Replace Primary Links with Minipanels-Menu

Hello everybody,

I could figure out how to display the dropdown menu with the mini-panels - I had to clear the cache AND run the cron job. Maybe this helps others.

It turns out, that the README.txt file is not extensive enough - at least for me. I have set up four links as first level of the primary menu. Then I have set up other menus to display as mega menu instead of the second level. I've combined three of them in the three columns layout as mini-panel. So in order to relate them to the first level I've made the following adjustments (see screenshot).

Where am I going wrong now?

This code is displayed in the header, so I assume the module is implemented correctly.

In the body tag though you can only find the first level of the menu and not the mini-panel.

<div id="primary-left" class="withsearch">
		  <div id="primary-right"><div id="primary">
          <ul class="menu"><li class="leaf first active-trail"><a href="/" title="

" class="active"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li class="leaf"><a href="/the-collection.htm" title="The Collection"><span>The Collection</span></a></li>

<li class="expanded"><a href="/your-club.htm" title="Your Club"><span>Your Club</span></a><ul class="menu"><li class="leaf first"><a href="/membership.htm" title="Membership"><span>Membership</span></a></li>

Maybe this helps to solve the issue.

1. I am developing it on a local machine. If you are using TeamViewer we can make up an appointment for you to test it, if you think this is really necessary.

2. Okay, I did not specify it clearly enough. Sorry.

• I have a primary menu with the following first level links: HOME; THE COLLECTION; YOUR CLUB; LEGAL ISSUES; OUR STORES.
• I set up three new menus called: THE HISTORY; COLLECTION CATEGORIES; FORMER EXHIBITS.
• I then set up a mini-panel called THE COLLECTIONS with the machine name COLLECTIONS (small letters only).
• I've chosen a three column layout (33/34/33) and placed the three new menus into this structure (one menu for each column).
• I then opened the primary menu again and chose the menu item THE COLLECTION.
• I kept the path as it was and additionally now chose the mini-panel called THE COLLECTIONS and chose the settings as attached below. (Made screenshots this time, so all settings are displayed; use different admin theme than default theme.) In case it is necessary to know this: I am using FEVER from ANTSIN as default theme where the primary-menu is already implemented into the page.tpl.php.

3. So far there is only one option that I can choose, as I only created this one mini-panel.

I just found out, that it is obviously a theme related problem... I checked it out with my administration theme, here the menu is shown. So I wonder where I need to change something.....

Hello,
I've tried this, but it was already set properly. Unfortunately still couldn't get it to work. This site is now set up except for this - most important - feature and I start to panic a little bit.

Maybe the problem is located in the template.php, but my knowledge is not good enough to figure it out. I already contacted the theme creator, but don't get any support there. So I am bothering you again. Please forgive me.
