If you look at my site http://www.webdiscourse.comthe "Main Menu" is really long. How can I take out the "RSS -..." and put them in a seperate menu heading.

Thanks.

create a custom block with links to module. using the following will match your main menu:

<div class="blockContent">
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td id="mainmenu">
<a class="menuTop" href="{X_SITEURL}/modules/">your text</a>
<!-- start module menu loop -->
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}/modules">your text</a>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}/modules">your text</a>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table></div>

you can add as many links as you want. from sytem admin -> modules deactivate the modules you want to add to your custom block and manually link them there.

Thanks for this info. Do I create this "block" in the html file or in the Admin area "blocks"?

Thanks.

Can you look at my site and tell me what is wrong?
1. The new block is stretched. I don't want this to look like this.

2. When you click on the link, it say "Selected module does not exist!" I've solved this one, I can't uncheck the module in the Admin -> modules section. It will deactivate it. So, I left it checked and then just removed access to it in the "Groups". Is there another way around this?



Here is my code:

<div class="blockContent">
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td id="mainmenu">
<!-- start module menu loop -->
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_computers4i">Computers/Security</a>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_legal1">Legal</a>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_medical2">Medical</a>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_univ3">universities</a>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_xhld0">Mi
scellaneous</a>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table></div>

Ok, I've changed the code and now it is almost there. If you look at the "RSS Headlines", you'll see that the selections are spaced out. How do I get them to be close to each other?

CODE:

<div class="blockContent">
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="1">
<tr>
<td id="mainmenu">

<!-- start module menu loop -->
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_computer4/">Computers/Security</a><br>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_legal1/">Legal</a><br>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_medical2/">Medical</a><br>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_univ3/">Universities</a><br>
<a class="menuMain" href="{X_SITEURL}modules/rss_xhld0/">Miscellaneous</a>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
