Some tweaking
As you have seen, there are nearly infinite possibilities of setting options. Many things are possible
and there is usually a way to achieve your goals. Concerning the navigation design, it is possible to filter
the level of the menu items in the module. It is possible, for example, to put
•
the first level of our News menu at the top position and the second and third level in the the left or right
sidebar
•
the whole menu on top and use drop down menus (depending on the capabilities of the template)
If you play around a bit, you will find a solution for nearly every case. The Joomla navigation system
may be a bit complex on one hand but is very powerful on the other.
