Hi there,

I really like the style of the top navigation bar as seen here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/ and would fit the layout of my site well.

So basically what I need is a primary menu that shows all of the main sections of the site, and the secondary menu that displays the subsections of what ever primary menu item is selected.

Can anyone shed some like on how this would be acheived in Drupal? Am I better of writing a snippet? (Only learning this now), or has someone seen a module/snippet like this?

Cheers
Aaryn

Hello,

I have searched the same solution and found the nice-menus module:
http://drupal.org/project/nice_menus

I had issue with garland theme, but it works fine with bluemarine theme.

The display is not exactly what you search, but if you change the CSS you could probably have the same result.

Cheers,
Damien

The trouble with Nice menus is that Drupal 5 version is not ready for production yet.

You could try http://drupal.org/project/lucid_menu instead

Thanks guys,

I did a bit more searching around and found Thom of adrenalinehub.com on these forums. He has done exactly what I was after, but states in his posting that he hardcoded the menus into his theme files, which is probably what I will attempt to do.

I'll still use Dupal's menu system to set and edit the menu items, but I will hardcode the display. I'll see what I can do about making this a module as it seems to be a rather popular request.

Here's the thread if anyone else is interested. You'll have to read the comments to see what Thom has done:
