Hi, This is my first posting on Drupal Forum.

I am using Drupal 5.X

As you can see I have the same links on Top of the Header (horizontally arranged) and also on the leftside bar in a vertical parent-child fashion.

I DO NOT want to display those links on top of Header rather want to CUSTOMIZE them in my own way.

Could please someone throw light on me at the earliest about how this can be done?

@sitaaz - I need some clarification here, what are you wanting to do? If you want to change out what links are listed in there, you would go to administer >> site building >> menus and edit the primary links menu. (http://yourdomain/admin/build/menu if clean urls are turned on or http://yourdomain/?q=admin/build/menu if they are not). If you want to turn of the menu entirely or change out which menu appears up there, go to http://yourdomain/?q=admin/build/menu/settings or http://yourdomain/?q=admin/build/menu/settings and select the item you want from the Menu containing primary links: drop down menu.

If you are wanting to totally customize the placement of your header links, then you are starting to get into theming. Check out the Theming Handbook for some tips on working with page.tpl.php files and other Drupal functionalities. If you end up modifying the default Garland theme files, please know that it will no longer follow the Drupal upgrade path and you would be responsible for making sure that the changes you made still worked if any patches were made to it (I use CVS for my updates). When I work with existing themes that I need to tweak, I usually make a copy of it from the themes folder, and rename it to something else. Then I place it in the sites/all/themes folder (you have to create the folder the first time you use it) and enable it on the themes admin page.

Thanks for the help. I got the "edit primary links" Garland default changed to an actual text link but I was also forced (via Blocks) to add this link (called "Show Up" seen on http://www.yogayak.com/drupal5 ) to either "Header" "Footer" etc.

Is is possible to have the Primary Links at top (where the little down triangle is) uniquely without having to add the same link to anyother place in the site?

Love and light

The menu should be "on" but the block turned off.
