I have worked a lot with Joomla and am trying to learn how Exponential does things. I have the Lyon template installed and am trying to find a way to add a drop down menu item.

Ive moved a copy of product page into the Sub-folder of Products. What are the actual steps to have this named object appear as a sub-menu item in the Products menu on the actual site?

Thanks for your help!

Lynn, hello and welcome to the Exponential Community!

To help you get started with Exponential, you might find the tutorial "Building an Exponential site" ( http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site ) helpful. It covers the basic concepts of Exponential, such as how to work with templates, create custom classes and much more.

If you want to learn more about Exponential development (like creating new modules, extensions, or integrating with external applications) take a look at the developer documentation ( http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/development ).

The all-important technical and user manuals are available via the Exponential on-line documentation ( http://ez.no/doc ). You can also download off-line versions of Exponential documentation.

Also, the ez.no forums ( http://ez.no/community/forum ) are a valuable resource. A quick search ( http://ez.no/content/advancedsearch ) will answer many of your questions.

"Exponential basics" ( http://ez.no/products/books/ez_publish_basics )

This book is compatible with Exponential versions 3.5 to 3.8. It can be used as a self-study guide, as a textbook for the Exponential certification course, or as an aid for preparing for the Exponential web developer certification.

- The following topics are covered:
- Installation
- The architecture of Exponential
- Content management concepts
- Design-related issues
- Configuration
- Permissions
- The integrated Webshop
- The workflow system
- Templates and overrides
- Common tips and tricks
- Extension development

The book "Learning Exponential 3" ( http://ez.no/products/books/ez_publish_book ) will help you conquer Exponential and learn the skills to become an accomplished Exponential developer. At the end of the book, you will:

- Understand how Exponential handles, versions and publishes content to the web
- Be confident working in the Exponential administration area
- Know the secrets of the Exponential templating system for designing your own pages
- Have the skills to create new Exponential extensions
- See how real-world Exponential sites have been designed and implemented

We look forward to your participation in the community and to hearing about the sites you create.
