Hi Connie,

Regarding the secondary links, do you have suckerfish menus turned on?

I've got suckerfish turned on and am applying the patch. Thanks xtyz. I'll report back on my progress.

HI,

The patched worked for allowing me to use suckerfish for one of the three menus. Thanks for that!
However, that wasn't my original problem. It seems that there is no place built into the theme for a secondary menu or for search box. When I try to put the secondary menu in the header, it displays vertically instead of horizontally. I've put the search box in the header and it works okay there, but was thinking it was built into the theme.

As an aside, wWith suckerfish working, I've been able to use EITHER the primary menu OR the secondary menu in the theme's primary menu place.

Great theme. I cant get the search box to appear in version 5, right from a clean install. Any ideas anyone?

As far as I understood it it does not come with a built in search input field at all, even though the settings page has a flag for it. I filed a bug report on this.

I dropped using this theme after a while as the theme seems pretty much unmaintained and I did not find it as configurable as it claimed to be (on its project page). Especially I lacked any updated documentation for 6.x and also any sort of comments in the source code. Instead I switched to the Zen theme, which seems to be the perfect theme to start off from.

Follow up: That said, you can always either try to contact the maintainer if you'd like to co-maintain or take over the project or create a fork. There are a few patches lying around that can be applied to the 6.x source code.

Also, instead of having a search box on the top of the page you can always solve this issue putting the search block in the left/right region.
