I have a situation where we have a "user menu" on the top of the page.This menu is shown on every page with a module.Now in order to set up breadcrumbs properly I need to have a menu item which is published but not visible to any type of user whether guest or registered..
Is it possible in Joomla to have a menu item published and hidden yet accesible via URL??
You will have to write a different module which had most of the functionality of your custom module. In the new module you can change the code in a way so that you dont show the required menu.
I think you should create a menu, setup user groups, view level. Create a menu item, and try to access via menu alis - link.
Good luck
Yes, Menu's are independent of the modules that display them, it's possible to create a menu and not create a menu module, how, depends on the version of Joomla you are using.
That's why there are so hits when you Google — "Joomla Hidden Menu" There is even an article on Joomla Doc's on "Menus" that discusses hidden menus briefly.
So, the normal approach is to create a new Menu with a name like "Hidden" or "Shortcuts" and have the menu items created in that menu, then don't assign a menu module for it.

You can use External Link while Menu creation. So you need to follow below steps.
Go to Menu Manager.
Select New Menu.
Now you will see the Menu Item Type field , Click on Select Button.
Here You need to choose Click on System Link.
Now it will open this options, i.e Menu Heading, Menu Item Alias, Separator, URL.
Choose URL option.
Now you need to give external link in the field Link textbox.
Hope it will solve your problem :)
I made a module in Joomla and tried to assign it for one specific menu link.
But it doesn't appear in the page i selected (or anywhere). Only shows when I select Module Assignment as "On all pages".
How can i show my module only for specific menu item ?
You are certainly doing everything correctly, so it should work if you are in fact on the right menu item page. I see you have a few menus so my guess is that when you are browsing the front-end you are hitting a page which is different than the one you selected here.
Check out Advanced Module Manager extension, which gives you a lot more flexibility on module assignments.
I want to add the rel="nofollow" to the links on joomla menu item. This option is not available on administration backend. The robot add the attribute "nofollow" to the meta data of the page on that menu item not the actual link. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using joomla 2.5
You have to override method that show your menu items. In website there is many articles about that.
Try these link:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=470383
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-a-navigation/site-links/8733
You don't really need to add any parameters to your menu items, you can accomplish this by overriding your menu module. In the menu module, check for the value of the robots parameter then add the appropriate rel to the link it creates.
I know how to hide the main component from the homepage, what I need is to do the same thing for all my menu items also. Basically, what I want is to create multiple homepages, so every category I choose has certain modules that display content.
How to show only modules, not the article when you click on a menu item (if it is linked to a single article)?
I know I can use some of the extensions that can embed modules to an article, but don't want to do it like that. I know that there are components that simulate homepages, don't want it like that either.
I hope my question is clear enough, I'm using Joomla 1.7.
I have found a simple solution!
Installed T3 framework, which allows the removal of main content component for the menu items you choose.
I am new to Social Engine. I am trying to add a custom menu item that will work with jQuery.
But I need to understand where is the file or files to edit in order to apply these changes.
Can anyone tell me how the Social Engine core is organized?
How do I find the files that control and generate the menu items?
Go to Control panel > Layouts > Menu editor and add new menu items to existing menus. From the same page you can also create new menus and later add them to any layout using the layout manager.
You should be able to add jQuery functionality to any menu by editing a suitable view file. Like if you want your jQuery to be available site wide then you can edit application\modules\Core\layouts\scripts\default.tpl and other layout scripts on that folder.
You can also create menu plugins. Take a look at this table on database- engine4_core_menuitems. You can see some menu items have corresponding classes. Find out those classes in SocialEngine and try to understand how they work. You can add conditions, small javascripts using these classes and this is recommended way to work with SocialEngine menus.
go to admin(control panel)
Layput
Menu Editior
As mentioned previously, we recommend editing menus in the Menu Editor which can be found in the Admin Panel > Layout > Menu Editor. For detailed instructions, please see: http://support.socialengine.com/questions/217/Admin-Panel-Layout-Menu-Editor
You can view the below mentioned video URL to understand the working environment with Socialengine Menu through admin user :

need to click on Control panel then Layouts then Menu editor and add new menu items to existing menus. From the same page you can also create new menus and later add them to any layout using the layout manager.
