Mega Menu In SP Page Builder
Alex Nejati
Hello there,
Could anyone guide me in how to creat a mega menu in SP Page Builder? All I can see here is that it is possible with Helix, but, helix is an independant page builder, isn't it? There is no such a guidance in this forum, also I could not find anything on the web.
Thanks!

Accepted AnswerHi Alex,
MegaMenu is part of Helix template code, this is not a module that you can anywhere you want.
Template =/= component or module
If you need MegaMenu as module, on Joomla Extension Directory (JED) find MegaMenu extension, and use module from it inside Module addon.
Why you cannot use Helix and Menu from it, now you are trying to reinvent the wheel. In Joomla you have to use a template anyway to be able to display a component.
I hope I helped.

Accepted AnswerThanks Paul!
I'm a bit confused now. Apologies if my knowledge about Joomla and its aspects is not comprehensive enough to understand your suggestion. As far as I could get from your answer, seems I can use both Helix and SP page builder together in my Joomla website, is it correct?
I have no problem using templates, meanwhile, there I don't insist to use a mega menu as a module. The only thing I'mafter is to have a mega menu in my current website. So, is it possible to use Helix? If so, could you please advise some sources to get how? The tutorial I saw in Jommshaper was based on installing a fresh Joomla website with Helix quick installer package.
Appreciate your assistance.

Accepted AnswerYes, it's how Joomla works. I strongly recommend to sign-in to Joomla lessons (localy or online) if you plan to work with this CMS in longer period. You will certainly learn more in an hour than by reading a screed of information here and there. On Forum we cannot teach Joomla basics.
As I said, MegaMenu is part of all Helix based template and it's displayed in the header, Logo + Menu in that area.
In general MegaMenu is that same as Menu, but it has more features. :))
