i know, i'm new to drupal.

wanted to know if i'm just missing how to get to the subitems in my primary links buttons. at first i figured they would just pop out in the 'secondary links' bar, but after doing some research it doesn't seem like that's the function of the secondary links bar (or is there a way to make that happen?).

ideally they would drop down when you mouse over each main primary link category. is there a way to make that happen or am i off to figure out how to do it on the css sheet?
thanks!

now i feel guilty for posting this here in my desperate moment. hopefully i can help someone else out.

for anyone else looking for a solution, here's what i've done.

install the mod - nice menus

open page.tpl.php (be warned, there are 3 of these, so pick the one you're working with depending on your column set)

replace the commented out line with the one for nice menus:

<?php print '<div id="plinks">'; ?>
<?php print theme('nice_menu_primary_links'); ?> 

<!--<?php print theme('links', $primary_links, array('class' => 'links primary-links')) ?>
-->

<?php print '</div>'; ?>

in administer/themes/configure create a link to a CSS file you're about to make: (themes/aboutpeople/nicemenus.css)

copy modules/nice_menus/nice_menus_default.css to the themes/aboutpeople/ and rename it.

mess around with this file and your style.css file until you get the desired result (i've attached mine to be helpful, but i'm not a css master).

good luck! thanks for such an awesome theme!!!

Sorry my first response was not what I meant to say. sometimes I'm not with it for some reason...and Drupals not letting me edit my message, hmm, What I meant to ask was:

When you add a menu to the header block, the aboutpeople theme creates duplicate menus, one in the orange bar, and one in the black space above the orange bar.. which menu does this edit? thanks

Has anyone figured out how to do this with secondary links? I'm rather new to php - I've tried the above but there is no region for the secondary links... I think I need to create a new region?

I figured out how to get the secondary links menu to drop down... not pretty but it works. since there's no "nice_menu_secondary_links" - I placed the 'nice_menu_primary_links' which calls the nice menu block... in the submenu section... this is what it looks like in the page.tpl file:

if (($secondary_links)) :
print '<div id="submenu">'
print theme('nice_menu_primary_links');
print '</div><div class="stopfloat"></div>'
endif;

The 'Primary Menu' items now go where the secondary menu is. I wanted this layout with the drop down menu below the header picture.

oops.. still learning how to post here:

       <?php if (($secondary_links)) : ?>
      <?php print '<div id="submenu">' ?>
          <?php print theme('nice_menu_primary_links'); ?>
          <?php print '</div><div class="stopfloat"></div>' ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

I tried to do this for my primary links and it didn't work. How do I know which page.tpl.php file to change? I've tried all 3 one at a time. 2 do nothing and one gives an error. Any suggestions would be much appreciated...
