How to display iJoomla sections in the mainmenu ?

« on: November 22, 2007, 04:08:23 AM »

Hi,
I installed iJoomla as my frontpage (by creating an item in the first position in my mainmenu) but the others items of my mainmenu still display the Joomla section layout instead of iJoomla section layout.

How do I get the mainmenu to act like the iJoomla section menu (using com_news_portal instead of com_content) ?

I would prefer not have to use URL links (as it prevents my Transmenu to display correctly active links).

Thanks

Can you post your url? (or send it by PM).

The site is currently on my Apache server.
But it will be online on an temporary URL on next Monday.
You need the URL to see the problem or to solve it ?

In first place, to see the problem. Second, to help to fix it (I hope).

was this ever solved, because I just bought the portal and I was wondering how to get my main menu to link up with each section of the news portal. I was wondering how you accomplished that.

Yes, i am waiting for a response to this too. I guess this is a very important question as per number of readings of this topic.

I noticed that if you use the module that comes with the download it will go to each section, however I don't know how to change it to a verticle menu instead of a horizontal. Is this how you connect the main menu with the sections and categories pages of the news portal??

Hi friends,
When you install iJoomla News Portal, you are installing a component, a module and a menu.
If you need to browse the sections of your iJoomla News Portal, you can enable mod_news_portal.
If you need to display those sections in your mainmenu, go to MENU - SECTIONS. There you can select all sections items and copy them to mainmenu. Then, you need to go to mainmenu and organize these copied items.
If you have any doubts about this, post them here.
Best regards,

If you use rocketthemes (rt_sporticus_news in my case) you can go to theme's index.php and there are two lines to config your menu:

Code:

//Menu stuff:
$menu_type = "supersucker"; // module | suckerfish | supersucker | splitmenu
$menu_name = "mainmenu"; // mainmenu by default, can be any Joomla menu name

You can replace "mainmenu" with "sections". It will work fine!

However, If you want to show categories as sub-menus under sections. The above way doesn't help. I suppose this is a point news portal needs to improve.
