Another great introductory screencast,

Thank you for sharing :-)

I've been looking for some way of doing this and kept coming up empty. I can't believe I completely overlooked that small paragraph of text saying why you'd want to link primary / secondary links.

Thanks, great work!

Loved this trick. Thank you for that nugget. But why oh why isn't the breadcrumb feature "activating" both the "section" and the "secondary page" -- you know, like tabs and secondary links.

I've had to use modules to force Drupal 6 to really make the breadcrumbs work, and still they don't always work.

Thanks for any more help you give and thanks for the fabulous screencast.

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I'm new to Drupal and overlooked this as well. You do a great job of getting to the short and sweet of it without skipping over the layout aspect!

As a teacher a really appreciate the clear and concise instructions you give.

This is very interesting, I always wanted know, how to construct something like a "Cross-Over"-Navigation in Drupal. That means: you have a main-navigation at the top of the page and a sub-navigation in one of the side-bars.

Since this kind of cross-over-navigation is very often used on web-sites, there should be the possibility in Drupal to configure it automatically.

But your solution comes very near to that, what I wanted to know.
With one exception: if the secondary menu is moved to the left-side-bar it seems to me(probably there is still something what I'm doing wrong!), that only the first level of the navigation is shown. If this menu has some more sub-menues they are not shown.

Another hint: If you are trying to make the changes within in the Garland-theme and the secondary menue is moved to the left-side-bar it gets the same color as the background. This means it eventually becomes invisible! So be sure to change not only the list-styles but also the color in the appropriate css-class.

Thanks for the great tutorial! You have a nice way of explaining things to newbies - so that it makes sense.

I have found a way around the bug.
The Bug: If the top level menu items points to the users profile (path = user), the secondary menu items won't display

The resolution. Point your top menu item to "user/%", and the secondary menu shows!

wow! that has saved me so much time. Thank you very much! xx

Sorry to go against the grain here but once again Drupal has stumped me even with this clearly presented vid.

I have a fresh clean install of Garland theme 6.10 and the EXACT same set up as on the vid yet the secondary links do not show up!

I'm thinking its a theme config issue I'm missing out on (like how the Search box doesn't appear by default) but I cannot see anything obvious. Else the other thing it may be is what my menus link to- currently they are pointing to pages within the site. Perhaps I need to set up blocks in a certain way. Taxonomy maybe? I have tried various things but none of them seem to work.

There are no prerequisites at the start and I'm guessing I don't have to code anything....Any suggestions anyone?

I'm having a horrible time implementing the secondary links as a child of primary. I've tried many different themes none of which worked. Secondary links will only be displaying as children of primary in an unordered list. I can't move the php sinipet around and have any effect at all. Are there any addons require to get this to work?

feel free to see for your self.

jeff, Your solution was exactly what I needed. I'm not sure why the standard way of doing it wouldn't work for me, probably a server issue, but regardless Menu Block did the same thing. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me about it.
