Showing sub menu items in another area/block

Posted by Danny_Joris on November 1, 2009 at 9:00pm

Hi all,

In my navigation menu there is one menu-item that has a few sub menu's. My menu is located in the left sidebar, but I want the sub menu items to be placed in the content area (or just above it) instead of keeping it under the parent menu item in the left sidebar. Is this possible?

My first idea would be that I would make a new menu consisting of the few sub menu items and place it as a block above the content area and show it only when the 'virtual parent menu item' is active.

But if I can do it with keeping the sub menu's in the original menu, that would be perfect.

Here is a visual example: http://dannyjoris.be/files/fora/sub-menus.png

Thanks in advance,
Danny

try the menu_block module, it can do exactly what you want.

http://drupal.org/project/menu_block should let you pull the submenu links from your primary menu. You'll still need to be able to place a block above the content, but you won't need to create a second menu.
