i want to show submenu in a module means if in HOME page you have add 3 submenu and another menu has 5 submenu so i want when user click on home then show only 3 submenu of home page in module not another submenu.
it is possible ?
That is a standard behavior of the Joomla menu module.
If you want to display the submenu in a separate position, just assign the menu to two different modules. In the first module, set first and last level to 1, in the second the first to 2 and the last to all.

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've ask this question on Joomla Official Forums-http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=862922&f=706
But no one is able to help.
I need some help, I'm new to Joomla, I've created a website for my friend- http://www.maverikswarehouse.com
I'm stuck on the menus active states
I'm using FavouriteDark theme
I've created a Hidden Menu, these have category blogs in them, how do I make the Main Menu items in active state while one of the posts in hidden menu is clicked?
For example- I click on Gallery, then i click on one of the items, it will redirect to an article post, but the Gallery Menu is no longer active. How do I make it active?
The easiest way would be to have the hidden menu items as submenu-items of your visible menus. Like this:
Mainmenu:
Gallery
Item 1
Item 2
Other
Menu
Items
...
Now, if you go to Item 1, Gallery will get the class=active, and you can use this to style it. So now all you have to do is make sure leve2 two of your menu is not displayed. This can be done in many ways, the easiest to configure this in the module, where you can set which levels should display. If this does not work for you, you can hide individual items setting display:none on each item you want to hide.
I am running a website on Joomla and have a certain plugin installed.
I can make a special menu item which refers to this plugin to show data from a source, however this is quite limited.
I now need to make 5 different menu items while I actually just want to have 1 menu item which shows all.
is it possible to combine the output of multiple joomla menu items on one page (with one click)?
To make it less confusing, an example:
Menu item 1
Menu item 2
Menu item 3
I want the output of each menu item shown in 1 single page.
Menu item-all items
I have an article (with the id=6) on joomla 1.7
I have the main menu. In that menu, I created the item that show me only one article, the article with the id=6.
I have a secondary menu, that have 3 differents items. One of them, I have to link it to the same article with the id=6.
The problem is, that I need to add the "current" id to the item at the main menu, and in the item of the secondary menu, because both are links to the same article, so I have to highlight them.
By default, the system add me the current id to one item only when I click on that item, and doesn't when I show the same article that the item links.
Any help? thank you.
What happens if you change the second menu item to the type of 'Alias' and select the original menu item in the right hand side options?
Now instead of having two menu items with different internal menu ItemIds you have two items with the same ItemId. As long as your css is correct they should both be highlighted (or should that be highlit?).
I'm using Joomla 1.5 version and a strange behaviour came up regarding menus displaying.
In my default menu I have a menu item of "Front Page Blog Layout" type to display some news in my home page.
Everything was fine when I had only a menu assign for my whole website. The module that display the menu had the option "All" selected in "Menu Assignment" group.
But, when I choose the items for the menu to e displayed through "Select Menu Item(s)", the menu is not displayed when I try to see a news detail in the home page, even if I have all the items selected. It only work with "All" option selected.
Is there any difference between option "All" and select all items with the option "Select Menu Item(s)" selected?
I need this behaviour because I need several menus in my website that are displayed in different parts. Without this behaviour I can't use different menus across my website :( because some pages stay without a menu.
Any hint, workaround?
there's a difference between checking "All" and marking all items in "Select Menu Item(s)".
In first case module is always displayed and in second one module checks for Itemid value. If theres no Itemid value set or it doesn't match the selected items - module is not displayed.
My suggestion is to create a new menu in menu manager, which is not displayed in any module, and assign pages to it. So every page you want a custom display would have it's own Itemid.
Im glad i could help. If you assign article for a category, and make a category link in menu or hidden menu, i think it should display menu for all articles in chosen category.
