Adding a Menu to a Module

Now that you have built your new menu, you need to create a module that will contain the menu. Luckily, Tiki includes a Menu module that you can use!

From the Menu:

1. Select Admin > Modules.
   

    Tip

   You can also click the Modules button in the Quick Admin area.
2. On the Assigned Modules tab, click the Add Module button.
3. On the Edit Module tab, use the Module Name field to select the Menu module.
   
   File not found.
4. On the Basic tab, enter the following information in each field:
   
   File not found.
   • Position: Select Left.
   • Order: Select 1.
   • Groups: Select Anonymous
5. On the Module tab, enter the following information in each field:
   
   File not found.
   • Menu: Enter43.
     

      Note

     This should be the ID number of the menu you created.
   • Type: Type vert. This will be a vertical menu that appears in the left column.
6. On the Appearance tab, in the Module Titlefield, type a name to appear as the title of the module. This is the title that users will see. Type Main Menu.
7. Click Assign. Tiki saves the module and reloads the page. The new Main Menu module appears in the left column.
   

However... we have a problem. The default Tiki module is there too. Let's change it to only appear for administrators.

1. In the Assigned Modules area, click Edit for the Application Menu module.
   
   

   Editing the Application Menu module.
2. In the Edit Assigned Modules area, for the Groups select only Admins.
   
   

   Change the Group selection so that only Admins can view the mnu_application_menu module.
3. Click Assign. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.

Now log off as the administrator. As an anonymous user, the only module you see in the left column is the new Main Menu that you created.

You've given your visitors a clean, easy-to-navigate menu.
