Replace custom menu with Oracle Forms 11g default menu

In my main form window, I have the following menu bar which is used for traversing. Its inherited from .mmb file.
Now, when I select any form on the menu, lets suppose I selected the highlighted "Purchase Order", then I don't want the same menu to be shown. I want the Oracle Form 11g's default menu to be shown instead, picture added below for reference.
I changed form's property of Inherit menu to No and the menu from image 1 isn't shown in "Purchase Order" but I still am not getting the default&smartbar menu.
How can I achieve that?
Thank you.
So I figured out a way how to disable .mmx menu and enable DEFAULT&SMARTBAR menu when I go to another form through the menu.
From the first screenshot above, the on-click-trigger had the following code
call_form(:global.path||'pc');
I replaced it with
call_form(:global.path||'pc',hide,do_replace);
So the addition of
,hide,do_replace
worked.
Side note: Also, make sure Inherit Menu property of Window property is "YES" and Menu Module of form property is set to "DEFAULT&SMARTBAR"
I think in the properties window from the form you got the property "menu module"
If you make a new form it gets the default: DEFAULT&SMARTBAR
So I think it is now filled with your mmb filename.

Joomla create 2 different sub menus with same menu items

I have two menus first one is "3D" and second one is "2D".
I have some sub menu items in common,for example Getting Started sub item common in 3D & 2D.
But i can't create that menu in same name.But that is very important in our project. How can i create sub menu items with same name?
You can't create two menu items with the same alias but you could link them using:
Menu item Type: System Links -> Menu Item Alias
This menu item will just be a link to the other item using the same alias.
Hope this helps
In menu manager (I use Isis admin template):
Tick submenu you need to duplicate
Click batch tab at top of page (a lightbox appears)
In the second box down, select where you want the menu item to come under
Under this is a copy or move option; select copy
Click Process
Done
P.S. Depending on how your menu assignment is set up, you may then have to go into module manager to your menu module (in my case CK maximenu), menu assignment tab, and tick the appropriate box so that your main menu appears on the page.

Problems with sub items into a Joomla main menu item

I have a litle doubt related to main items and sub items in the Joomla Main MenĂ¹.
If you open this link you can easy understand my problem: http://onofri.org/example/example1/
In this website I have a main menu under the header. This main menu contains a main items named Who We Are which in turn contains 4 sub items that appear when you hover the mouse on the parent item (Who We Are)
Clicking on these sub item correctly appear some statics pages (some articles) and this is ok.
The problem appears if you click on the main iten Who We Are, in this case appear a 404 error.
What can I do to solve this problem? Can I make not clickable the Who we Are main item?
Tnx
Andrea
use "separator" as a menu kind; any other type will be clickable.
separator is available in the bottom group "System links" as "Text separator".
What I always do in such situations is avoiding using items that do not point to anywhere. It is better to do it like this:
Make Who We Are a Article type menu item that will point to article from first sub-menu item in Who We Are
Make first submenu item Erusma Birth an Alias type menu item that will point to your main menu item Who We Are
What you have now is menu where all items point to some place on website. You have no errors and easy to understand navigation. Separator should not be used as main or sub-menu item it self. More like sub-menu column name etc.

Style (template) assignment to menu items in Joomla 1.7 - baffled

I have a number of Template Styles. If I change the default Style, I can see that my Styles are working. The Style actually changes. But for a week I have been trying to find out why my menu assignment doesn't work. I'm completely baffled.
So I have found two possible places where I could possibly change my Style per menu item. Either in Template Manager: Edit Style -> Menus assignment -> ticking the menu item. Or Menu Manager: Edit Menu Item -> Changing Template Style. I have tried these settings a hundred times. Those settings have absolutely no effect.
Where can I change the Style so that I get different Style for each menu item (by menu item I mean the page opened by the menu item)?
Try to create separate style files like mymenu1style.php, mymenu2style.php etc. together with corresponding XML files as it is described at http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_1.6 in Menus section of that document
Then assign each style in Menu Manager "Edit Menu Item -> Changing Template Style"
I found the answer. I didn't use the actual Joomla menus before so I didn't know what links they produce. And there was a trick in the links they produce. On Menu Manage: Edit Menu Item there is the Link for the menu item ready for copypaste. However, this link is for example:
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65
and the Itemid variable is missing from that! If it's missing, the template style will be the default one instead of the assigned one! So the correct link is, for example:
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65&Itemid=205 (note exact cases on Itemid) (the Itemid, aka ID, is in fact also on the same Edit Menu Item page, but just separately)
Or the other correct link is, after enabling Global Configuration / Site / SEO Settings / SEF URLs Yes:
http://site.com/index.php/menualias
That would also render with the assigned template. Or without the index.php/ part with the URL rewriting option.
So, which overrides which: the Edit Menu Item / Template Style setting or the Template Manager: Edit Style Menus assignments? The answer is, according to my test, if you keep the EMI Template Style as - Use Default -, then you can change it from Menus assignments. In other cases, the last saved situation overrides. If you have EMI Template Style set to mystyle1 and Menus assignments the same page is set to mystyle2, the latter will override while the EMI Template Style remains set to mystyle1. So it's a bit confusing. Then if for the page you change EMI Template Style to mystyle3, that will blank out the Menus assignments setting and therefore override that.

it is possible to show the top menu item as active when a corresponding sub menu item is active?

i have following menu structure and using the standard menu joomla module:
menu top items: home, techniques
menu main items: home, about
menu techniques items: tech1, tech2, ...
e.g. when i click the home top menu item, the home top menu item and the home sub menu item are shown as active. i want to have the same behaviour for the other menu times. for instance, when the sub item tech1 is clicked, tech1 and techniques should be marked as active. can i reach my goal with the standard joomla modules or is it better to use another extension?
for a demo visit this website: http://www.karl-poecher.at
i'm using joomla 1.6
e.g., when cklicking 'Segmentmassage' the top menu item 'Technicken' should be active.
Yes, but it appears where you want to highlight is in the breadcrumb component. Short answer is no, but you could instead make the menu techniques items sub items of your main menu and then restructure how the output looks with CSS accordingly.
