Manual
Here is an explanation on how to use our component:
First, download the component. Then install it as any component through the extensions-install/uninstall menu.
Click here to download the component
Now, you can access the component through the joomla menu:

The screen displays the defined menus, like this:

Here you can see the defined menus (here: etet and test2). When you click on them, the settings can be edited.
Now, when creating a new menu, you get the following screen:

Now, you can define a name for your menu, this name will be displayed on the modules page. On the next line you can define the menu title.
In the left column, the properties of the section can be defined (either blog or list) in the same way as you would manually when creating a section layout item in a menu.
In the right column, the two bottom boxes allow you to define the category layout (either blog or list) in the same way as the section.
The right top properties allow you to define some extra properties:
- section: which section to include in your menu (either just one or all)
- category: which category to include in your menu (either just one or all)
-module to display: which module should automatically be displayed in the pages referenced by the menu (doesn't work in the beta component)
- template: defines a specific template for the pages in the menu (doesn't work in the beta component)
Now you can save the menu.
Select the menu(s) and press "update the selected menu(s)" and your menu (s) will be created or updated.It is important to know that every time an article is inserted / deleted, you will have to update the menu again.
Finally, don't forget to publish the corresponding module on the pages you would like.
It is a good idea to always try the beta one first as the functionality is more advanced. However you might encounter some bugs.
