Hi,

Sorry for posting on such a basic thing, I begin to have some experience in drupal but this just doesn't work !

1. My theme supports secondary links (Garland), I have just 2 modules installed...

2. I created a content type ("Platform"), for which each item has "primary links" for parent. I've created another content type ("Games") for which each item has a specific item of "Platform" for parent.

3. So when I go to Menu>Primary Links, I have a nice tree automatically created.

4. Then I go to Menu>Settings and put "Primary links" in both "Primary Links" and "Secondary Links", so I can have "the children of the active primary menu link will be displayed as secondary links".

5. I move the block "Secundary Links" to the Right Sidebar (which works fine).

6. When I click on an item of the Primary Links menu, the children just don't show up in the Secondary Links menu (which is even just not displayed at all).

I tried everything (creating a whole menu from scratch, expand everything, don't put the homepage as the link in the primary links as it is said here : http://drupal.org/node/101904 , ...)

Is it just not possible to do that ???

Many thanks for your help, it must be something simple but I'm really stuck !

I am having a similar issue that is limited to secondary links not appearing on the designated front page.
The secondary links (which are nested primarily links) show up on any other page

hope there is a solution!

I have same issue, using Zen. Have tried everything but no joy.

Almost same thing here, Drupal 6.13, fresh install. I say "almost" because I can see secondary links corresponding to first primary link only. I have also configured "Primary links" as primary + secondary in order to have something similar to a menu bar.
Current configuration for Primary links is:

  • Option 1
    • Option 1.1
    • Option 1.2
  • Option 2
    • Option 2.1
    • Option 2.2

When entering front page, primary menu displays correctly. Then I click on Option 1 and secondary links are displayed correctly (Options 1.1 and 1.2). So far, so good.

Then I click on Option 2, and secondary links keep showing up Option 1.1 and 1.2 (instead of 2.1 and 2.2).

Nevermind. It's solved. I had all menu options pointing to the same path (node). I created dummy pages and each menu option points to a different location now (node/1, node/2 ...). It's working now.

I have same thing.

* Garlard configured to show both prim and sec.
* a primary links menu with some childrem menu items
* menu settings set to show prim for both prim and sec

Secondary links not showing.

Also, I noticed that even in the "primary links" block, the parent menu item doesn't expand when viewing the child. It'll only expand when forced by the parent menu item being set to "expanded".

Umm... im not sure that this is *right* but...

Setting the parent menu item to "expanded" results the "primary links" block showing the parent items constantly expanded, but the theme's secondary links showing up when viewing one of the child pages.

This is sub-optimal as 1) it forces expanded in block when this is not really wanted, and 2) we also need to secondary links to show up when the parent item itself is being viewed.

Anyway, that's all I've come up with so far.

Sorry for the deluge... but I've fixed and broke it five times trying to deduce the patterns of what is not working and thought I'd add another note here.

At this point, I have two of three child menu items that cause the parent to expand properly (and thus show the secondary links) but I can't figure out the difference between them. They are all pointing to different displays of the same view. I have tested both creating the menu items within the displays as well as straight via the menu system.
