Great theme! But how can I display children menu in secondary menu? I've tried both as normal or expanded but there is no way to show them!
Thanks in advance!

If you want the children of a primary link (menu) item to show up *after* you've clicked on the specific item, follow the steps in http://drupal.org/node/263438

From my D6 installation:
Administer / Site building / Menus / Menus --> Settings tab

..
Source for the secondary links:
[Primary links]

"Select what should be displayed as the secondary links. You can choose the same menu for secondary links as for primary links (currently Primary links). If you do this, the children of the active primary menu link will be displayed as secondary links."

The latter text is what we want! It took me hours to find the support page that told me how to. It happened to be in the "» Forum » Support » Post installation" and said Drupal 5.x.

I think that in general it is a problem that a new user has no idea where to find support that works for the (especially new) version he is using.

If any of the above doesn't make sense bare with me, because I am new to Drupal. ;)

Hope this helps!

Thank you Pok and thanks to the developers of the excellent Marinelli theme.

Issue http://drupal.org/node/263438 was exactly what I needed. Thanks again for the research and time to post. I would have never looked in 5.x.

I too am new to Drupal. I mean **really** new, having installed and test-configured only one other theme besides the default. Marinelli, I am using 'for real.'

Don't laugh, but I spent an hour trying to figure out where to 'turn on' the 'home' for primary navigation in Marinelli. (I know, banner gets you home, but most users wouldn't click there.)

For those who may be in the same boat:
1) Administer>Site Building>Menus>Primary Links
2) Add a menu item 'Home'
3) set as the path and parent item set to primary
4) Drag to the top (I had to go back and weight it at '0' before it would show.)
4) Was then able to assign (selected) secondary content to 'home' as the parent.

Orange bar is always showing secondary content related to primary tab clicked. A happy camper!

I don't see difference between 'normal' or 'expanded' but will add more content and report back if it makes sense to.
