I am using the JA OPAL template and would like to use a different menu system. I’ve installed the new menu system and assigned it to the JA MENU position, but the new menu is not displaying. When I look through the modules, none of them are JA MENU, so I can’t figure out how to disable the standard menu either.

So basically, I want to remove the standard menu at the top under the header area, and replace it with the new one in a module.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The module position I am refering to is here – http://www.joomlart.com/static/guides/layout/?ja_opal

The main menu just under the header area, named JA MENU. That’s where I want to install this new menu system and remove the current one.

Hi volotech,
Try this way:
Open templatesja_opalblocksheader.php
Find and delete these lines:
[PHP] <div id=”ja-mainnav” class=”clearfix”>
<?php if (($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) $jamenu->genMenu (); ?>

<!– jdoc:include type=”menu” level=”0″ / –>
<?php if ($this->hasSubmenu() && ($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) : ?>
<div id=”ja-subnav” class=”clearfix”>
<?php $jamenu->genMenu (1); ?>
<!– jdoc:include type=”menu” level=”1″ / –>
</div>
<?php endif;?>
</div> [/PHP]

Then clear cache, and the mega menu won’t be shown again.

Hi huypl, in my ja_opal folder there is no sub-folder named /blocks/ :((

Hi volotech,
Sorry for this, please open templatesja_opalindex.php
Find this line
[PHP]<?php if ($jamenu) $jamenu->genMenu (0); ?>[/PHP]
and replace with
[PHP]<?php //if ($jamenu) $jamenu->genMenu (0); ?>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”ja-menu” />[/PHP]

Then open templatesja_opaltemplateDetails.xml
Add this line between the <positions> tag
[PHP]<position>ja-menu</position>[/PHP]

Then create a mod_mainmenu and set this menu to the ja_menu position.

I’ve done this and now the Opal style is removed and the menu is just bare text. How do I change the style back to the Opal menu style?

I’ve solved the problem. I replaced the template index.php and templateDetails.xml with the originals then went into the menu configuration and added the link I needed to mainmenu*.
