Drupal 7 Theme, Dropdown Menu Example

Goal: Take existing content on the fully functioning Joomla! site and transition it to a drupal set up that is consistent with the parent university drupal theme

I have my localhost running #! and have a fully functioning site using Joomla! and a fresh install of drupal.

The university provides the drupal theme they use on their site and an example of a drop down menu they use on their Examples page. I have the theme installed and below is the code found on their example page.

<?php

$page['showNavbar'] = true;
$page['navbar'] = new Navigation(<<<EOHTML
<section>
    <section path="/item-1/" title="Item 1" showchildren="true">
        <section path="/item-1/sub-1/" title="Sub Item 1"/>
        <section path="/item-1/sub-2/" title="Sub Item 2"/>
    </section>
    <section path="/item-2/" title="Item 2" showchildren="true">
        <section path="/item-2/sub-1/" title="Sub Item 1"/>
        <section path="/item-2/sub-2/" title="Sub Item 2"/>
    </section>
</section>
EOHTML
);

?>

2 Questions:
1. Do I need a specific menu/menu type?
2. How do I use the code below to replicate their example menu?

Any help/pointers in the right direction would be great.

Re: Drupal 7 Theme, Dropdown Menu Example

sorry, I'm confused.  What is your end target.  Are you building out your own pages using the examples to work from, or are you extending off of the examples themselves.   

You have to look through the file structure at how they are implementing and using their code.  Drupal uses modules for implementing functions.  It looks like their calling a class for the navbar. 

Not sure if I'm giving you what you need or are looking for.   I'm sure there are other Drupal experts here, I don't have that much experience with it. 

Maybe clarify your question with some more detail.

Re: Drupal 7 Theme, Dropdown Menu Example

The drupal theme provided by the university is very minimal (or i dont understand whats going on). Im trying to mimick the menu they have on their example site.

Building my own site/pages with the same look/feel as their website.

Sample page:

Drupal theme:
