Navigation tabs

Danny_Joris - October 25, 2009 - 19:23

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to add menu tabs like http://www.post.be/site/nl/residential/letters-cards/send/index.html . This website has 2 sub tab layers, but I only need one. Is this a matter of theming or are there modules for that? I've looked but could not find anything yet.

Thanks in advance.
Danny

Primary links & secondary links

Have you tried adding primary and secondary link entries in the menu system, and then styling those regions? That would be a good place to start.

Hmm, but I kinda want the first menu to trigger a row of submenu entries with ajax. So the first tabs dont have content, they just trigger the second row of menu options. Maybe my view on this is wrong. Maybe I just need a list of tabs that all refer to different menu types/content. I had the idea that the tabs had to be menu's them self, but maybe that's a wrong approach. I'll figure it out further...

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hmm, i know i'm being confusing here, but what i need is something like nice_menu's but then horizontally. And the 'drop down menu' should not disappear on a 'mouseout'. I'll check if nice menu's is tweakable.

The fourseasons theme has menus like that-- maybe you can take the styling and code from there.

Edit:
I think the framework theme has menus like that as well.

That's amazing. I feel that you know every little corner here on drupal.org. Your knowledge is incredible. :)

I'll take a look at them. These are exactly what I need.

Thanks very much.

hmm, interesting.

I looked at the html of the framework them and I saw that the menu's had classes that were called 'dynamic-persistent-menu'. I googled that and I foud this Drupal project: http://drupal.org/project/dynamic_persistent_menu . This is exactly what I need. I can't believe I didn't find that after an hour of searching. Of course, why didn't I think of googling 'dynamic persistant menu' before? :)

Thanks very much!!
Cheers,
Danny

on a sidenote: I've never seen a theme with an existing module embedded in it before...

on another sidenote: It's the closed to what I need, but it looks like it has quite some flaws and it's not highly maintained.
