Hi there, this is the code I use in my dropdown menu:
You will see that I use "forumlink" 3 times in this code; you can call your link whatever you like, but it must be called the same in all 3 instances.
I have this as a separate template which is linked to my header. If you wanted it in the default header you would have this:
By adding more templates and linking to them then you can have a list across your header like mine.
I use the global templates plugin for this (I think you can do it with php in templates and template conditionals but I can't work that out). The global templates plugin does work with 1.6. Alternatively you can just put the code in from the first codeblock I posted where it says {$site_links} in the second codeblock.
I was typing - sadly, RateU closed the forum where his neat tutorial for this was posted - maybe he has a copy of it. He explains better than me.
Hmm, I should add that you can have multiple drop downs on the pages etc but each one must have its own name - so once you have used forumlink you cant use that one again. Call the next one helplink (use helplink in all three instances), then memberlink etc etc.
