To create a menu enter a name and a description and select the menu type, there re three different types that can be used:
- Static: The menu will be static all the options will be displayed in the menu module.
- Dynamic collapsed: The menu is dynamic only the sections will be displayed in the menu module and there will be +/- links to open/close sections. The application menu in tiki is an example of this class of menu.
- Dynamic expanded: The same as before but all the sections are expanded by default and the user can close with (-) the options that he wants to close.
note: it's a pain because you have to modify a file for each css style....

Once a menu is created you can edit the menu options clicking the options link from the menu listing.

This screen is where you manipulate the options in a menu, at the top a preview of the menu will be displayed, a form to add options/sections to the menu is displayed next, then a list of the sections and options in the menu is displayed. To illustrate how to create menus we created a menu with two sections and two options in each section:

The links at the right of the form to add/edit options can be used to insert common links to Tiki sections if you don t remember the URI for such items.
You can create a menu for whatever you want, to replace the application menu, to have a list of options to your favorite sites, to display a menu of galleries you like, download sections, whatever.
