Question

I would like to add code to a menu by modifying the Joomla mod_mainmenu module in Joomla 1.5 and I just need a standard “list” type menu.

This is the standard output:

<div class="moduletable">
<ul class="menu">
    <li><a href="#"><span>Link</span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span>Link</span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span>Link</span></a></li>
</ul>

I want it structured like this:

<div class="moduletable">
<ul class="menu">
    <li><a href="#"><span>Link</span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span>Link</span></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span>Link</span></a></li>
</ul>
<span class="justify"></span>

As you see, I want to add the span tag with the justify class. I do this is to make my ul menu with floats, justify correctly.

Could someone explain to me what, where and in which file, I need to add the needed code to?

I am also interested in other methodologies to do this without altering the module code if anyone can link me to example of this?

Answer 1

copy the tmpl file of mod_mainmenu to

Copy file from Joomlaroot => modules => mod_mainmenu => tmpl => default.php to
Joomla Root => templates => yourSelectedTemplate => html => mod_mainmenu => default.php

Just append your code after last line of code in this file.
