Yes, you can create whatever menus you want. The welcome app provides menus that are described in a models file but you can describe a a different menu or describe a menu in a controller or module. Just follow the patterns you see in the welcome code:
response.my_menu=[(T('Resources'), False, None, [ (T('Documentation'), False, 'http://www.web2py.com/book', [ (T('Preface'), False, 'http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/00'), (T('Introduction'), False, 'http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/01'), ]), ] )] And then in your view: {{=MENU(response.my_menu, _class='sf-menu')}}
