I have joomla 3.0 withi this structure:
MAIN CAT 1
- Subcategory 1
-- Documents
-- Video
-- Articles
- Subcategory 2
-- Documents
-- Video
-- Articles
MAIN CAT 2
...
I need to show all the subcat in a dropdown list under the "MAIN CAT 1".
Then every subcat should show a page with 3 buttons respectively for: Documents / Video / Articles.
Those button should be created automatically for every Subcat ...
Have any ideas?
thanks a.
Mabe this will help... I myslef didn't use it, but the 4th point in the description states
- navigate through sections, categories, content items (you can even make it expand regular section/category link menu items)
so just give it a try..

How can i make a module only be loaded on a specific menuitem, but not on all subpages to this item.
I'm using Joomla 3.8.4, with K2. running on PHP7
Menu structure is:
frontpage
category 1
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
When i am on Menu1 i want to show a fullpageslider.
Beneath this slider there is a Gavick News Pro Gk5, where i have a couple of k2-items listed.
When i click on these items i dont want to show the fullpageslider again that is being showed on the Item1-page
The URL on item1 is: example.com/category1/item1
The URL on the k2 items under item1 is: example.com/category1/item1/k2category1/k2itemalias
Im thinking of a solution where i templateoverride the item1-page, where i include the existence of the moduleposition only to be inside that, so that the subitems have a different layout, but im looking for a solution directly in Joomla.
Hope someone can help
I suggest using Regular Lab's Advanced Module Manager. You can set multiple criteria so assign to menu item but exclude showing on a specific type like K2 item.

I'd like to display n modules when the users click on a menu entry. Is there any way to do something like that ?
I could use sub-menus but I'd prefer to have 1 module for the "hot topics" of the menu entry, 3 or 4 modules for sub-categories of the menu entry and a last module displaying all the articles corresponding to the menu entry.
More precisely :
(sorry for not being clear and the line breaks.)
I have a category with sub-categories. Some of the articles are tagged as "HOT".
I want that when they click on 1 entry, users see :
- a list of the articles tagged as "HOT" (I have a module which do that)
- a list of selected sub-categories and the articles they contain presented as a table of content (I've got a module which do that)
- a list of all the articles.
When I create a menu entry, I can only select one type of content (category blog, category list etc.). Wrong ?
Thanks for your responses

Got it !
Go to Extensions -> Module Manager.
Edit each module you want to be displayed and go to Menu Assignement tab. In the Module Assignement pulldown menu, select "Only on the pages selected".
A list of all your menu entries is then displayed, you just have to select/deselect according to your needs.
Hence you can select as many modules as wanted to be displayed when users click on the choosen menu entry.
Cool !
I'm trying to build a site with multiple categories and sub-categories in Joomla. The structure looks like this:
category 1
category 2
- category 3
- category 4
category 5
- category 6
- category 7
...
Each category has some articles.
What I want to do is create a navigation menu from these categories, so category 1,2,5 become top level links in the menu, while 3,4,6,7 become sub links in the corresponding dropdown list. (Update)And the articles under a category become sub links after the categories.
I've tried a few options:
Module Articles Category: It lays out all articles in a flat list without categories, not good
Module Articles Categories: It lays out all the sub-categories, but no articles
Menu item - List all categories: It gives the right result, but in a page accessed by clicking that menu item.
Menu item - single article: It's totally static and time consuming.
I'm wondering if there's a way of generating an ordinary normal navigation menu, like the ones you see in Amazon or ebay?
Why don't you create a menu structure that is similar to your category structure. So:
Menu 1 corresponds to category 1
Menu 2 corresponds to category 2
Menu 2.1 etc
You can then link each menu item through a category blog type menu item to the appropriate category. You can then configure how the articles should be displayed (multi-column, intro etc).
I am using Joomla 2.5 as CMS for my website, and I am using K2 for categories and articles/items. I was wondering if i have list of 50 - K2 categories.
It has 5 main categories and 10 sub categories for each.
How can I either manually or automatically make categories listed in main menu and when user clicks for example:
Home >> Contact >> Products >> About >> Call
If user selects Contact, how can I make it so it loads page which displays all articles/items in category called "Contact" but if User selects specific sub item from Contact for example:
Contact
^^Phone
^^Email
^^Skype
^^Post
if user selects Email it would show only articles/items from category Contact>>Email.
Help?
You can create a Menu item called Categories for example, or 10 menu items each one for your top categories.
Then you can start adding submenu items, for example in the top menu level called Contact add the Email sub-categorie. So when users visit your website can navigate through the menu to all categories you got.
An other way to do it faster is to use this plugin: http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/addtomenu but I think it only works for items and not for categories (but you can ask the developer).
IMPORTANT: You can have top-categories configured to show only the items of this one or also with sub-categories, and can create a K2 menu item which can display in one link lot of categories you can choose in the parameters using CTRL+CLICK (even from other top categories).
I am able to show items in subcategories in a menu view in Joomla (finally - it was no easy task.)
But now it is only showing the first 4 of each subcategory.
Technically they are all secondary - and it should be showing all of them because I set max secondary on the subcategories to 100.
What am I doing wrong?
If I understand your question right below should work for you.
It's under Blog Layout Options in the Edit Menu Item panel. I think I had confused it with a similar option under Category Options, "Subcategory Levels" where the tip says "The number of subcategory levels to display."
