How to change position of menu bar
to yellow mark?
please help me
First check if your template uses some framework, in some cases you can change the menu position from here, check this in:
Extensions > Templates > Your Template.
If you don't have this option, go to Extensions > Modules, find here your menu module, inside you can select the template position of your choice.
Also you can check the available positions in your template, enable the option Preview Module Positions in:
System > Global Configuration > Templates
From here add in the URL something like: yoursite.com/?tp=1
Regards.
you have to give in the joomla backend > modules your menu module any position, (like menu) and then you print it in your template file with:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="menu" style="none"/>

So I'm a little confused by Joomla's Alternative Layout overrides.
I'm using Joomla 3.3
I have read all Joomla 3.x documentation, and have followed many tutorials without any luck.
So here are my template files:
Promo is the name of the alternative layout which I would like to activate for one of my Category Pages.
So it appears as an alternative layout without a problem.
Then I've gone ahead and made the menu item:
However when I go on the page, it calls the blog.php override only and not the promo.php layout
What am I doing wrong here?
Where is your promo.xml file? You should have one in the same directory where you have your promo.php file. The promo.xml file should be a copy of the blog.xml file located under the public_html/components/com_content/views/category/tmpl folder. You will only need to change the line:
<layout title="COM_CONTENT_CATEGORY_VIEW_BLOG_TITLE" option="COM_CONTENT_CATEGORY_VIEW_BLOG_OPTION">
to
<layout title="promo" option="promo">
And then when you create a menu item, choose its type to be promo.
To expand on #itoctopus, there are two different things, an alternative layout and an alternate menu layout. If you make a direct menu link you must use the latter. For this you need the xml file, and at that point it will show up in your list of menu options. Alternative layouts are applied to items and the do not show up in the menu options. The menu always overrides the item. There are some additional options you can play around with.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
In Joomla 3.1, I'm using the K2 component to build a full content-driven news website.
All is well, but I just don't like the K2 Login module, and therein lies the rub. That module automatically generates two key links:
• Add Item
• My Page
I want to unpublish the login module and add both of these links to a standard Joomla menu. It's easy to add the "add item" link because it's essentially static.
But the "My Page" link is dynamic. I've found the PHP code that generates it:
<?php echo JText::_('My Page'); ?>
But I don't know how to make a plain old Joomla menu item -- as in, one that I add through the menu manager -- to generate that code.
Note: It's important that I be able to use the Joomla menu structure because I'm also using Joomla's access control to hide or show these buttons. Meaning, I've added a "contributor" usergroup, and I only want them to see these links.
Any bright ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!
You should go to the template you are currently using, in their you create a html folder.
In that folder you create a mod_menu folder.
Than you got your Joomla root > modules > mod_menu.
And copy files which are inside and drop them in the html > mod_menu folder.
Now you can edit the mod_menu to your favors with a rewrite.

Hope this helps you.
I didn't find the answer of my question in stackoverflow, so excuse me if this is a duplicate.
I need a step by step guide on How to create a footer menu in Joomla!, and HOW TO USE THIS MENU LATER. I actually created the menu but I don't know how to use it in a template. Please note that I'm new to Joomla! and just use it for the SEO it has.
Thanks in advance! :)
A footer menu is just like any other menu, same concept.
First of all, you need to create the markup in your index.php in your template folder like so:
<div id="footer">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="footer" />
</div>
Then, in the Joomla backend, create a new Menu type and call it something like "Footer Menu". Once done, start creating a few menu items and assign them to the menu type you created before.
Then:
Create a new module,
Set the type to menu
Open the module in the Module Manager and on the right hand side in the parameters, there will be an option to select which menu you wish to use. Choose the one you have created.
Set the position to footer (assuming that is the name of the position you're using for the footer. If not then use whatever is required)
Publish the module and assign to all menu items
Save
On your website you will see the menu you have created, it will look rather bad but you can now start styling it using CSS to make it look better
Hope this helps
Just want change the layout of the login page same as other pages, I want to remove the left sidebar bar and show the main menu, few images and text. You can see the current layout.
Visit http://www.egovtsolutions.net/index.php/component/users/?view=login
You can make the menu module display on all pages rather than on selected pages...then the menu will be displayed on all pages.
You have to choose display option from that module. If you want to enable some modules in that position just check the menus names from that module.
If you don't want any module in login page just unselect all modules from that page. Then only you have better look for login prompt as your wish.
Try this....
I dont know which version of joomla are you working on. But this link covers from joomla 1.5 to 1.7.
You should try to give the "extra2" or "position-29" to your log in module.
The key is just the position you are assigning.
I am integrating blog(wordpress) into our magento site. I am at the point to update handler in the blog.xml file. I want to display in sidebar only the blog menu but not other menus that are by default in the right sidebar. I know i can remove the right sidebar all together but then there is not sidebar to attach my blog menu.
How to do this - add single menu and remove rest of the menues in the sidebar?
Thank you,
Margots
Hy,
you can use unsetChild to remove content from any bar you like, and append to add
any block you want.
See here how to use:
Magento Layout Files Reference
Or remove the complete sidebar and set your block you want to show in your sidebar with as="right"
in your layout update xml.
