Hi everybody,

this is my third day using Drupal so please bear with me :-)

I have created a vocabulary called "Geographical location" that includes the tiers "continents", "countries" and "cities".
I have installed taxonomy_menu to make this vocabulary appear in the left-side navigation.
This has worked so far, but it displays the menu like this:

>Geographical location (not expanded)
>>Africa
>>>Egypt
>>>>Hurghada
>>Asia
>>>Thailand
>>>>Koh Samui

This is not what I want, however. What I want is this:

>Africa
>>Egypt (not expanded)
>>>Hurghada (not expanded)
>Asia
>Australia
>Europe
>North America
>South America

So I only need the second tier of the vocabulary and I want all terms on that tier (the continents) to already be expanded.

Does anbody know how to achieve this using taxonomy_menu or could point me to an alternative solution using a different module?

Help appreciated!

Ok, a cup of coffee and some walking around and I found the answer myself.

Solution:
Use administer -> menus

1. Find a scond tier entry and click configure
2. Choose "navigation" as the parent menu entry
3. Save
4. Repeat until all 2nd tier entries show up in the navigation
5. Deactivate the 1st tier term to make it disappear from the menu

Even though the denominator of the vocabulary is now gone, the 2nd tier entries stay visible.

Sorry for bothering evereybody. I should have waited another half hour to find a solution myself.

PS: English button and menu names could be wrong in this post as I am using a German version of Drupal and have retranslated them myself
