Hello,

I installed the T3 framework quickstart for 1.7 today, and I am having a bit of trouble figuring out the module positioning for the main menu that comes pre-installed with the sample data. index.php?tp=1 tells me that the main menu does not have a module position… how then can I disable/remove it or place it elsewhere in the layout? I have tried disabling all “menu”-related modules, and it had no effect.

Thanks!

So you’ve checked through your Module Manager for a module called “Main Menu?”

Are you referring to a vertical “main menu” in the left or right column, or the horizontal “main menu” across the top of the site?

The horizontal menu across the top is the one I am referring to.

Yes, I do have a module called Main Menu. However, nothing happens when I publish/unpublish it, delete it, change its module position, etc. Its module position is menuload, which was its default position.

Now, on a separate website, I am having the opposite issue… I cannot get that menu to show up at all, even though it is set up in the same module position. It was there at first, but I deleted a few extraneous modules from the initial install and apparently one of those broke the top nav.

Lastly, I have “Enable Dev Mode” marked as “yes”… I was thinking it might be a cache issue, but that didn’t make any difference.

Any ideas?

Okay … now I understand . . .

The main horizontal navigation menu is not a module – it’s situated within the php code. You can disable it via your Menu Manager, but you also need to understand that you have to have a “default” menu item in one of your active menus that points to the front/home page.

If you do not want the main horizontal menu, a way to get around this is assign a “home” menu item to the menu assigned to the footer area, and assign that item as the “default” menu item. (I’ve done this in several templates I’ve worked with).

Does that help at all?

That does actually help a lot. I was not able to get the horizontal nav to disappear altogether, but I did learn a bit about where it is controlled (Template>Profiles>Menu Type). It makes me miss the old purity’s hornav position. 😉 I suppose I can always to a “display:none” for the horizontal nav in the CSS…

Which php file is that nav bar located within?
