joomla article list with descriptions - menu

On the Joomla frontpage i want to have this kind of menu
Every item has a title and description and links to some article.
This list must be available for modification by administrator.
Is it possible to do it? I know how to modify menu to look like this, but standart menu doesn't support descriptions.

One option is to make it like so:
Make ordenery menus using Joomla! menu manager
Then make modules for every menu item and add menu link title and description
Make all menu link title on the module linked to the orginal menus you made on the first step
Unpublish menu module and publish these modules you just made into to the same place where was menu module

What template or library can I use to create documentation sites with expanding / collapsing menus? Example provided

We're using the online version (office 365). Here's an example:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-and-edit-a-wiki-dc64f9c2-d1a2-44b5-ac59-b9d535551a32?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
You mean to say a dropdown menu with links, like Products Templates and Support menu in the link you have shared?
If yes then you need to customize the top navigation using css and jquery.
Updated: You can create global navigation. In that create headings and add link under headings.
Steps:
1. Activate SharePoint publishing feature in site
2. In site settings page, click on Navigation link.
3. Now Scroll down to edit the global(top) navigation. Click on Global heading and under that add headings. Under each heading add respective links. This will create your menu with expand collapse functionality.
4. Style them as per your requirement using css.
This settings will be applicable to entire site. No need for template or library.
For more complex requirement, I would suggest to use java script.

Create menus, sub menus and actions

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.
Basically:
I want a menu on the top of the page, and it has to be the first one.
This menu needs to be the menu users see when they login.
On the left bar of OpenERP, i just want to add a few external links.
On the body of the page, i just want to write some welcoming text.
How do i do this? Do i need to create a new module? Or is it much simpler?
Thanks!
You must create a new module see here.
And on this module, you must create an XML file to define new menu entries like this :
and if you need a sub-menu (under My Menu):

Joomla menu assignment not working for search page

I have a few modules assigned only for Home page but by some reason they all showing on search page. I don't need any modules showing on search page - how to disable it?
You likely need to make a menu item for the search page. Without a menu item, many pages will revert to the homepage link as the active menu item, which will cause this to happen.
If you haven't already, make a hidden menu for your site and then add the menu item for the search results page to that menu. This way it doesn't affect your main menu.
So first go Menus -> Menu Manager -> Add New Menu. Give it a name basically. (I usually call mine "Hidden".) Then go into that menu and add a menu item like normal for the Search Result type.

Hiding Menu System

I'm looking for some code on how to create a hiding menu. Basically I'd like to have four links in a horizontal menu. When you click on a link I'd like it to hide the others perhaps above or below to provide a text box. This box would also have information in it that we be inputted by the designer only.
I have a link to preview a template for an example below:

Check out these links for examples of Accordion menus. I find the Viral one to be easier to use, however the jQuery UI & API explain more in detail how it works.

Orchard CMS 1.5 Navigation sub menus

New to Orchard. I have been looking for some documentation on how the menus actually work. It appears that you can have hierarchical menus, but I cannot find any good information on this.
It took me a while to figure this out too. You can see how to create a navigational menu in this video (around 8:45, but i'd recommend watching the entire video).
Basically, you need to drag & drop an item below and to the right of another content item in order to make a nested menu item.
Yes, you can. Since 1.5 you can create hierarchical menus from Navigation admin screen. Hierarchy (and reordering) of items can easily be created by drag & drop.
Navigation screen is used to define your menus. In order to display a defined menu you need to put Menu Widget in the zone of your choice. When you create that widget you need to choose which menu is it going to display. Besides the choice of the menu, you can also choose some other optional parameters if you need to customize the display more (eg. display only certain level).
