about Main Menu

I'm just a novice to XOOPS so this might seem to be an easy question but I don't know.

As far as I understand, the xoop's main menu will display items that link to the active-installed module, right? Well,... how about if I want additional menu items, resided in main menu, which don't link to the XOOPS module but to other program in the same site, let say wiki or photo gallery.
How could I do this?

Thank so much

to simply add to main menu you will need to edit your system_block_mainmenu.html template to look like this:






add as many as you like

Re:about Main Menu

ey,

You've made a page and would have that link in my Main Menu. That works like the way you've said. But now the next step:

The new page will be shown in a new window and NOT in your XOOPS system. So when you press on the link, you will leave your XOOPS site...

Any solution for that?

Yeh use multi menu you can set the item selected as blank,self, ect so it can open in a new window

makes it far easier then editing the main menu code and then you can add stuff as you desire

yeah, but that's JUST what I NOT want, in a new window...
I've solved it now, just downloaded de VIRII module, changed the contents of the files and installed the module.

Now XOOPS sees the modified VIRII module as my new page and intergrate it in the XOOPS system... sweet dude..

not always, depends on what what the link is for. i.e.,i have added a login link to my main menu and have also created custom blocks using menumain and it works fine as long as the links are within. for wrapping and linking then you could use tinycontent or similar module.

A little more,
I saw the news announcement about MMA Global launches XOOPS. (http://www.mmaglobal.com/)
They don't have System Main Menu, right?
What do they use?

(sorry, too many questions)

as i said above you can create custom blocks with links using tiny content, free content and use the main menu system to style them, or you can use something like mutimenu. i always use free content for no reason. xf-section can also be utilized.

For MMaGlobal.com I just made a custom block that had all the links I needed in it.
