Hi,

I’m practicing on Purity II and I have difficulties to remove or add a menu from or to Main Nav of this template. Can anyone tell me how to do that or is there any tutorials for that?
The thing is that I did not use the sample data.

Thank you very much.

First of all …. When you are starting out and trying to learn how things work with a particular template, it is a worthwhile idea to always utilize the quickstart+sample data installation. It is much easier to disable/delete elements than – as you are discovering – it can be to “reinvent the wheel” and create it from scratch. Once you take some time to review how things work and are developed within a virtual clone of the demo version(s), you can/will then better understand how things work and will be better able to apply this knowledge to future projects. 😎

Here is another resource which may assist you —> http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/Navigation

And then there is this . . . .

Firstly, I want to thank you for the information. You are right that starting from quickstart is a right choose for learning but not for production. Actually, I do have a quickstart of Ja_t3_blank installed on my localhost.
Secondly, I may not describe the question clearly. I had created manus like the video addressed does. However, Ja_t3_blank plays a little different. Somehow, the main menu only appears on the left of the page but not on the Main Nav.

Have you checked to make sure there is a “mainnav” layout block established within your Template Manager–Layouts–Default layout?

Yes, I’ve notice that and that is what I want to know what I can do with that.

Look at the Wiki Guide link I provided for you. It may be an issue of you needing to add . . . .

<block name="main nav" type="main nav" main-inner="1"</block>
. . . . to your Default layout scheme.

I’ve checked the default layout and the line is there (actually, I didn’t change the template yet). My one is here.

<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
Should it look like exactly the same as yours?

Not necessarily.

Can you provide the url of the site you’re working on?

Okay, and you made sure you HAVE a Main Nav menu created – within your Menu Manager – with a designated “default” menu item?

Yes, I’ve created Main Menu and assigned a default menu item in it. But, is Main Nav the same as Main Menu?

Not insofar as the module “Main Menu” is concerned – though the items may be identical.

Are you sure you don’t want to try to start with the quickstart+sample data installation? 😉

I have had a quickstart on my localhost and it works fine. But I couldn’t always sleep on the qucikstart. Do you agree? Beside, quckstart shouldn’t play any tricks for using T3 templates. I’ve created a site with quickstart but the reasults are I still don’t know what’s going on, and a lot of useless data now in the live site. It will impact to the live performance of the site.

So, can you just stick on this without sample data? I’ve noticed that the mainnav block doesn’t have positions that I can assign menu to and whatever the menu items of Main Menu are, they will appear on the Main Nav from I leant from the qucikstart.
Here (my test site) without quickstart, it seems like the Main Nav lost the connect with the Main Menu. Can you throw some points of how Main Nav picks up Main Menu?

Hi timwu1616,

I see that the html markup for mainnav block is there but there are not any menu items to show, be sure that you have some menu items under a menu group that is choose to show in template back-end >> profile , if you can pm me your admin account I can take a look for you.
