Hello Im new to drupal and has started to learn customising and creating subthemes using Zen,
I need to move the default Main menu navigation links (inside the header region and want to style it to float on the upper right portion of it).

I have tried putting this code inside the header region from page.tpl.php file but didnt work
I hope somebody would enlightened me :) thanks


<div id="page-wrapper"><div id="page">

  <div id="header"><div class="section clearfix<?php if ($main_menu || $page['navigation']) { print ' with-navigation'; } ?>">

    <?php if ($logo): ?>
      <a href="<?php print $front_page; ?>" title="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" rel="home" id="logo"><img src="<?php print $logo; ?>" alt="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" /></a>
    <?php endif; ?>

First off, that’s not the main menu code in it’s entirety as it appears in page.tpl. Also, you could test if the $secondary_menu might work for your needs, as it is already in the header. If positioning that is an issue, you could also make a new region above header for a custom menu.

BTW, the 7.x-3.x branch is the release version. 7.x-5.x-dev is more of a moving target, and it looks like you’re already working with an older version of page.tpl (if in fact you are writing about 7.x-5).

Title: Move Main Menu (page Navigation) inside the header region » Add note about Menu Block module next to menu variables in page.tpl
Component: CSS/HTML markup » PHP/JS code
Category: support » feature

Working with menus from within the page.tpl is a major PITA. Which is why I wrote the Menu Block module. http://drupal.org/project/menu_block

I think you'll find configuring a Menu Block and placing it in one of your sub-theme's regions much easier than trying to deal with the $main_menu variable in page.tpl. I have plans to remove those menu variables in Drupal 8.

I think we need a code comment in page.tpl to steer people clear of those variables.

I added a lengthy note about this just before print theme('links__system_main_menu' in the page.tpl.php.
