With over 1,000 menu items and growing, I am running into performance issues and the javascript appears to have begun to overload browsers as well. Therefore I need to break the menu system into a main menu that points to the 6 cities we cover deeply, with local content in a sidebar menu.
On the template example, it looks like the main menu is simply duplicated in the Right module position.
(ISSUE #1) WILL THIS NOT CAUSE AN SEO PENALTY BECAUSE OF DUPLICATE CONTENT?
I want my main menu in the Toolbar module position to refer to the cities Buenos Aires, New York, Paris, Berlin, etc. But I need local content sidemenus to start with the city name for clarity and to avoid duplicate URLS because each city has similar submenu items.
So I have a possible situation where say the top Paris menu = /Paris.html and the top of the sidebar menu also = /Paris.html
Hence the possible duplicate content SEO penalty. Is this a problem or not?
(ISSUE #2) HOW DO YOU MAKE THE SIDEMENU CASCADE OPEN AND CLOSED LIKE IN THE TEMPLATE EXAMPLE?
I can get the sidebar menu to work if I force the sub menus to remain open using the "Always show sub-menu items" module parameter, but I would like the menu to cascade open and closed. It appears that the open/close cascading only works when the sidemenu duplicates the Toolbar menu.
