How to save 5 minutes every time you create an article...
Written by Barnaby Dixon
Save 5 minutes every time you or your users create an article or a category, by automatically creating a menu item!
Kazaam! is an automatic menu manager. Just plug it in, turn it on and it’ll start working for you. Never spend your time creating a menu item again!
Certified for 
Works like magic!
This is a plugin that creates a menu, and automatically maintains it. You can see the menu in your Joomla menu manager, and use it exactly like any other menu. It is a tree menu, and it maintains your category and article tree structure.
You can select which categories you want to include, and whether you want to also automatically create menu items for articles.
It's simple. It's efficient.
Your categories will be used as category blog menu items, and your articles will be used as single article menu items.
Your new menu items will also take on your category or article parameters, such as whether they are published, are available to registered users, and so forth.
Changes to your categories or articles will be instantly reflected in your Kazaam! menu.
Faster than ever
Kazaam is built to save you time and effort – which you can use for things that really matter.
We have just upgraded Kazaam to be faster and more efficient than ever!

Its a problem that if i remove an article, the link still remains in the menu.
Why isn't this recursive (using J 3.0)? Having an "include sub categories" flag instead of having to include every single category would make this powerful plugin almost perfect.
Great tool! Is it possible to sort the items?
Awesome plugin that should be part of Joomla's core functionality! This plugin enables many teachers in a school maintain their own department sections directly from the front-end. A couple features I would love though:
Ability to add new categories without having to rebuild the whole menu. Each rebuild means I have to go to my alias menu and point to all the major categories again.
Also, I'd love to be able to customize the display of the category view so it can be list instead of blog on some levels of hierarchy. Again, editing the menu items directly result in getting reset back to blog on rebuild.
Another issue I found: If an article title in a Kazaam menu is not unique, every time an article is edited, another duplicate menu entry is created for that menu item. For example, whenever I edit an article in a particular category, the "Contact" article in that category gets another menu item. After a few edits in other articles, "Contact" has multiplied several times. As much as I'd hate to, I may have to abandon this plugin unless this can be resolved.
You're Great, your module is GREAT !!!
Just a question :
Can we have more than one KAZAAM Menu ??
Hi there,
Thanks! And no, you can't, but you can easily create many menu modules to display the content from the Kazaam menu if you like.
All the best, Barnaby Dixon
You guys made what is needed the most! There are two important options missing if Im not mistaken.
1. Module Assignment: There needs to be a Kazaam module that assigns itself to the newly created menu item! Now the KAZAAM! Menu Selection (only on the pages selected) becomes blank with each new Category item. So now my Kazaam menu dissapears from the selected articles.
2. Display/Hide option of the category name in the menu.
3. Basic menu styling options.
Keep it up!
Hello, congratulations for the excellent plugin.
I wish it had the function of choosing the "excluded categories", so I could pick and choose which should not appear on the menu and all new categories appear automatically included in the menu.
Thanks
great plugin,but i got some issues.i wannt control the sort of automatic menu items which generated from articles . For example i wannt them sort by article's sort or creat time and so on, can you tell me
I am yet to use this yet, but I'm excited about it.. about time I say! :-) any news on K2 support yet?
Hi, this is an awesome plugin! I just seem to have trouble using "menu-item alias" to link to items in Kazaam Menu Type and also cannot save checked menu items in module assignments... Otherwise, pretty awesome!
Great Plugin, but I have a question.
You claim that it will inherit permissions of the category eg: Public / Registered...But it does not do it for me.
I set the category options to be "registered" but when i create a narticle in that category, the menu item created is still publc.
Any help ?
Thanks
Hi there Greg,
Let me look into that and I'll get back to you.
All the best - Barnaby Dixon
Nice plugin. Certainly does what it says on the tin! Any chance you can provide a version that also works with K2 content items (and/or other CCKs) ?
Sure I'll try to add K2 support in a future release
Simple and fast. Guys you rock!!!
Been waiting for an addon like this for J 2.5!
Great!! Enjoy :-D
