hi
Version Drupal 5.0
ive been try in to figure out a way of creating your standard website menu described as follows:
A horizontal menu across the top of the site with titles such as Home, About Us, Services, Clients, Contact Us
I would like to click into one of these menu titles (eg, Services) and have a vertical menu that contains further menu items that correspond to the 'Services' horizontal menu title, (for example: web design, SEO, Flash, 3D Animation) show up in the Left Sidebar
This doesnt appear to exist, and searching through the forums i am alarmed to see that other users are stating that Drupal fails to achieve this basic navigational functionality that is used on sites the world over as it is generally considered to be the best navigational structure possible, certainly for larger sites.
I have found some work arounds using Blocks, whereby you assign the corresponding 'vertical' menu to the 'left sidebar' whilst in Administer >> Site Building >> Blocks and then configure the 'Block' to only show up on the pages that it applies to like this:
1. Create Primary Link menu: Home, About Us, Services, Clients, Contact Us
2. Using the 'Services' Primary Link as an example, create a 'page' (Create Content) called 'services' and link to it from the 'Settings' Primary Link
