I created a page at /product/cell-phones/somebrand, then create a view at /product/cell-phones, and set the parent of view's menu(cell phones) to product, however, the menu is moved to under Navigation, and no cell phone menu is under product menu. However, if no set product page to other path(not including leading /product/cell-phones), the menu item is placed to right the place I set in view setting. It seems that view does not recognize product menu, so put the menu to navigation, the product is made by building/menu operation.

That is the expected behaviour. If you select "Normal menu item" in views, you have no possibility to set the parent menu item. Because of this the menu item is added in the level 1 of the selected menu.

You can move the menu item to its correct position in the menu module and it will stay in this position.

Thank you, I decide to use build menu to create these menus.

Hi, I have the same problem here.. I understand that I can move the menu items over at a later time, but that's extremely annoying, especially when one has lots of menu items..

Is there maybe a chance you could add the "parent item" selection to "normal menu item" option please? (Would be also great to have this when creating a new normal item for a "default tab") Thanks!

I guess no one is answering as it was closed before. However, it would be still cool if it was possible to select the parent item. Any hope?

Sorry, Drupal's menu system API does not allow parent selection except via the database, and Views cannot actually add entries to the menu links database. So this isn't something Views can do.
