newbie.... ;-(

Installed OK, added some modules and content, but apparently can't get nested menus to work. Am using bluemarine theme. Have two levels nested under primary links; in each case, linked to a parent, enabled and expanded (except for the lowest level). But can't see a drop down on the menus and don't see further menus of any sort on the first level page I navigate to.

am I missing something obvious here?

thanks

From my limited use of menus, you will see the first level on your home page, but if yoiu want to see the next level you have to click on one of the top level menu options. If you want live menus that display children of a parent when you hover over a parent, you will need something like DHTML menu.

You can fine different menu options in the site navigation section. http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/124

Thanks for the suggestion; clicking on the top level takes me to the linked page but there's no way to go any further. I installed DHTML menu and it still behaves the same - no children are displayed on hover-over.

The hierarchy is very clear in admin>site building>menus>primary links, but I can't find the children on the site

In your theme you have only promary and secondary links. Under primary links you hang all the top level categories of your site. Attached to each of these is your secondary links. Here you place the next level for each top level item. From that point on you need to use something like menu block split you can only show the first two level (primary and secondary). The secondary menu should show up if you set up the menu setting properly. Secondary menu should be set to primary menu I think. Secondary links should be below the primary links in the header section of the page. To show the third level you will need another module to display them Something like menu block split. then you use the blocks to place the third level where you want.

you're right about secondaries using primaries as source.

I wanted more levels though so I loaded nice menus and, for now, that's good enough.

thanks again
