Hi

I have a few menu items as primary menu.
One of the items (Photos) has sub items.

For some reason I can see the sub items only when I'm viewing the Photos page.

What can be the reason?

You can see an image of the menu tree here: http://www.shaysstudio.ie/works/menu.png
You can see the problem at http://shaystestsite.com/

Thanks.

Shay.

Try this module: http://drupal.org/project/menutrails

Does this resolve your issue?

Thanks jrowny, but menutrails doesn't help.

Here are another 2 images to clarify the issue:

When I'm in the photos page and I hover over the photos button, sub menus open:

When I'm in the reviews page and I hover over the photos button, sum menu does NOT open:

Any ideas?

sorry, I misunderstood. have you tried selecting "expanded" for all the items in your menu?

What modules are you using to generate the drop-down menus

no modules. just defined a few menu items as children of Photos menu item.

Ok then I'm guessing you've done your own JS & php to laod from the db and build that dropdown of the defined children

In which case I'm guessing that code is only loading children of the active menu - what you need to do is either change your code to load the first level of children for all top level items or you could just consider using something like nice menus (http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/nice_menus) which might do most of the hard work for you.....though you'd done some of already

Thanks Chunty. I actually didn't write anything for the menus. Is it possible that the core 'menu' module is doing this?
All the best.

As far as I know of core does no javascript stuff to do hover over menu states - but there are various modules that do.
