You can choose between classic 1-level primary links or a Mega Drop Down menu. A mega drop down menu is a special kind of dropdown menu that uses an unique panel to show all the child links of a 1-level section. If want to use the megamenu, activate the setting and then go to "admin/structure/menu/manage/main-menu" to build the tree. Megamenu supports a 3-level hierarchy with a maximum number of four 2nd-level sections. You can add as many links as you want under each 2nd-level section. Drag the items to reflect a hierarchy like this Cameras (1st level item) - By Brand (2nd level item -> maximum 4 of these) -- Sony (3d level item -> unlimited) -- Canon -- Nikon -- Olympus - By category -- Reflex -- Point & Shot -- Medium Format -- Micro 4:3 - By Year -- 2010 -- 2009 -- 2008 -- 2007 Keep in mind that you can't use long labels for the 2nd-level items. 2) Alt class: If you want to open a panel on the left, simply choose the corresponding number in the combo box.
