This post applies to JCal Pro extension only. If you're using 1 of the dozens of other Joomla Calendar extensions, this tutorial won't help you.

If you are building a template from scratch, include these in your stylesheet or you'll be sorry! This is my always evolving list, so it grows regularly.

As stated previously, adding content is a two part process. The first part is creating the content item/article and the second part is creating a menu link so that there is a way to get to the new content you just created. This covers step two - creating a new menu item to link to a content post (Joomla 1.0)/article (Joomla 1.5)

1. In the Joomla top navigation bar, you will see a "Menu" button
2. Rollover the "Menu," button and click on the appropriate menu. Hopefully they are clearly named.

* Main Menu always contains a link to your homepage (whether it's published or unpublished). Joomla requires this.
* Some websites may have Multiple Menu Systems. Either ask your developer or click around until you find the menu system that contains the links you are looking to add to.


3. Click "New"
