Hi,

Would appreciate some pointers on how to deal with this issue:

I have a Primary Link ('Offices') which has the following children: 'National offices'; 'Regional Offices'; 'Local Offices'.

Each of these children is a Views page (more specifically, a node teaser list of the relevant offices).

When I click on a child link (e.g., Regional offices) the relevant Views list page is displayed, and the parent primary link (Offices) the other child links above are still displayed.

However, when I click on one of the nodes on this page (i.e., an individual regional office) I lose the child links with only the parent remaining.

Where have I gone wrong?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Understand that a view is only one way of getting to a node.
When you are viewing a node, the page that linked to it is not taken into account. No one view 'owns' or is a parent of the pages it might happen to list.

But what you are hoping to happen seems to be intuative - until you consider what is supposed to happen to the menu if a node shows up in more than one view... Viewing a node directly - which is the 'parent' supposed to be?

Anyway, try menutrails.module to see if that helps.

I see what you mean.

And Menutrails fitted the bill.

Many thanks.
