Drupal 7 Menu Parent module alternative

Question

I am currently using the Node Collection module to handle parent child relationships on my site. This module creates a menu in the form [parent , child-1, child-2 ... child-n] is there a way for me to attach this menu to an item in the main menu in drupal 7? And if so would this work with the Menu Firstchild modules?

Answer 1

The menu system in drupal 7 isn't very good.

Instead of forcing node collection on the main menu i suggest you don't use the main menu block.

Use a node collection block, if exist, or create your own custom block using hook_block_info & hook_block_view.
