[Solved] How to separate the Menu items?

Sneeosh

I'm trying to break the header menu into two groups. I would like the sign in/user data to be encased in its own html. Whats the best way to tackle this? Thanks in advance.

This is exactly what theming is for, I recommend basing your theme off of this theme. The theme uses our more themer-friendly smarty syntax in its default.master.tpl.

You can see that the menu in the file uses the code:

<ul id="Menu">
         {dashboard_link}
         {discussions_link}
         {activity_link}
         {inbox_link}
         {profile_link}
         {custom_menu}
         {signinout_link}
</ul>

Just seperate out the {inbox_link}, {profile_link}, and {signinout_link}.

Note that calling these tags will by default put them into <li>..</li> elements. If you don't want this you need to specify a format for the link like this:

{inbox_link format="<a href="%url" class="%class">%text</a>"}

It might be easier to do it via a theme.
But it might better future proof, to do it via a plugin and a event (if one does exists for that).

It depends if you just want that change or if you want to do heavy theming work.
