Hi..
We want to define the mainnav block inside the header block.

How do we do that ?

Copy the block you want the main nave to be in from plugins>system>jat3>base-themes>default>blocks>yourblock and place it in the templates blocks directory. You will then need to add the following in the new code where you want the menu.

[PHP]<?php if (($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) $jamenu->genMenu (); ?>
<!– jdoc:include type=”menu” level=”0″ / –>
<?php if ($this->hasSubmenu() && ($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) : ?>
<div id=”ja-subnav” class=”clearfix”>
<?php $jamenu->genMenu (1); ?>
<!– jdoc:include type=”menu” level=”1″ / –>
</div>
<?php endif;?>
<ul class=”no-display”>
<li><a href=”<?php echo $this->getCurrentURL();?>#ja-content” title=”<?php echo JText::_(“Skip to content”);?>”><?php echo JText::_(“Skip to content”);?></a></li>
</ul>[/PHP]

You need to perform the override as I suggested above.

Ok, I dont have to touch blocks .
All I did was paste the menu code in header.php of my theme and it worked fine.

So, no relationship with layout block for menu ?

And In blocks folder on plugins folder, I see the php files only.

So, where are the blocks xml defined ?

And how can I override them on my templates ?

I mean the xml files, where we define position of the blocks, like we do in Magento.
