Hi Sachi you can edit your main.php layout under app/protected/views/layout/main.php it looks like this by default




<div id="mainmenu">

		<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.CMenu',array(

			'items'=>array(

				array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('/site/index')),

				array('label'=>'About', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),

				array('label'=>'Contact', 'url'=>array('/site/contact')),

				array('label'=>'Login', 'url'=>array('/site/login'), 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->isGuest),

				array('label'=>'Logout ('.Yii::app()->user->name.')', 'url'=>array('/site/logout'), 'visible'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest)

			),

		)); ?>

	</div><!-- mainmenu -->





<div id="mainmenu">

		<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.CMenu',array(

			'items'=>array(

				array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('/site/index')),

				array('label'=>'About', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),


// new menu items depends where you want them i am gonna ad one after the about us page 

// the format is label is your menu name that appears in menu and url is the link 


                                array('label'=>'New Page', 'url'=>array('/site/new_page',)),


				array('label'=>'Contact', 'url'=>array('/site/contact')),

				array('label'=>'Login', 'url'=>array('/site/login'), 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->isGuest),

				array('label'=>'Logout ('.Yii::app()->user->name.')', 'url'=>array('/site/logout'), 'visible'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest)

			),

		)); ?>

	</div><!-- mainmenu -->

Thank you very much alirz23.But I add code as you said like behind.

<?php $this->widget(‘zii.widgets.CMenu’,array(

		'items'=&gt;array(


			array('label'=&gt;'Home', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/index')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Gallery', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/gallery',)),


			array('label'=&gt;'About', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/page', 'view'=&gt;'about')),...

But my web app menu bar didn’t show that Gallery menu item.How I show that Gallery in menu bar like Home,About Us,…

I didn’t change any file.I change that layout/main.php only as you said .But it did’t show.Therefore I create new app and did like before.That’s work.I don’t know what the error is.But I get it in my new web app.Thanks alirz23.
