  By definition, a 'standalone' page is one which will NOT appear in a menu. If I understand you correctly, you want the parent (level 1) and child (level 2) pages to appear in the drop-down (site) menu, but any grandchild (level 3) or deeper (level 4+) pages to NOT appear in the site menu, only in other navigation views. Is that correct?

  You appear to be using a variation of the 'Mega' menu view. Therefore, you need to set the view configuration settings for the module. Select the red 'Navigation (Global)' menu item above that menu and configure settings. In the 'Display Configuration Settings' area, set the 'Maximum Menu Depth' to 2. This will prevent the display of the level 3+ pages within that menu.

  HOWEVER, you'll probably want to change the style for the pages with children so they don't appear with the white background. There are two ways to do this:

  • create a new style for '.column .greybox' to replace the mega menu style
  • edit a line in a custom navigation showall_mega.tpl file and change the line ~line 72

    {if !$depth}<div class="col_1{if !empty($child->itemdata)} column greybox{/if}">{/if}
  

  to
  

   {if !$depth}<div class="col_1">{/if}

  Many thanks. I knew I'd seen a way to change the menu depth way back, but forgot and couldn't find in the docs - probably there but using the wrong search... Yes your assumption was correct, and I have now change that and created a customer showall_mega.tpl file as suggested. All I have to do now is to stop the child menu with grandchildren from displaying in a larger font.

  Ok, an even better fix...editing the custom view (this will be the code used in the next release)...same line ~72 and the next (only the first part displayed below)...Change
  

    {if !$depth}<div class="col_1{if !empty($child->itemdata)} column greybox{/if}">{/if}
      <div class="menuitem{if $config.usedesc && !empty($description)} desc{/if}{if !empty($child->itemdata)} menuheader{/if}"><a ...(remainder of line removed for posting)
  

  to
  

    {if !$depth}<div class="col_1{if !empty($child->itemdata) && $depth < $maxdepth} column greybox{/if}">{/if}
      <div class="menuitem{if $config.usedesc && !empty($description)} desc{/if}{if !empty($child->itemdata) && $depth < $maxdepth} menuheader{/if}"><a ...(remainder of line removed for posting)
  

  Note we've added a phrase to each line
  

  && $depth < $maxdepth
  

  after the code
  

  {if !empty($child->itemdata)
