Menu Module Parameters
Menu module parameters control how a menu module appears on your site and works with your template. From the parameter settings, you control the menu style and name, whether the menu has submenus, and so on. This section covers an overview of the Menu Module parameter settings.
To access the menu module parameters:
- Choose Extensions > Module Manager.
The Module Manager opens with a list of all modules created or installed on your site.
- Click the Main Menu link to open the Module Editor.
- Click the arrow next to Module Parameters to expand the Module Parameters panel.
The Module Parameters panel is where you can change your parameter settings. You won’t be changing any of these settings right now (Figure 4.23).
