  So I am trying to add an item to the main menu that links to a specific category id for news.
  
  I have changed my category registry to use a news specific category and I want to be able to build links based on category. What I am trying to achieve is sort of what topics did in .7xx. I just need to be able to link to s pecific category now for news.
  
  In the main menu what would be the syntax? I keep trying to get it but I'm not getting it, nor can I find a guide and I have searched for 20 minutes for it in the forums.
  
  Lets assume the category I want to highlight is 10006. In the URL field how would I link it correctly?
  
  {News:10006:1} or something like that?

  Additionally, I am adding links that reference the Pages module:
  
  {Pages:view:display:2} yields: index.php?module=Pages&type=display&func=view
  
  I need to get: index.php?module=Pages&func=display&pageid=2
  
  But this doesn't work: {Pages::display:pageid=2} it yields: index.php?module=Pages&type=display
  
  Please help me understand... :( This is prolly so simple.
  
  I know I could just put in the index.php?... in the URL but is that the best way to do it?

  It's bas ackwards... err counter intuitive to PN I mean. I looked at the blocks module and found it expects the format of:
  
  {module:function[&param=value[&param=value[etc.]]]:type}
  
  So for News categories you'd want;
  
  {News:main&cat=10006:user} (the user is optional and I'm assuming cat over catid or whatever the News module uses)
  
  And for Pages it'd be:
  
  {Pages:display&pagid=2:user}
  
  And thanks for asking this question, it was on my 'figure it out later' list yet was holding me back from building a display menu to organise my site with.
  
  EDIT:
  
  This is of course assuming that you're using the extended menu block over the default one.

  Doesn't everyone ;)
  
  Thanks for the help, I'll try this out in a bit. Currently I'm trying to put some paypal buttons up AND stay XHTML 1.0 strict compliant

  Just put your icon image-path on the image field for each link

  Thank you for the answer, but I made it:
  
  I put there all the URL (http://www.XXXXXXX/icon.jpg)
  then I click on "update" and it disappears (complete white field) :(
  
  maybe it's a "file attribute" problem (jpg/php or HTML)?
  or maybe an icon size problem?
  
  Or maybe some bug updating form 764?

  Omit the URL, try just with the path /icon.jpg

  Thanks, I solved :)
  I had to unckeck the "eng" language form the "active" field (I'm italian), maybe it's a zikula translation's bug?
  I don't care, now it accepts the icons.
  
  But still it create a new blank line automatically every time I click on "update" (without click on "add a new link")
  But I don't care now, it works

  FYI, this seems to work fine in the standard menu block as well. Examples:
  

  Code

  {Pagesetter:viewpub&tid=3&pid=2}
  {Users:loginscreen}
