Creating Menu Entries

Is it possible in XOOPS 2.07 to add entries to the main menu that do not derive from a module (i.e., that link to a specific URL either internal -- like a specific article -- or external)?
Alternatively, is it possible to create blocks with additional menus in them (that look like the main menu but with other names) in which the items are linkable to URLs as well as to modules?

this is a copy of the template system_block_mainmenu.html:






eg: Login

external: your text

this is assuming you have cloned your templates. the bold text is where you add your link and you can add as many as you like.

This question gets asked so much....I have in fact wondered this myself.

But the real question is why isn't this part of the XOOPS core module base? i realize that there are third party modules that can do this but it can be hard to locate them at times.

I am just surprised that is all.

I added something to my menu but it is available to all users, not just those logged in or registered. I want to make this item available to only registered users. Any ideas?

I have seen new links added to the main menu to outside links as a module. I think it is being used as a one page module with a redirect. I am not sure of this though. But I have seen it used for phpbb forums and before your actually connected to the forum it shows a redirect page. And when it is used as a module you can control permissions to the link. I have asked someone using such a module and I will come back as soon as I find out and post my findings. Until then if anyone knows the mod that I'm talking about or a similar one I myself would like to know.

All you need to do is create a custum block with HTML.

And as TJ said...
but more specifically...
just use the style rules

IE


that Urls Name in this case its a heading like Home


more of the same different style hierarchy
its name

So you see its mainly the: "a class"...and a td style rule....
Apply these to a custom block in html mode..and you get another menu system...that looks like you main one. The difference being that they are typically direct links.
(without the modules sub headings as you go)

If you don't feel like doing that...you might look at
those other menu systems
