Back when I used 4.7 I had no problem converting my primary links into a unordered list. Now in 5.0 however, I can't get this to work.

So back in the 4.7 days I did something like this:

<?php
print '<ul>';
foreach ($primary_links as $link) {
   print '<li>'. $link .'</li>';
}
print '</ul>';
?>

And your primary links are all set to be in a unordered list with additional

    this got ugly, sorry.

    But, when I have my primary links displayed as this unordered list example in my previous post, then I can applie some css code that makes this a quite beautiful menu.

    Like in the example menus presented here: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/drop_examples.html

    So anyone who can point me in the right direction here would be a saint! ;)

    I thought I saw a module a while back "advanced_menu" or something like that that did what you're looking. I would search for "menu" in the projects list and am sure you will find it.

    Have fun.

    Changing

    <?php
print theme('links', $primary_links);
?>

    to

    <?php
print theme('menu_tree', $primary_links);
?>

    should give you your unorder list.

    thank you nevets!

    It does give me a unordered list, but not expanded(not children of the links). You got that one covered as well?

    At least now I'am one the right track here :)

    My original theme function looks like this: 

      <?php
    print theme('links', $primary_links, array('class' =>'menu_tree primary_menu'));
  ?>

    To get the ul-listing AND expanded, I did:

       <?php 
     print theme('menu_tree',variable_get('menu_primary_menu',0)); 
   ?>

    However, if you look at the first theme function(the original one) it contains an array that assigns the class
    menu_tree primary_menu. This gives me the class .primary_menu which is easy to work with.

    So the only issue I'am facing now, is how to assign this class to my last theme function.. Care to fill me in?
