Building Your Site Structure: the Menu System
In the previous chapter, we explored Joomla modules, the most flexible content unit of the CMS.
We’ll now look at one of the most important features of Joomla, the Menu Manager.
The menu management features allow you to create menus and menu items to build your personalized navigation system for the website. Menus decide what will be visible on the website, who can see a specific page, what the URL structure of a specific page will be, and much more.
After reading this chapter, you will be able to do the following:
- Understand how the menu system works in Joomla
- Understand how to define a navigation structure for your website
- Handle associations between modules and menu items
- Create a custom menu for your website
So, let’s begin!
