Been a while since I have had the time to work on XOOPS' sites, and am glad to be back but have been out of the loop and searching hasn't been successful for me yet.

I am looking to design a XOOPS site for a business that deals with different sports equipment and service and whatnot.

Anyway, I would LIKE to be able to customize the main menu in this way:

I would like to have sub menus within the main menu say A, B, C, and D. Each of these menus have their own sub menus but would only display their own submenus if they are clicked on.

So, when you go to the site, it would look like this:

Main Menu
A
B
C
D

But if say you clicked on B, it would change to this:

Main Menu
A
B
Sub 1
Sub 2
Sub n
C
D

-----------------------------
Then all I have to do is a figure out a way to create virutally unlimited custom menus that will link to real content (such as news categories, photo galleries, etc. that I will otherwise hide from the main menu for organization.

Any ideas?

Thanks muchly!

I should also note that I am using XOOPS 2.2.4

Sorry for leaving that out.

You can do that with the Content module. Look at www.aka.org/aka, which is a rebuild of my live site using 2.2.4. I also took the opportunity to change some of the modules I'm using for content. Instead of multiple installations of tinycontent, I now use one installation of Content. I hide the system Main Menu and rename the Site Content menu of the Content module to Main Menu. Content allows you to order the menu items as you want and to add submenus as you indicated. If you click on General Content on that site you see the submenus. There are also submenus to the Member Content menu but you won't be able to see those. They are visible only to members (obviously enough). Their visibility is controled by a hack we have added to Content allowing menu level permissions. The programming of that was dne by a friend of mine.

Thanks a bunch Barry, I am going to download this bad boy and do some testing tonight/tomorrow.

Thanks again, this sounds like it is going to do EXACTLY what I want!

multimenu does this as well.

True, but multimenu is limited to 8 menu items, and I can say after only a few minutes that Content is a better module for me. Does exactly what I want it to.

Thanks all!
