Subtitles of the Movie
In this movie let's just talk a little bit more about menus. Let's talk about their order and their removal. Now, if we go to the Main Menu Manager you can see right here you've got these two menus. If you don't want it anymore, just select it and delete it. Now, if we just want to edit the menu items, we can go in there and we can change the order however we want. So let's say I want to mov Site Contacts above Business Contacts. I just click the Up Arrow and it will flip the order for me. You can see those changed. The one thing I have to remember is to actually save it. I've got to click that little floppy disk picture to make sure it's saved. I'll go back here and you can see they've flipped. OK. Back on the back-end, we have these two links in there, which we can get rid of and we don't have any web links so we could get rid of that and that little line there that we used as a separator, something we can get rid of. So what we can do is we can check those and then we can just hit Trash. Now, those four items were sent to the trash but the one thing you have to look at is the Menu Trash periodically and that way you can select all of them with that top checkbox if you want or just parts of them and then you can either restore them if you made a mistake and deleted something or later on you want it back. Maybe you have special links around the holiday times or special links during certain sale times. You could restore those and you don't have to worry about losing them. Or you can just permanently delete them. It will double check with you and ask you, are you sure you really want to do that? And I do so I'm going to click Delete. This is not something you have to do a lot but you definitely don't want it to get all clogged up and be taking up disk space because you're not cleaning up some of these areas where things are removed but they're not permanently removed. So as you do this, just periodically go in there and move items out of the Trash permanently. Now, take a minute to go through and add menu items to the current menus that you already have and also go in and make your own new menu and then create a module and make that appear on your site for you. Play around with the different items that you can create into the different types.
