Block Display Issue [#1197074]

Description of bug:
Nothing I do displays primary links on the top of any of the pages the way it should do. I can get primary link blocks to work in some regions, but it looks nothing like the demo site, It looks like a simple hyperlinks in blue. The simple hyperlinks style vertically down the page, not horizontally and right aligned as they are in the demo site.

I have tried using primary links blocks pre-loaded with the theme, setup in various regions with no luck. I have setup my own menu blocks, configured for primary links, with the same result: simple hyperlinks in blue text, displaying vertically down the page.

When putting primary link box in the header, search and banner region, it displays as simple links.
When put in highlighted and content region, nothing is displayed.
This is the case for pre-loaded primary link block and selfmade primary link block.

Am I missing a region in there somewhere? What the hell is going on?!

The theme I am using is called bluemaster_views, not the original on drupal, but modified to have a content type called "front_page_image" which makes it easier to replace the slider images.

I can give access to the site as its online now. And driving me completely and utterly nuts.

Many thanks for any help given.

Same for me, almost seems like the links are supposed to be put hard-coded... but not sure.

Hello garymcnamara

Add the following code to your .css file

/*
* Header menu
*/
.region-header ul.menu li { float:left; display:block; overflow:hidden; list-style-type:none; padding:0 10px; margin:0; border-right:1px solid #6a87a3;  }

.region-header ul.menu li.first { padding:0 10px 0 0; }

.region-header ul.menu li.last { border-right:none; }

I created an issue with your request here http://drupal.org/node/1203756 and i committed the css change.

This change will help you see the menu items in Header region to be mounted horizontally. This applies to each menu that is placed in Header region.
Also, if you want to add links to the Main Bluemasters theme navigation (main-menu), you should add your menu-items to Main menu through Home » Administration » Structure » Menus » Main menu.

Thanks

Hi gtsopour

did not work. In fact, now I have no menu at all... :-(

Initially the menu orientated horizontally, but still in line of the search bar area.

My goal is to to exactly replicate the primary menu on the blumaster theme, with the links large and bold, underneath the search box and in line with the logo. Basically what you get in the live demo website.

As this did not happen, I went in to structure and removed primary links from the header region. Once saved, I checked the menu could not to be seen by navigating back to the home page. Once checked, I then went back to structure and enabled the primary links back in the header region.

And got nothing...!

Could you have another look? If you need access to the FTP server I can give you access.

Really appreciate your assistance here, more than you probably realize!

Thanks
Gary

Hello Gary

I fixed your issue when i selected the Primary links as the source for the Main links through admin/structure/menu/settings (http://stalbanscarpenter.co.uk/admin/structure/menu/settings).

I think that your issue caused from the fact that the Main menu has id "primary-links" and not "main-menu". This probably caused from a Drupal upgrade from version 6 to version 7? In any case, now you have no problem.

Futhermore, i enabled the User menu block in the header region and all User menu links aligned horizontally (yesterday patch).

Thank you for your good words and don’t hesitate to ask for further clarifications.

George

a simple thank you can't convey the full weight of my appreciation of your help. Night after night you come on to the forums, patiently giving assistance to us, explaining what we did wrong. You have no incentive or reward to do so, but you do it anyway.

I am sure I speak for the considerable number of people whom you have helped when we say we really do appreciate it!

I'll going to send you a PM shortly - our company has 2 drupal sites (one of which quite significant). We are toying with an idea which would require building another one, which if went ahead we would want also on drupal.

Cheers!
Gary
