BulletTree Menu

The side menu you see on left column is vertical tree-like menu presentation called BulletTree. By default all submenu items are collapsed until you select the parent menu item. Submenu items of each level have their own bullets to make it easier to distinguish. Please make following steps:

  1. In module manager click on the menu module you want to use as main menu module. By default, Joomla! 1.5 comes with various menu modules and there is Left Menu module among them. That might be the perfect choice.
