Like the title says, my question is about how to add a view to a submenu directly. The reason i came up with this is because i will have alot of different views. These views must be ordered nicely, so it's user friendly.

I know i could add a view to a menu. But not a submenu. For instance:

Navigation menu:
-Home
-This
-That
-Projects
--Client 1
--- Project 1 client 1 <-- View1 must be here
--- Project 2 client 1 <-- View2 must be here
--Client 2
--- Project 1 client 2 <-- View3 must be here
--- Project 2 client 2 <-- View4 must be here
-Another link

etc...

The view pages contain news items and memos for that specific project. I did this with taxonomy and filtered it with the views module.

The ultimate goal is to let users make their own project page by cloning a view and then modifying it. Thats why i'd like to make it easier for them to add a view directly to a submenu instead of adding a view trough the menu options.

I hope i whas clear and that someone can help me with this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Aeroniro

By the way this is also good for the breadcrumb menu. Pages will be ordered correctly.

Also i looked trough the internet and the views documentation.. Couldn't find anything about this.

Normally what I do in this case is add the view to the primary menu & save. Then go to Admin » Menus » Primary Links (or name of your top menu). Drag the View's menu item to the place I want it & hit save.

The view should now be in the submenu. If you're using a module like Menu Breadcrumb, it should now be properly in the breadcrumb too.

All the best

Wow, sorry I didn't even read your post properly - what I said wasn't helpful at all! Def not an end-user approach.

Sorry!

it's oke. I appreciate any helpfull reactions on my posts.

The steps you described are those who I am using now. But that's indeed not really user friendly.

best option would be if someone clones a view. it will take all options, so they (the users) have to edit as little as possible (i.e. adding the view to submenu).

if i understand what your asking, views does this automatically
create a page display in views, under page settings set the url as the subdirectory you want i.e projects/client1/view1.

then under page settings > menu, normal menu entry, set the title and select navigation as the menu.

this will automatically put the relevant menus is. i.e

Navigation
-projects
--client1
---view1/menu title

then do your next view but set the url to projects/client1/view2 (or what ever the views called), add a new menu item the same as before. now you'll have

Navigation
-projects
--client1
---view1/menu title
---view2

I was just about to question your post, because it didn't work for me...

BUT it's because (for historical reasons) our menu is all jammed under Primary Links, rather than Navigation.

In my case, you'd have to do what anotherdave suggested.

(BTW, I think it's really clever the way that it would work under Navigation...)
