I'm sure the answer to this question will be along the lines of "RTFM" and that's fine. I just need to know what FM to R.

I want to do one simple thing: I want to move the "Primary links" menu from its default position into the "Left sidebar" region. How can I do this? Where is this documented?

Thanks!
Jason

You can place the primary links block in the left sidebar at admin->build->block settings and position it accordingly. This block should be automatically created by the core menu module.

Then, depending on your theme, you should be able to disable the primary settings checkbox at admin->build->themes->configure->{yourtheme}

That worked perfectly. Thank you.

There's just one problem left: in addition to showing up in the left sidebar, the primary links menu is still showing up at the top of the page. Should I just use CSS to hide this or is there a better way to do it?

If disabling primary links on the theme configuration page doesn't work, then i'd say that using CSS to hide them is the best option.

[Edit]
Looks like i was misinformed in thinking that you could disable them that way... If you're comfortable finding the line in page.tpl.php in your template that outputs the primary links, and commenting it out, then you can do that, otherwise, stick with CSS.

I deleted the part of page.tpl.php that shows those links and that did the trick. Thanks!
