I'm new to Drupal and making some changes to an exisiting site.
I have a page with a menu in the left side bar, which shows on all the pages in that menu apart from the one i've added. I've done it before where you have to add the URL of the page you want the menu to show somewhere in the admin panel for the menu to show.
If i go to: site building > blocks > block_name and then tick 'Users cannot control whether or not they see this block.' The menu wil show. But it will also show on pages I don't want it to.
Do you know where in the Admin I need to go to allow the menu to show on this new page.
Thanks in advance.
After hours of hunting around I've found the answer, the block has text box at the bottom of the page 'page specific settings' where you add the URL of the page you wish the block to show on.
You can use menu_block module.
It creates the menu inside a block and treats it EXACTLY like a block.
Hope this helps... Muhammad.

I relly need help. I made a wordpress website, but i dont know how to disable top page from drom down menu.
I want to turn off page "Apartmani" because it is a empty page, so can you tell me how to disable that page and when you want to click on it nothing happens.
Here s the picture http://www.dodaj.rs/f/t/13H/495kOjY8/pitanje.png so i want to unable "Apartmans".
Thanks
The easiest way for you do do this is not to add this "Apartmani" as a Page in your menu, but as a simple link (as you can add custom links in your menu), with "#" as target. As is you will have a menu item that will handle its sub-pages, but this item will not lead to anything at all as long as the targeted link is #...
I'm sure this is a very simple question, but I'm new to Drupal and haven't found a solution by the traditional methods of Googling and searching the Drupal home site, so please indulge me.
I've just installed Drupal 7 and am using the Bartik theme.
When I click Structure > Blocks there are a bunch of blocks at the bottom of the page which you can drag to a position corresponding to a region of the page template (Footer, Sidebar 1 etc).
However, when I assign a block to a region, whether by dragging, using the dropdown menu or using the configuration menu against the block, it does not save the assignation.
The block does not appear in the assigned region and when I return to the blocks page, those blocks are back at the bottom of the page, not assigned to a region.
The only blocks that I can make stick are ones that I create myself.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solution?
Thank you.

It sounds as if you didn't click "save blocks" after assigning a block to a region - did you? There is a button on the bottom of the page - just below the blocks.
I have recently started using Drupal but I am having a bit of difficulty editing some blocks. I've gone into the blocks admin menu and I can see a list of all of the different blocks being used and they have the configure option next to them.
If I click configure on some of them, on the next page I am given the 'edit block' box but on others the box doesn't show up (e.g. footer). How can I make the edit box show up or is there another way to edit them?
Thanks for any help.
1] visit this link http://drupal.org/project/block_edit and download module and install it on your site.
2] visit this link to apply setting admin/settings/block_edit.
What actually this module do?
It's provide a edit link on block itself where you are viewing it. Now clicking on edit link will redirect you to specific block edit page. This means need not to go deep inside and find block you want to edit.
Some modules, like the menu module, add blocks with auto-generated content that cannot be edited directly from the blocks admin page. Usually only content blocks added by yourself will have the edit block content option.
Footer will be a menu block, so there will be no editable area. If you want to make changes to the menu you'd need to edit the menu rather than the block.
I only want to show the pages that do not have parents, and link the other pages from their parent pages.
I want to have a simple main menu: Home | Pages | About | Contact
About 8 pages are linked from the Pages page. At the moment, the menu has 12 items, which deforms the layout pretty badly.
I have tried making the pages private, unpublished, and other options, but that doesn't seem to be the way to do it. Is there a way I can just have only parent pages linked in the main menu?
You can edit the menu (under the appearance tab in the dashboard). (you may need to add a new menu and assign it to the main navigation menu. It sounds like you have the defaulted menu set-up.
Once you've added a menu and assigned it to the main navigation, you can uncheck "automatically add top-level elements" or its equivalent, and add/remove menu items. You can also change their hierarchy (independent of actual page hierarchy).
It's all so easy these days. Just Go to appearance>menus>click the little triangle next to the listed page name>click remove> don't forget to save ... all done!
Maybe you didn't set up a custom menu yet. Set up a custom menu first with the desired pages / links. If it doesn't show on your site, check custom memus are enabled in your theme.. this will help you setting up a custom menu: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-custom-navigation-menus-in-wordpress-3-0-themes/
This might be a really simple thing but i was unable to find an answer to it. The issue is this:
I'm using Drupal 7, updated from Drupal 6. I have main menu to which i've assigned some pages. Whenever i edit one of those pages Drupal, for some reason, removes it from the menu links. Anyone ever had the same problem or would anyone have any ideas as to why it behaves this way?
Ok, let's try to rule some things out. You said that you assigned this menu to some pages. If you are viewing the page in view mode, then click edit, then save, you will be taken back to the view of that node. If you are viewing all of your content in the admin, then click edit by the node, then click save, you will be taken back to the list of content in the admin. Take a look where you assigned this menu to, AND/OR where you did not assign it to. Make sure you are not looking at a page where the menu was not assigned to.
You only needed to enable it from the settings - 'Provide a menu link'.
