Help4.x:Site Modules: Menu

Details

• Title: Module must have a title

Module

This module displays a menu on the frontend.

• Select Menu: (About Joomla/Australian Parks/Fruit Shop/Main Menu/Top/User Menu). Select a menu in the list
• Base Item: (Current/Getting Started/Using Joomla!/Using Extensions/Components/Content Component/...). 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 currently active item is used as the base. This causes the module to only display when the parent menu item is active.
• Start Level: (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/...). 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/1/2/3/4/5/6/...). 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.

• Title. The title of the module. This is also the title displayed for the module depending on the Show Title Form Field

• Show Title. (Show/Hide) Choose whether to show or hide the modules title in the front end. The title will be the one in the Form Field above.

• Position. Choose the module position you wish this module to be displayed in. A custom module position can be entered for use with the load position plugin or the position button can be pressed to select a module position from the template.

• Status. The published status of the item.

• Access. The viewing Access Level for this item.

• Module Ordering. This shows a drop down of every module in the position that the current module is in. This is the order that the modules will display in when displayed on in the front end as well as in the Modules page.

• Start Publishing. Date and time to start publishing. Use this field if you want to enter content ahead of time and then have it published automatically at a future time.

• Finish Publishing. Date and time to finish publishing. Use this field if you want to have content automatically changed to Unpublished state at a future time (for example, when it is no longer applicable).

• Language. Item language.

• Note. This is normally for the site administrator's use (for example, to document information about this item) and does not show in the Frontend of the site.

Common Tabs

Menu Assignment

• Module Assignment. Select On All Pages, No Pages, Only on the pages selected or On all pages except those selected from the List.

• Menu Selection. If the latter two options are selected a list will show all of the menu items. This allows you to assign modules to some but not all pages, and by selecting the menu links that you want the module associated with you can customize on what pages modules appear/don't appear.
