Menu Block: Because Primary Links Sometimes Need to Have a Second or Third Level.
10.17.2008
File this little gem under damn useful.
The author pitched menu blocks better than I could:
So if you’re only using your theme’s Primary links feature, you can add and configure a “Primary links (levels 2+)” block. That block would appear once you were on one of the Primary links’ pages and would show the menu tree for the 2nd level (and deeper) of your Primary links menu and would expand as you traversed down the tree... Pretty simple, eh? (I’m actually shocked this module didn’t exist before.)

Breadcrumbs and Menu Block
1. I swear by this module. It's bitchin'. I used to use the other menu split module, but it gave the menu the same ID as the primary menu, making pages not XHTML compliant. This one is better anyway because it lets you select the number of levels that it will display.
2. To Hans: Get the menu breadcrumb module. It's a life-saver.
Local Menu?
This looks similar to Local Menu, I wonder how these two modules compare.
hmmm, yeah, looks like it
hmmm, yeah, looks like it does the same thing. (though I would have assumed "local" referred to local tasks).
Breadcrumb compatible?
Hello Nick,
Not sure if this was submitted correctly the first time (no acknowledgement), so trying again.
Timely article for me, as I've been thinking about how I might implement this, too.
Do you know if this module can be integrated with Drupal core's breadcrumbs?
Currently, when I click from the Home page to the About page, "About" will appear above the secondary menu, since it's also the menu title. "About" doesn't appear in the breadcrumb, however, which is actually ok, since it appears as the menu title; however, when I click on one of the secondary level menu items from the About page, "About" does not appear in the breadcrumb, which is a usability problem, since there's no way to get back to the About page without using the back button.
When it comes to my Drupal/PHP skills, I'm on the front end of the intermediate stage, so any hints are greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for the article!
