  • Page Total - total number of entries shown for tasks marked as (Special)
  • Limit per page - number of entries per page
  • Show Menu name/Title - show/hide the title at the top of the page.
  • Page Title - of you enter something here, it will be used as page title instead of the menu name or directory title in the configuration. This setting will not work with JReviews section and category menus where the section and category titles are used and it will not work on advanced search menu items.

  • List view template - overrides the section and category setting of the template manager (Tableview, Blogview or Thumbview)
  • Template suffix - only necessary if you want to use a different theme file for this menu item by coping the original file and adding a suffix
  • SEF Menu Name - if filled in, this is the text that will be used for the SEF urls for menu types other than section and category lists. It's especially useful for languages with special characters.
