RCA AMI vs Joomla Add to Menu
Full refactor of Regular Labs Add to Menu for Joomla 4/5/6.
RCA AMI keeps the workflow inside the edit form in 3 steps:
- Click Add to Menu on the editor toolbar.
- Review or adjust the popup.
- Save — menu item is created without leaving the edit screen.
Joomla 6 adds native Save to Menu options on some screens. That core path still does not replace the full article workflow AMI covers: articles, contacts, tags, feeds, users, and the full pre-save configuration popup.
Who It's For
High-volume Content Creators
Create several menu items in minutes, with minimal effort.
Multi-component sites
One popup on edit views instead of Joomla 6 core Save to Menu.
Non-technical Clients
Clients stay in the editor while you control which menus and parents appear in the popup.
