Menu question

Ok what i missing here lol. I would like to remove photos from the main nav menu but leave the sub meny items in there if page is accessed via profile photos etc. . Similar to the nav items that are red in the nav builder in admin panel . anyone have a clue ?

Not possible with the navigation menu builder.  I don't know about any of the menu builders in the Market.

If I was going to try this, I would look at doing it in the templates doing a bit of trickery, or doing in in the code that builds the menu doing a bit of trickery.  Actually, I don't think you could do it through the templates; so look at the php code that builds the menu.

In order for the items to be in the submenu, they have to be in the main menu; the submenu builds from the main menu.

You maybe able to hide the submenus using CSS by making the submenus transparent on the menu bar but not the profile. GG is right that the submenus must be listed under the main menus to be listed in the subpages. Deano was going to work on a program that may solve this issue. Not sure if he has had a chance.

I did a similar thing with the Live Video menu and just moved the items I did not want to the "All Items" area and the users access the live video from a link I add to my events.

i want sub menu items to all show , I just dont want photos menu_item in main nav menu

Ok I got it . In the data base sys_menu_top changed top to system now photos is not a top menu item but i still have the sub menu on photo page . see pics . just wanted to post solution in case some else needs it. almost forgot to mention..Clear cache and recompile languages for photo module

Cool thanks for the solution as I am trying to do the same. 

I am a little confused as to the steps you went through to make it happen. Would you be able to explain, for example where is the sys_menu_top database set?

you can just drag the block for the menu to the My Profile or Profile View columns (the ones in red) in the Navigation builder. If you drag to My Profile, then only you see this when looking at your own profile. If you drag it to Profile View column, then it is visible when others view your profile. So, basically, if you only want users to see your pics when they are looking at your profile page, and not have any other nav links to pics, then drag to the Profile View column.

If you are looking for more than that, do a search here in the forums. This was brought up before and Deano wrote a workaround for it.

 First of all in order to not have the links show in top menu but still show in the sub menus you have to find them in the data base sys_menu_top  edit type from top to custom . You can get there through your php admin in c-panel ( assumming you have cpanel here lol ) let me know.

 I answered your pm dean. If need be and this is still not clear you can call me if you are in the USA and I will walk you through this. I am home 24-7 ) its too cold to go out lol .

oops top to system as i did say earlier sorry about that

I really need a way to restore the original menu structure so I can start the menu process again :(

Thanks jksurf and everyone for your assistance with this. I managed to screw up my menu but with some persistence and great advice from the community I now have it working exactly the way I need. 

Glad to hear it.
