Trying to use this code to render a menu module on a custom template

Trying to use this code to render a menu module on a custom template

jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule( 'menu' );
$attribs = array('style' => 'mainnav');
$module->params = "menutype=" .$mainmenu ."\nshowAllChildren=1";
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module, $attribs);

The menu only works if I have another menu module published, so I am sure this only needs a line of code to make it work without having to publish a menu module.

The menu exists, the module for this menu does not exist, I am trying to create it with this code.

Please help.

    The code works fine I just had a small correction to make:

    jimport( 'joomla.application.module.helper' );
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule( 'mod_menu' );
$attribs = array('style' => 'mainnav');
$module->params = "menutype=" .$mainmenu ."\nshowAllChildren=1";
echo JModuleHelper::renderModule($module, $attribs);

    on the second line, the call should be to “mod_menu” and not just “menu”, and this makes the code to work perfect 🙂
