Creating a Menu Module

In order to display menus on your site, you’ll need to create a menu module. In Chapter 7, we covered how to set up your menus in the Menu Manager and the Menu Item Manager. To create a Menu Module:

  1. Go to Extensions→Module Manager and click the New button in the top toolbar (see Figure 9-1).

  2. Select the Menu module from the items shown in Figure 9-2.

  3. Choose the menu you want to display in this module in the Menu Name drop-down menu (see Figure 9-5). If your menu isn’t listed here, you probably haven’t created it yet. See Chapter 7 for help with creating a Menu Item.
