Help Screen - Error

Post by will2080 » Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:57 am

Error Location: Menu Item Manager - Help Screen
http://help.joomla.org/index2.php?optio ... n.menus.15

Column Headers...

Menu Type. The type column in the menu manager will actually be the Unique Name of the menu.

End Quote

In the section on "Column Headers" the names listed does not match the displayed name and the description appears to be referring to Item # 2 Menu Item.


Thanks,

Will

Hi Will. I don't understand your comment. The screen looks ok to me. The column headers appear to match the screenshot. Can you please explain a little more? Thanks. Mark

I'm new (only to Joomla) and this is a small detail but ...
Is it correct to say that Menu Types have unique names?

On the help screen....

http://help.joomla.org/index2.php?optio ... n.menus.15

It appears that description for bullet # 2 and bullet # 6 have been swapped.

Text from page:

Column Headers
  • 1. #. An indexing number automatically assigned by Joomla! for ease of reference.
    2. Menu Item. The name of the Menu Item.
    3. Default. Indicator of Default Template.
    4. Published. Whether the item has been published or not. You can change the.....
    5. Order. The order to display items.....
    6. Menu Type. The type column in the menu manager will actually be the Unique Name of the menu.
    7. ItemID. Here you can see the ID number. You can not change this number
.

There is no column called "Menu Type"
There is a column called "Type" that column is 2nd from the right. It lists the "Menu Item Type" (Articles » Category / Blog) not a unique name.

I hope this clears it up or that you can clear up my confusion.

Will
