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?

Just like we could make parent tab set and combine all tabs in it.
Is it possible to do the same with navigation menus?
Basically, how can we convert set of tabs to navigation menus explicitly?
or create a parent list that would contain all the other lists.
Ex: Manager list, employee list all could get combined to one parent list,
Is this possible?
In shot, how can we convert the standard tab set in navigation menu format?
Vini,
Within Lists you can develop structures as many levels deep as you like. To do so just specify the parent list entry.
One customer that comes to mind has a single Navigation Menu list with several hundred entries, numerous levels deep.
With APEX 20.1 you now have the choice of displaying the Navigation Menu on the side, on the top or as a Mega Menu.
Regards,
David
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a secondary menu under the first one?
So another menu bar under 'Home, Team/People' and above 'Home' Title
Yes, but you don't create them as a Menu. In APEX (At least with theme 42) you have to choose Side Navigation or Top Navigation (not both).
What I've done is define my side menu then I added items to the Navigation list (in my case I have no need for submenus on the Nav. Bar) and the end result is that I have items to click on on left and top.
Yes, you can. So, you can have only one menu list, which is for the application in general, but what you could do is add a region on page 0 which represents a list.
I'm assuming you're familiar with APEX development, then you can follow these steps:
Fist you need to have the page 0(a.k.a global page) in your application. So, create it if there's not.
In page 0, create a new region.
Set the following region's attributes:
Type: List;
Position: Page Navigation;
Template: none (- Select -).
In source tab, select which list do you want to display there.
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.
For more detailed information take a look at:

I am developing a site using Joomla 2.5 and the JCE editor with the Mediabox plugin installed and enabled.
I am trying to have 3 of my menu items open in a lightbox. For each of the menu
items, I went to Link Type Options and under Link CSS Style, I have added the jcepopup noicon.
When I save the items and refresh the front end of the site (even going so far as
clearing my cache), the jcepopup and noicon classes are not applied to any of those three menu items.
This is due to the menu module that you are using. Just because the parameters exists in the menu item does not mean that the menu module uses them. You will probably need to create a template override for the menu module that includes the classes in the links.
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.
