So, you've created your first table, now how do you show it to the world? Like a lot of Joomla! components the content is displayed by a direct menu link.

Menus?

So, the first thing to do after creating and publishing your table is to create an EasyTable Pro menu that links to your table. The first step is to open the Menu you want the Table to show up in. You could select Menu Manager but it's quicker to just select the Menu directly as shown to the right (in this example we're adding the table to "Main Menu").

Menu Manager

Once we're in the Menu Manager we simply create the new menu item by clicking on the "New" button in the Menu Manager Toolbar as shown below.

New Menu

When creating a menu item in Joomla you must specify the type of content you're linking to, with EasyTable Pro installed you will see a new menu group called, appropriately EasyTable Pro. If you have previously created menu items using the free EasyTable for J! and want to convert them to EasyTable Pro menu items you will need to open them and change their type to the correct EasyTable Pro menu type.

Click on the EasyTable Pro menu group will reveal to three EasyTable Pro menu types available.

Menu Type

As you can see there are three EasyTable Pro! Menu types, the table layout view, the list of table view and the Record view (which is only available in EasyTablePro!).

As you can see from the three tooltips EasyTable Pro lets you show a specific table, any record for the table or a list of published tables.
