Hey Guys
I need some help on how to put a sub-menu "if that the correct term for it" on my website. What I would like to do is add a button to the menu bar. When you mouse over it a sub-menu bar appears. Within this menu bar would be the listed inspection types that I offer. They can then click on what they are looking for.
I have read the articles on adding to the menu bar, blocks and stuff but I'm not sure about the sub-menu. Does adding a page apply to this? How do I accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
David

Hi David,
When selecting the parent menu while editing the page just select the menu you want to put it under. So if you had a menu item called Inspection Types then you'd select that as the parent when editing Pre-Inspections. Make sense?

Hi Dom,
That makes sense but when I think about the hole process of creating what I'm trying to do I get lost. I would first create a block "for content" for each item offered. In the parent menu I would type in "inspection types" or "services offered". Now to seperate them further by type: seller/buyer/radon and so on, were do I to do that?
Thanks
David

If you're just adding menu items you should not be working with blocks at all.

Hi Dom,
I figured out what you were saying about the "parent menu" for making a "sub menu". I'm having a problem with the main menu. When I first created the tab for "Inspection Types" everything was ok. Then I started playing with the sub menus and "whammo" the main tab went south. It only shows up when I'm logged in. For the life of me I can't figure out the path. I tried everything I could think of but nadda, zip. So I left the path set at "node/add". It was the only thing that would be valid "even though it takes me into my blog page. LOL Please have a look at or let me know the path. Once I figure this out, I can rest done.
Thanks Amego,
David

Hi David ,
Regarding the missing homepage. This means that your home page URL and the field under Site Information where you tell the site what the homepage is, haven't been updated.
To correct this, click Home in your navigation menu, then click Edit. Go to the bottom of the screen and copy the text in the field "URL path settings." The is the URL of your home page (change it now and copy it if you don't like it). Then click on Site Information in your Admin Menu and paste the URL you copied into the "Default front page" field.

Hi Dom, thanks for getting back to me. My home page is ok. The tab I created dosnt show up when I'm log out. I beleave it's because I couldn't figure out the path for it when I created it. So if I go to the home page edit and copy the URL at the bottom and past it in the path setting for "inspection types" that would work? I'm going to give it a try now.
Thanks,
David

Yes, that should work fine.
