Genesis Lesson 3 - Position Primary and Secondary Links
This video tutorial is specific to Genesis 6.x-1.2. The process for 6.x-2.x is exactly the same except the CSS file you need to edit is page.css located in your subthemes /css folder.
This tutorial show you how to easily position the primary and secondary links using the built in CSS snippets.
Genesis is a rapid development theme framework for the Drupal content management system.
Requirements
- A text editor - in the video I am using Dreamweaver 8 in code edit mode.
- Drupal 6 installed on your testing server. I use Wampserver on my localhost and have installed Drupal.
- Genesis theme framework must be uploaded to the server as well, all subthemes require the core framework as a dependency.
The basic steps
- Locate the primary and secondary CSS in the genesis_SUBTHEME.css file (around line 204).
- Uncomment the relevant snippet to position them either in the center or to the right.
See, I told you this would be easy:)

#1 Tabs
Would it be possible for you to show how to make tabs, such as sliding door tabbed primary menu?
#2 Absolutely
I am working on a demonstration theme for the long tutorials that we will build as a project. This includes tabbed navigation using sliding doors and CSS sprites. You will learn how to build the tabs, 2 methods of inserting HTML into the primary links (we need extra markup for IE) and how to get it all working with CSS. This will be a long video tutorial, and I will post all the files, snippets and images you need to get it working.
#3 Status?
Has this video tutorial been completed?
#4 I have 99% built the demo
I have 99% built the demo theme and have been scripting the videos, its been dragging out a bit due to work commitments. I do apologise for the delays, I’ll get there!
#5 superfish menus
How can I add superfish menus to this? Any help would be appreciated.
#6 Tutorial planned
I have a tutorial planned for adding Superfish menus (this will apply to any theme), but it does not use Primary menus but rather its own separate region & block template. Due to the time of the year this won’t be until after new year.
#7 Hi Jeff,
There isn’t an easy to follow procedure to add superfish menus to a theme on drupal org. Any time you want to proceed with the tutorial you should know you’ve got the audience..
#8 Superfish Menu
