Hello all,

I'd like to know how I can have the block-menu use table tags to organize menu items in place of <ul> <li> tags for the "print $block->content" in Block.tpl.php file display menu blocks in tabular format.

I'm kinda new to drupal and would appreciate any assistance on this matter.

Thanks, Jun Dolor

No need to use table tags...

Hello all,

There's no need to use tables in displaying the block-menu content. To get the effect you want, you will need to exhaust all CSS possiblities. Fortunately CSS has been flexible enough to meet the design requirements.

Got your answer already?

Hi Jun D,

I think you want to have a "list" of items inside a block/menu. For that, you may want to use:

  • Views - for making dynamic lists out of your web content & create view blocks/menus instantly
  • Panels - to create "panelized" display of your content & be able to tweak them via CSS

The Views module will be very difficult to understand at first. However, after trying it you'll realize how functional it is. Make sure to watch videocasts before installing it just to reduce technical confusion. It takes at least 1 hour to learn.

I wish you get your answer and enjoy Drupal!
