How to print a custom menu in Drupal 7?

Question

I have created a menu in Drupal 7 and created links to pages under that menu.

I named my new menu "Site Menu"

In my page.tpl.php where I want my menu to appear I have put this in place:

<?php print theme('links', menu_navigation_links('menu-site-menu')); ?>

After I have cleared my cache and refreshed my page my menu doesn't appear.

I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Berdir answer is correct. Drupal 7 theme_links function also more vastly uses arrays. For example if you would like to add another class name to the so that it is you would code it like this:

<?php print theme('links', array('links' => menu_navigation_links('menu-site-menu'), 'attributes' => array('class'=> array('links', 'site-menu')) ));?>

Solution 2

theme() now recieves an array of arguments. For example:

<?php
print theme('links', array('links' => menu_navigation_links('menu-site-menu')));
?>

Thank you for you response. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem. I will investigate a little more. Thanks again.

Well, are you sure that your argument to menu_navigation_links() is correct and that it returns your menu? Try printing that directly with debug() or dpm() (if you have devel.module installed). See also api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--system--page.tpl.php/7/…, look for main-menu, that's how core is displaying the menu.
