Hi

Most of your templates seem to hardcode the use of the mainmenu in the primary menu position (usually along the top) rather than it just being a module position. iS that right?

I want different menus to appear in this position on different pages … how can I do that on your templates?

Thanks

Dave

Hi ddrinkal !
Most of template you can change menu type for along top menu by way :
– With version for joomla 1.0 :
open menu file ( ja_cssmenu.php, ja_splitmenu.php,…) in templates/ja_villadi folder , find code line :


$japarams->set( 'menutype', 'mainmenu' );


change “mainmenu” to other menu name.
– With version for joomla 1.5 :
open ja_vars.php file , find code line :


$japarams->set( 'menutype', 'mainmenu' );

change “mainmenu” to other menu name.

FIrstly thanks for the reply 🙂

So what I want to do is to have some menu items appear on say the home page but completely different menu options appear on other pages. I normally do that by telling particular menu modules to appear on particular pages, but I guess using your system, I could reproduce the template and assign differnt templates to those different pages – each calling its own menu ???

Is that the only way do you think

ddrinkal !
JA Menu system isn’t module so don’t assign it for each page , If you want do it you only edit code in index.php file , You base itemid for load or don’t load menu . example :


global $itemId ;
if($itemID == "21" or $itemID == "25" ) {
//load JA system menu
}

21, 25 is sample menu item , you must change it by itemid on your site!
