As pointed out, this is handled in the Module Manager — but a couple of small, practical details are often missing from short answers. Two reliable approaches that match the layout described (different left menus for Services and Products, no left menu elsewhere):

  1. Separate menus + one module each (recommended)
  • Create a distinct Joomla menu for each left-column group (e.g., "Services Left" and "Products Left") and add the related menu items there.
  • Create a Menu module for each of those menus (Extensions → Module Manager → New → Menu), assign each module to the template’s left/sidebar position, publish it, and in the module’s Menu Assignment choose “Only on the pages selected” (tick the Services top-level menu item for the Services module, tick Products for the Products module). That makes each left menu appear only on the matching section.
  1. Single menu tree + Start/End level
  • Keep one menu tree and create multiple Menu modules that point to that same menu. Use the module parameters Start Level / End Level (if present) so a module shows only the children of the current top-level item. Assign those modules to the left position and to the appropriate parent pages.

Troubleshooting & gotchas

  • If a top-level page (Services) is not an actual menu item but only an article link, module assignment can’t detect it — add a parent menu item as a container.
  • Check the module is published to the correct template style/position and that caching is cleared.
  • Avoid publishing two identical menu modules to the same pages (will duplicate).
  • If Joomla’s built-in assignment isn’t granular enough, an extension such as Advanced Module Manager gives per-component, per-URL and many other conditions.

For : confirm Services and Products exist as real menu items, then create one left-side Menu module per section and use Menu Assignment to limit each module to its section. This pattern is stable across Joomla versions; exact label names for settings can vary slightly by version.

Hi there,

Go to "Extensions" -> "Module Manager" and then select the module that u are using for that menu and open it. In there you will see a section at the lefthand bottem side that says "Menu Assignment". Select the Radio button that says "Select Menu Item(s) from the List " and then select the menu items where u whant the menu to display.

Please remember to mark the thread as solved if you came right.

Regards,

Max
