  12                      are groups of navigational links to sections, categories,

  14                      are called &#39;Menu Items&#39;.Each menu must have an identification
  15                      name which is only used internally by Mambo. A menu only
  16                      becomes visible on a site if it has a published mod_mainmenu
  17                      module which references it.&nbsp;A menu may have multiple
  18                      mod_mainmmenu modules referencing it.</p>               <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Display

  59                 <li><strong>New:</strong> Click this icon
  60                           to create a new Menu. You will access the &quot;Menu Details&quot; window.&nbsp; Type
  61                           a Menu Name. This is the identification name used by Mambo
  62                           to identify this menu within the code.&nbsp; It must be unique.&nbsp; It
  63                           is recommended to use no spaces within this name. For
  64                           example, in the core Mambo the User Menus Menu Name
  65                           is usermenu and the Main Menus Menu Name is mainmenu.&nbsp; <strong>Next:</strong> Type
  66                           the Module Title. This is the name given to the new
  67                           mod_mainmenu module which is automatically created when
  68                           you save this menu. It is also the Name of the menu
  69                           as it will appear on the page if you choose to publish
  70                           it. This may be changed in the future when editing the
  71                           module.&nbsp; In the example
  72                           described above, these are User Menu and Main Menu.
  73                           Click on the Save icon. Your new menu appears in the
  74                           Menu Manager list.</li>
  75                 <li><strong>Edit:</strong> &nbsp;Click the radio button next to
  76                           the Menu Name you want to edit.&nbsp; Then, click on the &quot;Edit&quot; icon
  77                           which will take you to the Editing page.</li>
  78                 <li><strong>Copy:</strong> Click
  79                           the radio button next to the Menu Name you want to copy.
  80                           Then, click the Copy icon in the toolbar. This will
  81                           duplicate the menu. You may copy any of your menus.
  82                           Copying will create a new Menu Name, containing the
  83                           same Menu Items as the menu copied, associated to a
  84                           new Menu Module. A Copy Page will display, with the
  85                           same choices as in Create New Menu. It will also state
  86                           the name of the Menu being copied and a list of the
  87                           Menu Items associated to the menu being copied. Fill
  88                           in the fields as in the &quot;Create New Menu&quot; screen.</li>
  89                 <li><strong>Delete:</strong> Click the radio button next to the
  90                           Menu Name you want to delete. Then, click the Delete
  91                      icon in the toolbar. This will delete the Menu. A &quot;Delete
  92                           Menu : Name-of-the-menu&quot; screen will display. It shows
  93                           the Module(s) to be deleted (the mod_mainmenu modules associated
  94                           to this Menu) and the Menu Items to be deleted. Click the
  95                           Delete Icon surrounded by a dotted line. This will delete
  96                           this Menu, ALL its Menu Items and ALL the Modules associated
  97                           with it. A Javascript alert popup box gives you the choice
  98                           to &quot;OK&quot; or to &quot;Cancel&quot; this action.
  99                           NOTE: Deleted Menus cannot be recovered from the Trash
