Hi everybody,

I have a drop down menu in my drupal site, and I would like that when I select any option, show the sub-menu in a block, like you can see in the image.

What's module can i use for show the sub-menu in a block or how can I do?

I'll appreciate any help.

Regards.

I'm not 100% sure what you want from looking at your picture, but I do something that might be what you want:

First, suppose that your primary links have one link named "About".
Now, make a menu called About. Put items in that menu (I do this by making pages and assigning menus items to the pages when I create the pages. When I create these, I typically make an URL Alias of About/PageName.
Now, go to edit your blocks. Put the About menu in the left sidebar and press save. Now, press Configure for that block. Under Configure, choose "show only on the following pages" and write:
About
About/*

You can also write any other pages if you didn't happen to use the convention I described above of giving them the URL of About/PageName.

Hopefully you can follow this, it works fine and I've used it now on a couple of sites. The only problem is that the Primary Link will not remain highlighted when someone chooses one of the sidebar links.

Hi Annsera,

I'm writing to tell you that I am grateful for the guidelines that you gave on the last post. I didn't realize I could that way. It was really useful for me.

thanks.

I suppose you wanted some automated way of generating submenu blocks. This should do it... http://drupal.org/project/submenutree. Though I haven't tried it yet.

Or check this thread http://drupal.org/node/200294#comment-657933, theme_menu_tree functioun which allows you to call your submenu.
