I was just recently adding some new pages to my Shared Services section. I added 3 new pages and when I went to go link to them on the navigation bar, my Workplace drop down menu now shows as a bulleted list instead. What could be the cause of this? I haven't touched that menu section since I finished it. I am using the JSN Epic PRO template style.

The site I'm working on has its main menu in the "Navigation" section in gantry. I have another 2 menus on the page (in the "header" area), though they don't actually link anywhere. They exist as "text separators" that show a module in the dropdown box that shows when the "link" is hovered over (so one is a spyglass that shows the search module in the dropdown).
When i shrink the screen size, gantry eventually causes the menu to disappear an then enables the mobile menu, accessed by the burger button.
The problem is, instead of hiding the actual main menu in the navigation section, it's hiding the first "fake" menu search button in the header section.
I can't see anywhere to set which menu is the one that should be hidden. How do i do this?
Been stuck on this since yesterday. Finally caved and post about it on this site then find the answer 20 minutes later, naturally.
I needed to check the box marked "Mobile Target" on the menu i want to be the one to be hidden. I thought this did something else so never tried using it but it seems so obvious now.
The Joomla! 3 administrative console in my installed version (Joomla! 3.1.5 Stable) plus at least a Joomla! demo web site showcase menus that don't switch to an article if you press them, but present only the drop-down menu at first. The rendered article (i.e. the content below the menu) only changes once a menu-item is selected/clicked.
For instance, visit demo.joomla.org. The content below the menu reads "Joomla! is a free, open source content management system ..." Now if you press e.g. "Joomla!" inside the menu, a drop-down list appears, but the cited text does not change yet. Only if you press a particular menu item it changes (currently e.g. to "Joomla! 2.5.16 Released ...").
I would like to accomplish the same behavior in a Joomla! 3-powered web site but haven't yet been able to do so. On my site (sorry, not yet available to the public) clicking a menu of this kind brings up the article, and so far I have found no way to prevent that. I'm referring to articles because my menus are of type "Single Article". I've looked at other menu item types too but they did not seem to offer a solution either.
So can the behavior the demo site's menus be accomplished (without installing further extensions), and if so how? After all, the demos are surely hosted on Jooma! servers :) Perhaps this is a matter of choosing an appropriate template? But then, the solution does not seem obvious and googling reveals different opinions as to whether this is/was possible at all.
UPDATE The following is a depiction of what I get when changing the menu item type for "Open Source" from "Articles | Single Article" to "System Links | Text Separator": it now looks odd and no longer seems to function as a menu (no drop-down effect). In the HTML source the CSS classes assigned to the three menu items are "item-x current active", "item-y divider parent", and "item-z parent" respectively. (Why isn't "Open Source" marked active?)
UPDATE I am using the protostar template (marked as Default for Site under Extensions | Type Manager).
Create the top-level menus as System - Separator; this means they have no link attached, but only serve the purpose of organizing (sub)menu links.
Then when you click them, based on the setup of your menu module, they will show the sub-items. Beware, the most common behaviour is not to wait until clicked, but simply show the submenu items when hovered (when you bring the mouse over them). But the event they respond to depends on the module (mod_menu), its template override, and other scripts your template may load.
Update:
If you're using mod_menu, in the module list it will be listed as Menu; if you were using another menu module, I guess you would remember installing it :-)
I am not a protostar / twitter bootstrap fan so I can't help you much on it, but dropdown menus are definitely supported, I just tried putting the menu in the position navigation, with
"Menu Class Suffix" = " nav-pills nav-dropdown"
and it worked correctly with dropdowns on hover. As per having dropdowns on click instead of hover, look at this guide
I created a new menu (v. 2.5) with an extension. I treated the objects in the new menu as a new article and linked to them using the menu manager. So clicking on a menu item opens up a new page called "x".
The new page ("x") opens up from the new menu bar with module items (like pictures) appearing. I want to add a link to yet an additional page and have it pop up. The page opens up, but appears at the bottom of the existing page with all of the other modules showing. Not a pop up, not a new clean article without pictures from the modules in "x". So, instead of just having a text article in a new window, it opens up in the middle of all the existing modules on that page.
I tried to use the "open in another window" in the link manager of the module manager, but it doesn't work. I'm lost.
The modules in Joomla system are assigned to Menu elements. Please go to Extensions/Module Manager. You will se the published modules here. There is a column on this list called Pages. If you see All it means this module will appears on every pages.
The solution is open the modules one by one and scroll down to Menu Assign and set where you want to see the module.
I upgraded my website from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5.4, however, the menus seem to have disappeared. I was using a 1.5-only template previously, but the jUpgrade process has defaulted to pre-installed templates which is fine - but no menus! I've tried installing a few random other templates but all have the same issue.
FWIW most of the menu links are broken but I fixed a couple just to check, but no joy. The migrated site is still in its subpath which is I assume why components themselves aren't working.
As best I can tell, I followed the instructions in the Wiki on the Joomla site.
Any ideas? Thanks.

The most likely cause is that the menus were displayed in module positions specific to the template you were using in Joomla! 1.5 and that your Joomla! 2.5 template doesn't have matching positions. Alternatively the migration process didn't update the menu module positions properly and it's looking for the positions in a specific template.
Open Extensions->Module Manager then from the Filter options select Type->Menu to see just a list of menu modules. Check the positions they're assigned to by opening the menu module and selecting a position by actually clicking on the "Select Position" button and clicking on the right position in the currently used template.
To help make the choice easy you can filter down the options by selecting your current template from the pop-up menu in the top right of the "Select Position" lightbox that opened when you clicked "Select Position".
jUpgrade does not transfer the menu items from 1.5 to 2.5 properly. Those have to be recreated.
I want to create About us, Privacy policy and terms of service page using the joomla's abck-end and i created articles for the same and crate new menu items in the jomsocial menu toolbar for the same. The menu items appears fine in the front end. Everything fine till now.
The problem is when i click on the menu item for article/content page, it moves out of com_community folder and moves to com_content page and it leaves the current design of site. My site navigation for jomsocial disappears. Content appears in default joomla's template not in jomsocial's template.
Any ideas ?? Thanks in advance.....
You need to go back double check everything.
You need to ensure you have the proper menus associated with the proper templates.
Check that joomsocail template is legitimately setup on all pages. And there is nothing over ruling or over riding it
