Hello comrades! In this article we will finish the started previous post, that is, we will make it possible to display materials on the site. Today we will create menu items in Joomla 3.6. It is the menu items are the most important component of any Internet resource, as they perform a significant role of the main navigation of the site.
Beginners of inexperienced website builders for a long time can catch a relationship that is viewed between creating material, creating categories and creating a menu. But over time you will understand what it is necessary and how to work with it. As I have previously mentioned CMS Joomla 3.6, the material being created must be tied to the category. But this is not all, so that the article is displayed on the site page you need to create a menu.
Developers have provided a huge variety of menu items. We will be adding items in the already existing Joomla main menu.
Creating a basic menu item
1. B. administrative panel Jumla at the top Find a section - Menu / Main Manu / Create a menu item.
2. On the next page we prescribe a "menu header". The field "Alias" leave empty. This is due to the fact that after the menu name is created, the system will automatically write everything you need in it. It also concerns the materials and categories for which you prescribe a title.
3. Type of menu item - This important part responsible for the output of the material. Click choose.
In the window that opens, we find "Materials", where we need to choose one of the presented options. At my site, I am 99% using a "list of category materials".
4. Now that you have identified and chose the above menu type, you should produce " Category selection" By default, uncategorised will be displayed in the system. Here you need to choose a category that will be tied to the menu. In the future it is possible to change binding. So if you mistakenly tied not what they wanted, it can always be fixed, going to the Joomla menu.
5. In the right window of the window are settings associated with the display. Condition - choose "Published". Main page - I think and so everything is clear. If you choose it, the entire material of the category will be displayed on the main page. You can also specify the "parent element". By default, the "root menu item" is installed. This section performs an important role, as it allows you to create a submenu to the main menu selected in the row. But since we have so far only one menu item, then there is nothing to tie.
6. As a result, the menu item created by us must "Save", clicking on one of the corresponding buttons on the left side of the screen.
Creating a menu item with one displayable material
If you want one article to be displayed in the menu, you need to return to the menu item Type / Materials / Material. And in the column "Selection of Material" to choose a suitable material. Next, everything is identically elected method.
Now you can go to main page Site and make sure the existence and performance of the fresh item of the Joomla menu and the content located in it.
I hope I managed to help you. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.
