Joomla 1.6 Menu Manager
- Access both the Menu Item and Menus list from new Linkbar.
- Integrated management of trashed articles.
- New filtering options.
- When menu items are unpublished or trashed, all of the children are also set to the same state.
- A new safety feature is that you can only delete items permanently when filtering only on trashed items.
- Batch set the access level of selected menu items.
- Copy or move menus from one menu to another and also choose the new parent item.
- New Toolbar actions to save the current menu item as a copy, or to save it and then start a new menu item without going back to the list. These icons should become standard across all core components where applicable.
- The state counts are now linked back to the menu item list and set the appropriate filter automatically for you.
- All the modules that are mapped to the menu are displayed.
