As flipse said i cannot see any mean for have a new modules in main menu.
we dont install a new module everyday. (I didnt install a module for more than 2 years!!!)

so have new links are important. you can use whats new module for this purpose.

Also you can use My menus module and create your custome main menu with desire style and new image for any link/module you like.
The main menu in xoops is very old and will be dropped and replace by menu creator in 2.6 as far as i know.

Do you limit your recipes to a single ingredient supplier also? As irmtfan mentioned, there is a custom option although I tried the suggested module early on and it had issues at that time.

flipse, try to be a little more constructive and a little less critical.

irmtfan, I hear what you're saying, but using a module to do it was not what I had in mind, and I'm not sure you can put graphics in mymenu. I have used it, but never tried graphics.

I'm like you. I don't change modules all the time, but there are a couple of new modules I'm waiting to get out of Beta test so I can install them on two of my websites. So it would be nice to be able to highlight something new in the main menu for users. New content is important, but so are new up-to-date features. My android apps are a good example. I have them on 2 websites now.

I don't know anything about new menus in 2.6 but i thought it would be a nice added feature for any website and would probably be easy to do. Make New yes/no, days to show graphic XX.

mymenus is the best solution for you. I used it for this purpose (add new in the start part of links) in my website.

Hi chefry
I tested this solution on Xoops 2.5.5

Try this:

modify template file: modules/system/templates/blocks/system_block_mainmenu.html
or your custom template file system_block_mainmenu.html this way:

<div id="mainmenu">
    <a class="menuTop <{if !$block.nothome}>maincurrent<{/if}>" href="<{xoAppUrl }>" title="<{$block.lang_home}>"><{$block.lang_home}></a>
    <!-- start module menu loop -->
<{php}>
    global $xoopsUser,$xoopsModule;

    $days_for_new = 10; // a module is NEW! if "younger" then $days_for_new days

    $block = array();
    $block['lang_home'] = _MB_SYSTEM_HOME;
    $block['lang_close'] = _CLOSE;
    $module_handler =& xoops_gethandler('module');
    $criteria = new CriteriaCompo(new Criteria('hasmain', 1));
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('isactive', 1));
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('weight', 0, '>'));
    $modules = $module_handler->getObjects($criteria, true);
    $moduleperm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('groupperm');
    $groups = is_object($xoopsUser) ? $xoopsUser->getGroups() : XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS;
    $read_allowed = $moduleperm_handler->getItemIds('module_read', $groups);
    foreach (array_keys($modules) as $i) {
        if (in_array($i, $read_allowed)) {
            $block['modules'][$i]['name'] = $modules[$i]->getVar('name');
            $block['modules'][$i]['directory'] = $modules[$i]->getVar('dirname');
            $block['modules'][$i]['last_update'] = formatTimestamp( $modules[$i]->getVar('last_update'), 'm' );
            $block['modules'][$i]['updated_from_days'] = round((time() - $modules[$i]->getVar('last_update')) / (24 * 60 * 60));
            $block['modules'][$i]['is_new'] = ($block['modules'][$i]['updated_from_days'] < $days_for_new) ? true : false;
            $sublinks = $modules[$i]->subLink();
            if ((!empty($xoopsModule)) && ($i == $xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) {
                $block['modules'][$i]['highlight'] = true;
                $block['nothome'] = true;
            }if ((!empty($xoopsModule)) && ($i == $xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) {
                $block['modules'][$i]['highlight'] = true;
                $block['nothome'] = true;
            }
            if ((count($sublinks) > 0) && (!empty($xoopsModule)) && ($i == $xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) {
                foreach($sublinks as $sublink){
                    $block['modules'][$i]['sublinks'][] = array('name' => $sublink['name'], 'url' => XOOPS_URL.'/modules/'.$modules[$i]->getVar('dirname').'/'.$sublink['url']);
                }
            } else {
                $block['modules'][$i]['sublinks'] = array();
            }
        }
    }
    // render output
    foreach ($block['modules'] as $module) {
        echo "<a class='menuMain " . ($module['highlight'] ? "maincurrent" : "") . "' href='" . XOOPS_URL . "/modules/" . $module['directory'] . "/' title='" . $module['name'] . "'>" . ($module['is_new'] ? "<span style='color :red;'>NEW!</span> " : "") . $module['name'] . "</a>";
        foreach ($module['sublinks'] as $sublink) {
            echo "<a class='menuSub' href='" . $sublink['url'] . "' title='" . $sublink['name'] . "'>" . $sublink['name'] . "</a>";
        }
    }
<{/php}>
    <!-- end module menu loop -->
</div>


maybe not the best solution but...
