Hi,

I am happily using AboutPeople theme on my NGO's website. But now there is a requirement that I have to use SuckerFish menus with this theme. Is it possible to do this ?

I tried modifying aboutpeople.info, template.php and page.template.php to accommodate Suckerfish Menus. The menus appeared in the header section but completely broke the theme. So I had to restore it back to the original.

Can you help me ?

Regards,

nnitin

mmm... I was sure that I had commented on this post before.

Anyway, for anyone looking to do this, there are at least two Drupal modules that I know of that help to do this:
Superfish and Nice Menus.

I've tried both of these, and they seem to work as advertised. Or if you want to modify the theme to do it, Google search for drupal+SuckerFish+OR+superfish shows many examples to try.

I see that nnitin mentions putting the menu in the 'Header' region. I can see that this could be a problem, and ideally you want to replace the menu in the 'Utilities' region, but it is not available in Blocks page at 'admin/build/block'.

You can make Utilities region available by adding the line:
regions[utilities] = Utilities to aboutpeople.info file, and <?php print $utilities ?> to page.tpl.php file.

I just found a nice simple article about modifying a theme to add Superfish menus:
