Creating a Menu from a Wiki Page

Previously, you learned how to create a menu and add options to the menu. You can also use the Page menu module to create a menu from a wiki page. This means that any user who can edit the wiki page can help to improve the site's menu.

To create a menu from a wiki page:

1. Create a new wiki page named My Menu. See Creating a Wiki Page for details.
2. Edit the page and add several links to some of the pages you created earlier. You can also add links to external web sites.
   
   For example:
   

   *((HomePage))
   *[http://tiki.org|Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware]
   *[http://tikiforsmarties.com|Tiki for Smarties]

   
   This wiki page contains a link to the HomePage and two external links (to the Tiki home site and Tiki for Smarties).
   You can use the Wiki syntax when creating the links and editing the page.
3. Save the page.
4. Assign the Menu Page module to your Tiki layout. Refer to Adding Modules if you've forgotten how.
   
5. Click Module Options,
6. On the Basic tab, be sure assign the module to the Left column, position 20, and assign it to the Anonymous group.
   
7. Select the Module tab in the Edit this assigned module area.
   
8. In the Page field, enter the name of the wiki page that you created in Step 1 (such as My Menu).
   

    Tip

   As you begin typing in the Page field, Tiki will attempt to display any existing wiki pages that match what you type (that is, autocomplete).
9. Click Assign. Tiki saves the information and displays your new page-based menu in a module. The My Menu module contains the links (that is, the menu items) from the wiki page.
   

Anytime you edit the wiki page Menu Page, the changes will automatically be reflected in the My Menu module!
