Editing the menu/navigation

I was curious how I would go about editing the menu. I used an older version of XOOPS about a year ago and it was fairly straight forward. This latest version, however, I cannot seem to find where to edit the menu (add links, remove links, reorganize, add categories, etc.).

Also, is there any features/addons that allow me to create a menu that has main "catergories", and when clicked, lists a set of links under it? Thanks and kudos to the XOOPS team, you guys do awesome work.

A very good choice regarding menu-stuff is the multimenu module.

You can play with all the things you said that you want,

Check it!

plusangel,

Thanks for the reply! I've checked out multiMenu and iMenu. The problem with multiMenu though, is that it adds the new menu under the Main Menu. I was hoping for something like the iMenu that adds it as a separate menu/catergory. The problem with iMenu is that it doesn't allow for dynamic sub-links (I think that's what it's called). I'm sure there is a way to add the dynamic sub-links to the iMenu, but I'm not quite sure how to go about that. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Disregard: Just did the menu by hand.

Well, I realized adding it manually is not such a good idea since I can't control permissions. ;)

So, does anyone have any suggestions how I can create a menu like the one on this XOOPS website? It has the Community, User Menu, and Development "catergories" then links under those. I don't know if I'm just completely missing something here but I don't see why it's so difficult to do something so simple. ;)

I've tried using multimenu, as mentioned, but again, this adds a menu inside the Main Menu... meaning, creating separate categories all occurs inside the Main Menu. So you have the following:

Main Menu
> Category
> Link
> Link
> Category
> Link
> Link

I want the Category to be the Main Menu so it's like this:

Category
> Link
> Link

Category
> Link
> Link

Just like it's on this XOOPS website.

i basically copied what shows up in . the menu title. (open the page and view source) and put it in "multimenu_menu.html"

.an example
<{elseif $imenu.submenu == 4}>
<table cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td class="obBlock" ><table cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="4"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/lhl.gif" width="4" height="20" alt="" ></td>
    <td class="blockTitle" ><{$imenu.title}></td>
    <td width="4"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/lhr.gif" width="4" height="20" alt="" ></td>
  </tr>
</table><div class="blockContent"></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<{counter print=false assign=count}>
<{assign var="top" value="1"}>
<{/if}>

Thanks for the reply!

I installed multiMenu but now I'm running into a very... strange problem. How do I add a link? Lol. I read the guide and it says something about a "New Link" button but I've checked everywhere and there's absolutely no "New Link" or "Add Link" button. I have added the multimenu01 and multimenu02 blocks but there are no links under them (obviously since I haven't added them).

So the question now is, how do I add a link in multimenu? Thanks
