Moving Menu Items in Joomla

Although the menu item that you just created is part of the Electronic Products menu, you can move it to another menu easily. Moving and copying menu items can be done by using the Batch button in the toolbar. Select the check box of the menu item to move (New Electronics Among Cameras And Cell Phones) and click the Batch button from the toolbar above (see Figure 7-12).

A batch process dialog box pops up, as shown in Figure 7-13. Select the Move radio button found at the bottom. From the Select Menu Or Parent For Move/Copy combo box, select the menu to which you want the selected menu item to be moved.

Assuming that you want to move the selected menu item to the Main Menu, select the option Add To This Menu, found below the Main Menu heading from the Select Menu Or Parent For Move/Copy combo box (see Figure 7-14).

After selecting the menu to which you want the menu item to be moved, click the Process button. The menu item will be moved to the Main Menu from the Electronic Products menu. The Electronics menu will become empty, and there will be no menu items in it now (see Figure 7-15).

After opening the Main Menu, you will find the New Electronics Among Cameras And Cell Phones menu item (that was moved from the Electronics menu), confirming the successful move of the menu item, as shown marked in Figure 7-16.

From the front end of the web site, you can see that the menu item appears along with other menu items of the Main Menu (see Figure 7-17). It was previously found at the bottom of the site (refer to Figure 7-11).
