I'm trying to setup a website menu in Joomla 1.7 but I'm having difficulty because I can't add home link twice. It says something like 'alias is already used', or another weird error. I created two menus: one called main menu other called footer menu. I'm adding like 6 pages as single article.
I'm guessing I have to use main menu twice, and just load it into two different menu modules: one for main menu, one for footer. The thing is, the footer menu has 1 more link than the main menu. Is there a way I can add a link to main menu, use the main menu for both main/footer menu modules, but only have that extra link appear in the footer module?
Really stuck here, need your help.
Thanks
Just create the second menu (and the corresponding module) for the footer
with Menu Item Types Menu Item Alias associated with first menu items
and add to the second menu one more item of the requested type.

I am just building out a Personal Portfolio Site using Joomla Platform under TemplateToaster Tool and want to know how to create submenus.I want to add a single Menu in Navigation Bar and want to add 3 submenus under the main menu.
Can anyone help me out of it.Any Joomla User ?
This can be done by creating menu items that have a "Parent Item" that is a menu item in your main menu. Note that your menu template must support nesting in order for these submenus to appear properly (most Joomla menu templates support nesting).
maybe it an easy solution for someone..I would like how can I set up an item in menu (positioned on right side of template), that when I click it, it opens/shows a module (news blog) under that menu(item) (in the same right position). Similar to click accordion just that menu item is in a menu module and a news blog is another module.
thank you.
In Joomla you can assign modules to specific menu items. THat means the module will appear when you click that item. You can assign a module to one page, all pages, specific pages you click or "all except" a list you select. Other than that I'm not sure what the question is, but I will say it's not a programming question.
In joomla module can also show in article,
You can create a article and link those article to specific menu.
And those article called a module like {loadmodule module_name}.
Also with module position like this {loadposition position_name}.
Im newbie to Joomla. How do I change the main menu like screen below to my customize menu?
Menu
Create your own custom menu from the backend. Login to your administrator panel.
Menus->Menu Manager->Add New Manager
Enter the menu details and you will be able to see it in the drop down. Select menu type items and assign articles, contact etc to your newly created menu.
Now under Extensions tab click on Module Manager . Now manage your custom menu to the position you want it to display. Like if you want to display your custom menu as main menu then go to main menu and assign your menu to it under basic options and the position you want it to display.

Not clear from your question that what you need to do but as per your menu image i will describe my answers.
If you need to change the position of menu then go to backend extension->Module Manager->select main menu and change position of main menu.
Also same you can change your custom menu positions.
If you need to change main menu and set custom menu instead of main menu then you need to change menu position and set position of custom menu from module manager.
Menu items will be added from the menus->select menu->add new menu items.
Not clear from your question that what you need to do but as per your menu image I will explain my answer below -
if you want to main menu to be a drop-down menu then you can use some free menu extension module of joomla like JB DropDown Menu or CK Megamenu, dropdown menu.
I tried adding some pages in joomla but the navigation on the left disappears when following the newly add link. Please have a look here and notice the left navigation bar not showing under the "Test Menu Item" (left bottom).
I have literally copied all parameters from another menu item (e.g. "MILIEU") but it doesnt seem to affect the behavior. In stead the "news archive" item is always listed in the left navigation area.
How to remove the news archive link and have the normal navigation shown?
Please help!

Check the menu assignment of the module you want to show when a menu item is selected. Check this: http://www.byte.nl/cms/images/joomlatemplatecursus/jt15_5/menu-assignment.jpg
Is that possible to make a single article as homepage, but not connected with any menu item?
I'm using Joomla 1.7
No that is NOT technically possible - Joomla is menu driven.
But you could create a Menu Item (of type Article -> Single Article View) set it to be the default item (so it is your home page) and set the main menu module to not be shown on that page (if that is what you are trying to achieve).
The other option - is to create a new menu - for example called 'hidden'. Add your new menu item to this menu, and don't even have a module for this menu.
One or other of these options should do what you need.
In the article list, there is a flag that can be activated that says "Home Page".
That makes the article to be shown in the content area of your home page... just that.
