Overview

It is useful to display right hand menu modules on your site pages. These modules remain visible after a dropdown menu item on the Main Menu is clicked.

Procedure

1. In the Joomla! control panel (back end), navigate to Extensions > Modules, then click the New button to create a new module:
   
   
   
   
2. For "Select a Module Type," select "Menu"
3. Enter a title for the module in the "Title" field. For example, if you want to display a menu of the dropdown menu items under "People" on the Main Menu, enter "People" for the title.
4. Configure Module Options:
   • For "Select Menu," select the menu to be displayed
   • For "Start Level," select "2."  This will display the dropdown menu item list corresponding to the menu assignment (selected later in this procedure)
   • For "Show Title," click Show
   • For "Position," select "sidebar-b" (this is the right side of the web page)
   
5. Click the "Menu Assignment" tab:
   
6. Change "Module Assignment" to "Only on the pages selected"
7. For "Menu Selection," click the "None" link shown after "Select: All,"
