How To Add Drop Down Menus To Your Navbar

- 4.60 average) I think everyone has encountered the situation at some point or other where their navbar has got very cluttered and they are faced with either adding yet another navbar, or adding some dropdown menus to group some items. This tutorial explains how to create an additional drop down menu in your navbar. Firstly, locate in your navbar template the first instace of
and add after it
Replace Custom Menu with the title for this menu which you want displayed on your navbar and custommenu with the name that you want to give your link. Note that spaces are not to be used as this will break the connection with the actual menu. Next, in your navbar template find
and add after it
Again replace custommenu with the name given to your link. Make sure that you leave the _menu after it as this identifies it as the menu part of the link. Also replace Custom Menu again with the title that you have used for your link. The content row should be replaced with the actual menu item that you want to have in your new drop down menu. Repeat the code
as required to add additional links onto your menu. If you wish to break your menu into sections like the quicklinks use then add
everywhere that you wish to add a new header. The content added should be in the normal html format for links. If you wish to add more than one menu, repeat the process for each one, ensuring that you use a different name for each menu otherwise they will not function correctly. I hope you find this useful.

So wait, what exactly do I put in the content area? Like if I wanted a link, I'd put:

Ah yes, thats what I meant
 .Okay, I got that, but it still isn't showing up on the navbar. Any ideas as to how I am messing up? And thanks for your time, I am not a technical guy.. I can see a link below the bar, but when I click it it just jumps to the top No members have liked this post.

You had put your first section in the wrong place. There are two instances of
and you have placed it after the second one, not the first one.

The last two stages in the tutorial post explain how to add additional links. If you need any help with it, just ask.
