The default Joomla installation has four predefined menus: Top Menu (horizontal menu),Main Menu (vertical menu), Other Menu, and User Menu. Top Menu runs horizontally across the top of the page.Main Menu appears on the left side of the screen and shows the most common site options. The third menu, Other Menu, appears at the bottom left of the screen and includes links to external web sites (Joomla Home, OSM Home, etc.).The fourth menu, User Menu, doesn’t appear on the screen until a user has properly logged into the web site. It has links to items such as Your Details and Log-out.
To begin editing the menus on the front page, return to the main page using the Site Control Panel menu selection. Once at the Control Panel, click the Menu Manager icon.The Menu Manager shows a table of all of the menus currently on the site. You can see that the default site has six menus. The table column directly to the right of each menu title lists the type of menu.
Click the Main Menu link to move into the menu editor (see Figure 2-34). You can see
the current menu text in the Title field. Change it from Main Menu to Joomla Jumpstart
Menu and click the Save button to store the changes. |
