To add a new Menu module or edit an existing Menu module, navigate to the Module Manager:

• Select Extensions → Modules

Click the New button and click on Menu in the modal popup window.

To Edit an existing Menu module, in the Module Manager click on the Menu Modules Title or click the Menu module's check box and then click the Edit button in the Toolbar.

Details

• Title. The title of the module. This is also the title displayed in the Frontend for the module.

Module

• Select Menu. (User Menu/...) Select a menu in the list
• Base Item. (Current/...) Select a menu item to always be used as the base for the menu display. You must set the Start Level to the same level or higher than the level of the base item. This will cause the module to be displayed on all assigned pages. If Current is selected the active item is used as the base. This causes the module to only display when the parent menu item is active.
• Start Level. (1/2/3/4/5/...) Level to start rendering the menu at. Setting the start and end levels to the same # and setting 'Show Sub-menu Items' to yes will only display that single level.
• End Level. (All/1/2/3/4/5/...) Level to stop rendering the menu at. If you choose 'All', all levels will be shown depending on 'Show Sub-menu Items' setting.
• Show Sub-menu Items. (Yes/No) Expand the menu and make its sub-menu items always visible.

Advanced

• Menu Tag ID. An ID attribute to assign to the root ul tag of the menu (optional).
• Menu Class Suffix. A suffix to be applied to the CSS class of the menu items.
• Target Position. JavaScript values to position a popup window, eg top=50, left=50, width=200, height=300.

• Layout. If you have defined one or more alternative layouts for a module either in the template or Joomla Core, you can select the layout to use for this module.

• Module Class Suffix. A suffix applied to the CSS class of the module. This allows you to create customized CSS styles that will apply just to this module. You would then modify the template.css or custom.css file of your template to apply styling to this new class.
  • Enter this parameter with a leading space to create a new CSS class for this module.
  • Enter the parameter without a leading space to change the CSS class name for this module.

• Caching. (Use Global/No Caching) Whether or not to cache the content of this module. A setting of "Use Global" will use the 'Cache Settings' from Global Configuration.

• Cache Time. The number of minutes for which to cache the item locally. It can safely be left at the default.

• Module Tag. The HTML tag for the module to be placed in. By default this is a 'div' tag but other HTML5 elements (address/article/, …) can also be used.

• Bootstrap Size. (0/…/12) This allows you to choose the width of the module via the span element built into bootstrap.

• Header Tag. (h1/h2/h3/h4/h5/h6/p/div) The HTML tag to use for the modules header or title. Note: You must use a module style (chrome) of 'html5' or add your custom module styles in [yourtemplate]/html/modules.php.

• Header Class. Here you can add optional CSS classes to add to the modules header or title element.

• Module Style. You can use this option to override the templates style for its position.
