Expanded Menu Items

txcrew - May 1, 2006 - 16:20

Hello Drupal Community,

My question is in regards to Drupal 4.7, menu.module and the gallery.module.

I have made a menu:

Parent Item
-- Child 1
-- Child 2

Where Child 2 is a link to a Gallery Album.

Here is my issue:

When I click into Parent Item it expands into Child 1 and Child 2, no problems here. When I click on Child 1, the link it self becomes active and nothing else changes as far as the expansion of the menu goes, again, no problems. However, when I click Child 2 (the link to Gallery.module) the menu folds up and you no longer see the Child Links under Parent Item, nor can you see the active link.

Since I am not really a programmer, I can only guess at what is happening here. Gallery is a seperate db than drupal, so the menu.module and gallery cannot connect that way?? Aside from selecting the option in the menu.module that keeps a menu always in its expanded state, is there a way around this?

Please let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks all,
-txcrew

Any Thoughts?

Well, I did some research and I found the advanced_menus module which allowed to adjust when menus expaned or collapse, etc. However, it still was not able to control when the menus expand and collapse on the gallery pages.

Any other suggestions that I try?
