the problem this way:
* Login as admin
* Press Appearence->Configure Marinelli theme
* Find the dropdown menu that is called "Primary Menu Settings"
* Change "Classic Primary Links" to "Mega Dropdown Menu", and choose your menu in the next box.
* Save.

Now, add new content, when you've chosen which type you want to create, scroll to the bottom of the page.
* Tick the menu option, and choose a menu item, it has to go under.

Voilá! :-D

I found the answer here:

I am not entirely sure this solves the original problem. If I understand correctly, this suggestion results in secondary menus appearing under the megamenu dropdown.

I would also be interested in knowing how to get secondary menus to appear under the banner (in the blue bar; as shown in the Marinelli demo), rather than as a component of the megamenu.

Currently, the menu under the banner defaults to the user menu. There doesn't seem to be a place available under Blocks to add content to the "Secondary Menu" region.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

This is exactly what I am also trying to do. It seems reasonable enough to expect that the demo site be representative of the theme... but I have no idea how they positioned a secondary menu under the primary links, as it seems to default to the user menu, with no option to move it or change it.

If anybody has a solution to the above, I'd be grateful to know it.

Nevermind, found it!..

(Drupal 7) Structure > Menus > Settings (tab, up top left)

Then pick a menu for secondary links in the drop down.

I'm still stumped on this topic. I understand that Primary Links are for only one level. But when using the mega drop down menu, what if your menu structure is like:

  • Products (1st level item)
    • Cameras (2nd level item)
      • Sony (3rd level item)
      • JVC
    • Other

The "Other" item doesn't line up in the menu with the other secondary item ("Cameras") unless it also contains tertiary menu items. What if you wanted it to function more like Nice Menus or Superfish? Is there a way to force "Classic Primary Links" to function similarly?

Thanks!

Darkplek nailed it! That's what I was looking for!

But what if you want the links in the secondary menu to be the children of the primary menu?

The way I understand it, you just set both primary and secondary to the same menu, but for me, that's not working.

If I set the secondary links to a different menu, they appear nicely below the banner as they should, but if I set to the same as the primary menu nothing appears in the area where the secondary links should show.

I have a problem with the secondary links. I add some links into the user menu, but the problem is that they are always available and I want to add links for some user. Anybody know how to do that?

Thank you very much Darkplek. Your solution worked fine for me, too.
