Hi All,
I am new to drupal

For my project, I need to display different left menu for different pages.

I have a dropdown menu on header, If the user clicks any one of the links in dropdown menu, the left bar menu should change for each dropdowns.

Is it possible to display different left bar on different dropdowns.

Is anyone please guide me to fix the problem.

create menus in administer -> menus
when a new meu is created it automatically creates a block
place the newly created menu blocks in the left side bar
edit the blocks vibility to only show on the paths you want them to.

Hi VeryMisunderstood, Thanks

Hi VeryMisunderstood,
Thanks for your quick reply.

on my project
Header menu contains 5 items each items with 5 sub items on dropdown.
I want to display different left menu for 5 main items on header menu.

So, I need to create (5)different menus and assign all left sidebar on blocks.

Thats the option I offer. I know of no way to have primary menus, trigger a change in menu items that exist in a single block.

Hi VeryMisunderstood,

I created on new page and link the new page to the newly created menu.
On block setting I allow the menu to display on home page by <front>.
But the menu was not displayed on user end.
any other settings I have to apply.

Please help this to work

Without understanding how your front page is built, I don't know how much help I can be.

A link to the side may be benefical as well.
