Hi again.

Spoke to fast last time.

Great improvement, but strange things. Now I got the main menu showing up in a module, but I never put this lodule “on”.
And the other thing is that my child menus doesn’t work for some of them.

I made a screenshot, with the buggy page, mail me if you want to see that

Tim and anyone else, if it is not working for you, please drop me and email @ joomlafixd@yahoo.com.

I did not get to finish working on this enhancement when i worked on the project (although i feel it is close to an actual work around), so any assistance would be helpful.

If you want information about joomla performance from somebody who really knows performance, you should check out Joomlaperformance.com. The author really knows his stuff and is one of the foremost names in joomla! performance.

Thanks for the reply – I can see where I was misreading a bit what you said.

I tried this again and all my menus went wonky – the same three links in all of them.

I think I will experiment and use just one menu for the module. Maybe that will allow your hack to work – and maybe even speed things up anyways.

So you have other Joomla Speed Improvements elsewhere I can read up on?

In the Joomla Administrator there is a Module Manager. From the toolbar go to Extensions->Module Manager, there you can turn off the Main Menu Module, sorry I think I was calling it Top Menu.

However turning off the Module is not a fix, because you still probably want Joomla to make the menu’s for you. This was just my first clue that the creating of the menu links was the bottle neck.

I wan to try this, but I can’t figure out what you mean by:

“First: By turning off the Top Menu in the Module Manager,”

Do you mean the menu module highest up on list? I have no “top menu” name or template position.

Thanks for any clarification you can give.
