i want to write a module which shows a menu for a restaurant.
I don't want that my customer needs to do anything in the backend.
If the User is logged in, every Menu point should have an edit button.
If it's clicked, a little div pops up where the menu point can be edited.
I'm faily new to joomla extension dev. But i do know php/js/ajax stuff.
Can anyone point me into the right direction. Is this even possible with just a module?
Has anybody an example where this technique is used?
I'm using joomla 3.1.
Best regards. Maik

OK, I'm new to Joomla. Making updates for someone still using 1.5, plan to get them upgraded to v3...
I need to add a new article and menu item. I've figured out where to do that in the backend, but my menu item isn't showing up in the navigation. I went to menu manager, where I added the new link to a menu called mymenu. I see the actual module in the template is titled myleftmenu, and I have the menu item selected there with the others from mymenu that appear throughout the site.
I've researched this and see maybe there were some bugs in 1.5, even some weird conflict with php 5.3, but none of this makes sense. I don't have spaces or special characters in the menu alias (or wherever that had been an issue for some people). I'm really stumped here because this really makes no sense. I don't seem to have anywhere else to look in the backend to update or change this, so what's the issue?
I would check:
1- check if you are placing your mymenu in the right module position. To do that put that /index.php?tp=1 at the end of your url (eg: www.web.com/index.php?tp=1) it will give you the position.
2- check if your menu is published (you need to click on "published")
3- if you are trying to make a drop down menu : know that it is not supporter by native joomla so you need to download module such as this one.
4- maybe your menu works but is not display because of overflow:hidden
I tried to modify other menu items in the backend and nothing was updating. I finally went searching for a php file that could have been hand-coded and modified and found that in my modules directory. Not being familiar with Joomla, and not sure if this menu had even been set up correctly, I then had to figure out how to get the right blog and item ID numbers for the hyperlink. Ugh! I feel like someone went about building this in a way that just made it more difficult for everyone who has to update the site in the future. Now I'm really wondering what a version upgrade is going to do to this!
I'm confused. Can somebody please explain to me how the "read more" button works for articles in joomla? I'm trying to make it work for a template made from scratch but the article doesn't show more when I click on the read more button.
Do I need to set another module to put the entire article on? Or do I need to make a new page for viewing the article on? How would I make sure my link would go to the new page? Or is it possible for me to switch the contents of a certain module once I click on read more?
I have created a custom joomla template based on blank joomla template from http://blank.vc/. Everything was fine until i clicked either forgot password?, forgot your username? or create account link that bring me to register or reset page in frontend but strangely the top menu was gone.
This is the screenshot :

i have no idea why this could happenned.
Please help with this. I appreciate all the help. Thanks!
The problem is because only on the pages selected option for module assignment is set. If you open a page which doesn't belong to any menu, then module won't be shown on it.
You can either check menu module to be shown on all pages, or make a new menu item for forgot password functionality, and then assign that menu for both menu module, and breadcrumbs module.
I don't know which Joomla version you're using and what you use for translation, but if you use Joomfish or Falang, language translation should be much easier.
If you don't use any of those, and you really need to leave everything as it is, then you can also detect current user language in the template, and load either one or the other menu module based on it. That way you can set module to be shown on all pages, and make sure it is displayed only for the choosen language.
I'm fairly new to Joomla, but I'm an experienced developer with a tendency to dive into the code a bit too quickly. Before I start doing that this time around, I'd like to know if there is a simple, proper way way to add a right side menu to the default template in Joomla. I'm using Joomla 2.5.
Bonus points for info on how to access and create menu types.
Before you start, the template would be the first thing I would install. If you're looking for free then it's going to be lie choosing a car, there are so many to choose from. If you like editing and styling, then you might want to consider the Yootheme Master Theme
As for the menu on the right hand side, you can create a new module, set the type to menu then assign a menu to it. I assume you already know how to create a menu via the Menu Manager ;)
Hope this helps
OK. I figured out how to do it without any external modules or a drop of code. These are the steps:
Go to extensions->module manager
Choose one of the menu module types (I choose 'Menu example')
Enable it
Choose position
scroll down, actually second page, choose position-6, which is Beez5 or Beez_20 top right.
Make sure the menu is enabled for all pages that you want it to be.
Save and close.
Simple as that.
You Can use the plugins for side menu:

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
