1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Categories, articles, and menus.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So, we've done our categories, we've done our articles; time for menus.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
What we're going to do is we're going to have three menus for this Web site, with

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
the fourth being the footer menu.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
What I will have is one menu, which will be the current main menu, will become a

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
menu with a single link on it; it'll be the homepage link, and that link will

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
be assigned a language of all.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Then I'm going to have an English menu, and that will contain all of the links

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
that are currently on the Web site.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
And I'm going to make an Italian menu, and that will have all of the

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Italian links on it.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
In this video, I'm just going to make the English menu, and move the existing

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
links over to that English menu. I'll show you how that works.

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So here under Menus, I'm going to start by going to my Menu Manager, and say Add New Menu.

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And the menu I'm going to create is called English menu, and the Menu type will

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
be englishmenu, all one word,

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
and I'm going to say Save & Close.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So that created the English menu for me, and just as we've done before, I'm going

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
to go ahead and add a new module for this menu type.

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
This is a little bit tricky, because I have a lot of settings that I have to

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
remember for this particular menu. So my title will be English menu,

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
and I'm not going to show that title. I want the position to be in the Protostar

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
template, and I want it to be in Navigation.

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
The language for this menu will be English, so I'm going to set that down

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
here at the bottom.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Remember that we also had some additional settings for this particular menu.

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Under Basic Options, we want it to show the sub-menu items; that'll make sure that

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
the dropdowns work in all locations across the menu. And under Advanced Options,

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
we had a Menu Class Suffix of space, nav-pills; that'll give us the formatting

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
that will make the navigation bar go horizontally, and give us those little blue

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
pills that occur behind various menu items.

32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Okay, go ahead and say Save & Close.

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So we now have two modules here, and one of these has content in it, that's the

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
main menu, and one of them has no content at all; the English menu.

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
If we look at the front-end of the Web site, and hit refresh, we see absolutely no change.

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And the reason why is, one menu has content, and one menu does not.

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Okay, so the next thing I'm going to do is go back to Menus, and I'm going to

38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
go back to Main Menu.

39
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Now here on my page are all of the menus links that I have here on the Web site.

40
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
What I need to do, first of all, is I need to assign most of these a language

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
of English, so I'm going to go ahead and check off this box, uncheck Home,

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
home will remain as the language of all, this is the big default page for the whole Web site,

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
and all of the other items here in the list should be checked. And we're going

44
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
to do that batch process again, and we'll set the language to English, and say Process.

45
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Okay, so now that these are all set, I'm going to go ahead and move them, so what

46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
I'm going to do, once again, is check all of these off, uncheck Home, and I'm going

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
to click the Batch button, and I'm going to say we're going to move these to the

48
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
English menu, and add to this menu, and I'm going to say Process.

49
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
What I'll have left behind on the main menu is just one menu item; that's the

50
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
homepage. And actually, I want the same homepage over on the English menu, so

51
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
with this particular item, I'm going to copy that over, so I'm going to put a

52
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,000
checkmark by this, and I am going to click my Batch button, and I'm going to pick

53
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
English menu from the list here, and then make sure I choose to the Copy button, and say Process.

54
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
So this menu item is still available here for me on the main menu,

55
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
but now when I go to the English menu, I'll see all of my items here.

56
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
And once again, those items have been moved over, but unfortunately they have

57
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
been pulled out of there previous structure and nesting.

58
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to grab my home menu item, I'm going

59
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
to drag it on up to the top of the list here, or as close to the top as I can get,

60
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
then I'll scroll up, and then I'll drag it some more. There we go.

61
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
So as you see here on the English menu now, I've got my Home page here at the top.

62
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
The Language for this item is still to All, so what I'm going to do is I'm going

63
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
to edit this by going into my Home item, and first of all, I'm going to switch the

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Language from All to English.

65
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And I'm also going to fix my Menu Title, which is set to Home, I'm just going to

66
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
make that regular old Home,

67
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
and I'm going to get rid of that Alias as well; the alias will be filled in

68
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
automatically by Joomla.

69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And I'm also going to set this as the default page for the English menu, so this

70
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
will become the English homepage, and the way that I do that is, right here in

71
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
this particular screen under default page, I'm going to set this to Yes, and then

72
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
I'm going to say Save & Close.

73
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
What will happen now is, you see the little British flag right here; this

74
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,000
indicates that this is the homepage for the English menu, as opposed to the main

75
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
menu, where we have the yellow star. This is the homepage for the entire Web site,

76
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
whereas the English menu contains the homepage for the English side of the Web site.

77
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
You can tell here from the dropdown that we have default pages assigned.

78
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000
The little home button here under Main Menu indicates that this menu contains

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
the homepage for the entire Web site, and the British flag here indicates that

80
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
this contains the homepage for the English side of the Web site.

81
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000
So, the last thing I need to do is I need to go back to my English menu, and reorder it.

82
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
So I'm going to click on that, and when we moved all of these items over from

83
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
main menu, the way that these were organized changed, so what I need to do now is

84
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I need to click on each one of these, like Executives;

85
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
I need to change the parent item from the Menu Item Root to the About page.

86
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And say Save & Close, and I'll repeat this for Company Structure, change the Menu

87
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Item Root back to About.

88
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
So I'm going to go through, and I'm going to finish this up here offline for

89
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
the rest of the site. You know how the site was arranged before, so I'm just

90
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
going to go through, and set up the sub-navigation, so that that is functioning correctly here.

91
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
And in the next video, we have to address the modules, and the way these menus are

92
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
displaying, so that's what we're going to cover in the next video.
