Advanced Tab[edit]

Required Settings[edit]

File:Help30-Menu-Item-Alias-required-settings.png

  • Menu Item. Select a Menu Item name to point Alias Menu Item name at. The drop down list is sectioned by Menu Names, with a list of Menu Item names under each Menu Name. Search for a Menu Item Name by entering text in search field and clicking magnifying glass icon.

Common Options[edit]

See Menu Item Manager: Edit/New Menu Item for help on fields common to all Menu Item types, under the Advanced Details Tab which includes:

Module Assignments Tab[edit]

See Menu Item Manager: New Menu Item for help on fields in Module Assignments for this Menu Item.

Quick Tips[edit]

  • Leave the alias field empty if the menu item alias and the menu item linked to by the alias have the same parent.
  • A Main Menu Item Alias could link to an Article Menu's 'Some Menu Type' Menu Item. By using Module Assignments, a possible use would be to replace the Main Menu with the Article Menu when the Alias Menu Item is clicked. A return to Main Menu when another Alias Menu Item is clicked pointed back to a Menu Item in the Main Menu.

Toolbar[edit]

At the top left you will see the toolbar:
