Hi there!

I've been looking around for a while, and can't find a dummy-level explanation on how to do this. Something very similar was mentioned briefly here: http://drupal.org/node/127639

basically I've added a new menu to drupal called "new links". I've added the following to my page.tpl.php:

<?php if (isset($new_links)) : ?>
   <?php print theme('links', $new_links, array('class' => 'links new-links')) ?>
<?php endif; ?>

What code do I need to add to template.php to allow page.tpl.php to recognize this new variable?

I found an article talking a little about this subject, but it was for D5. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have to retrieve the menu to do it in this way

$new_links = menu_navigation_links('new_links');

print theme('links', $new_links, array('class' => 'links new-links'))

Thank you Matt, this worked, with a little finessing.

And for anyone else out there interested in doing this, when filling in the menu_navigation_links('your-new-menu') andarray('class' => 'links your-new-menu') pay attention to the menu name that Drupal gives your new menu, 'cause its not the same as the one you gave it, not even the machine-readable version. For instance if you make a new menu and give it the machine-readable name "new-menu" and title it "New Menu", Drupal names it "menu-new-menu." this is the name you'll have to put into the menu_navigation_links().
