frederic jollet	Thursday 28 April 2005 2:26:00 am Thanks for your answer and sorry if i'm not clear. I need to see the items of the duplicated folder in the left menu of the public site (not the admin site, because i can sea it already) I did it so: setup>class>group_of_classes>content> I get the "content" list, with a class named "folder" I dupicated "folder" and named it "folder_1" All was OK till there Now i want to see the items created from "folder_1" in the left menu of my public site. How can i do it? Thanks
Ulrich L.	Friday 29 April 2005 6:12:44 am With appropriate settings you can tell ezpublish that your new class should be allowed to be displayed in the menu as well. In menu.ini you find a definition wich classes are allowed for the menu. You will have to make an entry for your new class in order to see it instances in the menu. Make the settings under [MenuContentSettings]. Have a look at the basic menu.ini (<ezroot>/settings/menu.ini) in order to understand wich settings are required. You will have to make a further entry like "LeftIdentifierList[]=folder_1", but please do it in the appropriate override file. (Look for your menu.ini.append.php of your siteaccess (<ezroot>/settings/<siteaccess_name>/menu.ini.append.php)) So you have to understand the system of overriding settings first.
