I have created a Spacer module and applied placeholder settings accordingly. I want to add this module on top of existing one so I clicked on Component button display in top ribbon menu.Then Clicked on Add here. This module is added on top of one existing one But when I clicked on Save button and on page load this Space module move down to below existing one. Couldn't understand why?
Even it's working fine in English(en) version but having this issue in french version of website.
I have implemented following for Dynamic Placeholder Click here
Thanks
I have tried everything but I can't get the dropdown menu to work with yootheme katana template for joomla 2.5. Everything is set up right in module preferences, and the menus work fine with other yootheme temlpates. Any ideas? Thank you.
You should ask them for support and let them check your site, but there is a small hack that worked for me several times while Joomla 3 was recently launched.
Go to your Joomla Administration Panel --> Extensions --> Module Manager, then click on your Main Menu or the menu that is having trouble, when it is opened go to Advanced, look for Menu Class Suffix and add this text "nav-pills" or in some cases leave a blank space before " nav-pills". See if that helps
I'm relatively new to Joomla and I'm updating a web site from 1.5 to 3.x. Everything seemed to go fine except that the template in the previous version was showing a dynamic drop down menu that displayed each article organized by category.
I was wondering how I can show this menu. The code in the template is:
<div id="moomenuE"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" style="topmenu" /><br /></div>
so I get that the position would be 'user3' but I can't seem to find a way to display such a menu. There were NO Menu's or Menu Items in the Menu Manager from the previous version so I'm not sure if I need to create one for the 3.0 version.
I don't know the previous version, but maybe the menu was hardcoded. In Joomla 3.0 you just need to create a menu and some menu entries (worked in previous versions too). After doing so you have to add a module (Extensions -> Module Manager). The position of the module is "user3" in your case.Now only choose the menu and click save. The menu is now shown in the module placed at the specific position.

I've just had my website migrated from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5, however, I am struggling with the menus. This might be because of my choice of template.
The website is using the bizglobal 1.7 template. The problem is the top menu: I can set up various menus and submenus, but I want all the menu items to be available. For example, if I select the first top level item then all the ones below are immediately available. But the remaining top level items don't show their children unless I click on the parent menu item - whereupon the original children don't drop down. Pictures are better than words, so please have a look at http://www.simsig.co.uk with the green top menu (currently SimSig and Forum).
Many thanks.
In the module manager look for the module that's displaying your main menu, it should be type menu.
Is the show sub items marked to yes?
I'm making my own Joomla template, but when I check menu manager, it seems to be very confusing, because there are a lot of choices. I just need simple menu linking to my sites pages. So I need to know:
1) What kind of tag I need to insert to my template, so that it can show menus.
2) How can I link to pages on my site with that menu manager.
So, here's the five minute whirlwind tour of Joomla: You have Components, Modules, and Plugins.
Menu items link to components. This means that components are effectively "pages" in Joomla. So, you want a page to list a bunch of articles, for example? Create a menu item, and when you're asked to set it's "type" pick one the "articles" entries. Boom; you've just linked to a component.
Now, modules are odd bits and pieces of code that sit around components. Remember, the component is the "page" for all intents and purposes; modules are sidebar elements, "Related Articles" widgets and the like.
To create a new module, go to Extensions -> Module Manager and add one. Now, you can create a module that lists a batch of menu pages.
Lastly, you need someplace to put your modules on the page. The "template tag" if you're coming from Wordpres, is "". Drop that in your template on the sidebar, and change the name (the bit in parenthesis), to something like "sidebar".
Now, if you go back to the module manager, click your "Menu" widget, you should see a dropdown on the left where you can select the "position" the module should sit in. Select (or type in) "sidebar", and now that menu will be dropped into the page whereever you've placed your tag.
I would suggest you to go through the joomla 1.5 quick start guide, there you will find how to do that along with other stuff. This is the pdf file.
I'd agree with Sarfraz.
