hi all

All the items in the menu are from the installed modules.
I have 2 things that i want to do.

1. I have the menu item called "Forum" and i want to change this word Forum to "gossip". How to do that?

2. If i need to add an item to the menu which is not a module but my custom page, like say, "aboutme" that takes me to aboutme.php. How to do that?


cheers,
prasad..

1. Change the name in modules admin (the text field below the module image)

2. edit the system_block_mainmenu.html template

You may also check out this forum, that also talks about adding additional main menu items.

Custom Menus

You can download a module called multiMenu, which will allow you to add custom main menus.

system_block_mainmenu.html is editable through administration menu -> System admin -> templates -> system

The physical file is in modules/system/templates/blocks

Please login to your site then load this link.

http://www.yoursite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=tplsets

A word of warning. You cannot modify the default themeplate. You must make a clone first then modify the clone themeplate. Then you may edit the file system_block_mainmenu.html inside of the clone you just made.

After you finish the edit of the clone apply the clone here.
http://www.yoursite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=preferences&op=show&confcat_id=1

Look for Default template set. Set the template to the clone you made.
