Comments for How to Use Multiple Menus on the Same Page at http://www.howtojoomla.net , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://www.howtojoomla.net Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:40:55 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-895 I have a problem with showing menus selectively. I have a top menu that should appear on all pages and a series of left menus that appear on selecting the relevant top menu item. I know that in the Modules Manager, it is important to select the top menu item as well as the left menu items for which the specific left menu should appear. I had done precisely this...but surprisingly some of my menus show up fine, i.e. on selecting the relevant top menu item the specific left menu appears and remains on when clicking any of those left menu items. But out of 6 such left menus, 3 work fine while others don't. These don't show up unless I select the All option in the Modules Manager. I am foxed!!! - Sukanya Swadi Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:30:33 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-660 Hey, guys, I was hoping you can help me with my little problem. The thing is ... I'm trying to remove a menu when a user clicks on a certain link. Well, see I have a forum which is bridged (SMF forum), and the wrapper displays it in a bad way. I want to do something like this -> http://forum.joomla.org The only thing that I can come up so far is to delete the left navigation panel completely, but I would love to save it on the other pages (if the user is not visiting the forum). I would appreciate some help. Thanks. - n1ght_ Thu, 27 Dec 2007 00:09:22 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-600 I have the same pathway problem. And my section menu item is a table, which I prefer, because the blog section doesn't allow to show the creation date in the articles list, only in the full article (unless you can suggest some workaround or hack...) - stefano Tue, 20 Nov 2007 20:49:01 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-566 Hi Kevin, that's a great question. My website actually works that way, and I did not do anything special. I'm not sure why yours is not working that way. Is your section or category menu item a blog or a table? - Cory Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:15:57 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-565 Thanks for the info Cory. I have a related Joomla menu question maybe you know the answer to. The Joomla pathway (or breadcrumb, depending on who you're talking to) uses the Itemid. When I have an article residing in /section/category/ and click on the article from there, the pathway shows correctly. But if I publish it on the frontpage, it uses an Itemid of 1, killing the pathway. It just shows up as "Home." Is there a way to have items shown on the frontpage use the Itemid of their published category (or section?) to preserve the pathway function? - Kevin Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:12:12 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-42 I used to have vertical lists on my menus, but when I came to use flat lists (ul lists) it happended to appear the "id mainlevel already defined" error when xhtml validating. using the "menu class suffix" really solves this problem, and although I'm pretty sure this info is somewhere included deep inside joomla documentation I have to thank Cory for pointing it out. - jorge Thu, 05 Oct 2006 00:41:20 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-23 [quote]Still no relevant explanation found here on how menus are supposed to link to invisible pages[/quote] I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. The purpose of this article was to explain how to display multiple menus without getting an id conflict. Could you explain what you mean about "how menus are supposed to link to invisible pages"? I can try to explain it for you if I understand what you mean. - Cory Sat, 30 Sep 2006 08:00:48 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/21/8/#comment-20 Still no relevant explanation found here on how menus are supposed to link to invisible pages >:( - BTOS Sat, 30 Sep 2006 06:37:43 +0100
