Creating a Menu from a Wiki Page

Previously, you learned how to create a menu and add options to the menu. You can also use the Page menu module to create a menu from a wiki page.

1. Create a new wiki page named My Menu. See Creating a Wiki Page for details.
2. Edit the page and add several links to some of the pages you created earlier. You can also add links to external web sites.
   
   

   Tiki will transform the wiki page into a menu.
   
   For example:
   

   __Cool Pages__
   *((Another Page))
   *((MyNewPage))
   
   __Cool Web Sites__
   *[http://www.youtube.com|YouTube]
   *[http://www.facebook.com/twbasics|Facebook]

   
   You can use the Wiki syntax when creating the links and editing the page.
3. Save the page.
4. On the Admin: Modules page, in the Assign new module area, select Menu Page as the Module Name.
   
   

   Select the Menu Page module.
5. Tiki reloads the Admin: Modules page, displaying additional options for the module.
   
   

   Specify the options for the Menu Page module.
6. Enter the following information in each field:
   • Position: Right
   • Order: 1
   • Page: My Menu
   
   

   Note: This should be the name of the page that you created in step 1. If you used a different page name, enter it in the Page field.

   • Module Title: Cool Links
   
   

   Note: If you do not specify a title for the module, Tiki will use the name of the wiki page.

   • Groups: Anonymous
7. Click Assign. The menu appears in the Cool Links module in the right column
   
   

   The Cool Links module contains the links (menu) from the wiki page.

Anytime you edit the wiki page Menu Page, the changes will automatically be reflected in the Cool Links module!

Note: See the TikiWiki documenation for detailed information on all of the parameters of the Menu Page module.
