Hello.
I have been looking for a way to create a menu item, and some sub-menus relative to that menu.
I want this to be the menu the users see when they log in, instead of the "Messaging" Menu.
On the left bar, i want a few links to some external websites. And the body of that menu would just be a simple text.
How do i do this? Do i need to create a new module? Or is it much simpler?
Thanks in advance :)
If you want to create a menu and sub menu means, you can do it by 2 ways. Either by code or by web client.
For web client go to settings -> User interface -> Menu items and then create your menu. If it is a base menu means leave blank for parent menu and change the sequence for order. If it is submenu means choose parent menu.
Note: If you create menu by this way means, you cannot reuse it in another db's as well as when you upgrade your base, there is a chance to lose your changes.
By code means, learn inheriting a view and creating custom module. Link1 Link2

No, always make a new (small) module and use the menuitems by inheriting. For example:
