Hi -

There are several menus that show up when you enable the various menus (like form_example, menu_example, etc.) Many of those modules do have a user interface.

You'll be best though to also pull up the code and look at it. It is code examples for developers.

Thanks for the note, and for reminding us of the never-ending battle to explain it better.

Setting to fixed, but feel free to respond again if you need more help than this.

Im still not seeing it. I enabled all the modules. Im also using the Administration Menu module and do not see any new menu entries. Can you give me the url to one of the pages?

Oh, you probably don't have the regular default navigation menu showing anywhere. You can go to admin/build/block and enable it for the left column.

Menus: examples/form_example examples/menu_example examples/page_example

etc.

Take a look at http://d6.drupalexamples.info

Bingo! Maybe you can add the same menu items to the admin menu. The demo site is helpful too, can that be listed in readme file.

I guess I don't think adding menus to the admin section is the right thing to do, but I'd love to have a patch from you improving the README, and other ideas you may have.

I also got caught with a disabled Navigation menu. Here's a more informative README as text and patch. Feel free to correct/modify/suggest. A --perhaps-- abbreviated version in the module page would help all first timers, me thinks. :)

Examples for Developers
http://drupal.org/project/examples

This set of modules is intended to provide small working examples of Drupal's features and APIs. The modules strive to be simple, well documented and modification friendly to help developers quickly learn their inner workings, with a little reading and hands on experience.

You can have a quick glimpse at the current Examples in the demo site: http://d6.drupalexamples.info/

Suggestions, corrections and new examples are welcome. Don't be shy if you're just starting, as precisely because of that you will know the questions and problems of a newcomer better than a seasoned developer!

Setup

1. Install Examples for Developers (unpacking it to your Drupal sites/all/modules directory if you're isntalling by hand, for example).
2. Enable any Example modules in Admin menu > Site building > Modules.
3. Rebuild access permissions if you are prompted to.
4. Profit! The examples will appear in your Navigation menu (on the left side bar by default; you'll need to reenable it if you removed it).

Now you can read the code and it's comments and see the result, experiment with it, and hopefully quickly grasp it's working.

If you find a problem, incorrect comment, obsolete or improper code or such, please let us know by creating a new issue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/examples

Thanks!

We could, of course, use the various APIs demonstrated here to force a custom menu block to appear on the screen, but I don't think that's as good as improving the help text here.
