How to use the Menu Manager in Joomla Print

This tutorial assumes you are already logged in to your Joomla admin panel

 

The Menu Manager allows you to create custom menus for your Joomla site

1) Click Menus

 

2) Then Menu Manager

 

Let's create a new menu

 

Scroll right

The Unique Name is what Joomla uses to identify this module within the code

4) Enter a Title

 

5) Type a Description

 

The Module Title is what will display on the front-end. If this field is left blank, the module will not be created

Scroll right

 

6) Click Save

 

7) Click this icon to edit the menu contents

 

Scroll right

 

8) Click New

 

9) Select the Menu Item Type from the list

10) Enter a Title

 

 

The Alias is an internal name that Joomla uses in the URL if SEF is enabled

 

Entering an alias is optional; and, if left blank, Joomla will create a default one by automatically converting the title to lowercase and replacing any spaces with a hyphen

 

However, you may manually enter an alias, if desired

 

11) Click Save

 

The last thing to do after creating a new menu is to enable it in the module list

 

12) Click Extensions

 

13) Click Module Manager

 

14) Click the red X icon next to the menu item

 

The new menu can now be viewed on the front-end. Let's go there now
