Summary

 

Introduction and Sponsorship: Tim Davis introduces the video, sponsored by CyberSalt's Joomla training cohort and mysites.guru.

Understanding Menus: Menus in Joomla are like restaurant menus, showing available options to users. They need to be placed in visible positions.

Creating a New Menu: In the Joomla backend, a new menu is created under "Menus" by going to "Manage Menus" and clicking "New." This new menu is given a unique name and description.

Adding Items to the Menu: A menu item is added by clicking the "+" icon next to the new menu and linking it to an article or other components in Joomla.

Why the Menu Doesn't Show Up: The menu won't display on the site until it is assigned to a module position.

Displaying Menus with Module Positions: Module positions in the template are identified, and the new menu is assigned to a position using the Joomla backend.

Creating a Menu Module: A new menu module is created under "System" > "Site Modules," and the new menu is linked to this module, specifying the desired module position.

Viewing the New Menu on the Site: After saving the changes, the new menu appears in the specified module position on the live site.

Inserting Menus Anywhere in an Article: Using the "CMS Content" button in the article editor, a module (such as the new menu) can be inserted anywhere within an article.

Conclusion: Tim concludes by summarizing the process and encouraging viewers to subscribe for more Joomla tutorials and to enjoy their Joomla sites.
