Ok i've done some searching and I think I understand how to do this, but I'm getting an empty array when I try and print out my custom menu.

Steps:
1. Went into the admin and created a new menu called Login_logout (it's pid is 99, i got that by hovering over it's edit link: http://domain.org/admin/build/menu/menu/edit/99 )
2. Added two menu items (Login and Logout)
3. Went into my page.tpl.php and added the following code

$pid = 99;  // This would be the menu id of one of your new menus.
$menu = menu_primary_links(1, $pid);
print_r( $menu ); // <-- this prints an empty array
print theme('links', $menu, array('class' => 'some_class')); // <-- this prints nothing

Any thoughts to what I'm doing wrong?

TIA

Hi msteudel, I copied and pasted your exact code just to reproduce your situation (only changing the pid) and it worked fine on my d5 install.

Thanks for checking! That helps me at least narrow things down.

Argh! Why does this stuff only work in 5.x and not 6.x?

Though a very newbie to D6 I found this to work ..just needs styling up using a class:

where :
"menu-myname" is the D6 name of the menu [ not a node or menu ID :-) ]
0 at the end of the call to menu_navigation_links is the default level, I suppose if you want to descend further you can (I didn't).
and "my-class" is the style to apply to the output.

<?php 
	$menu = menu_navigation_links('menu-myname', 0);
	print theme('links', $menu, array('class' => 'my-class')); 
?>

This code didn't quite work for me so i replaced theme('links') with theme_links().

$menu = menu_navigation_links('menu-submit-links');
$menu_attributes = array('class' => 'submit-links');
print theme_links($menu, $menu_attributes);

Works in D6.20

Hi all,

i've put together a tutorial on custom menus. I hope it helps a few people.
