title: Adding Joomla menu for new component directly in DB (Joomla 2.5)
body: <p>I want to add a menu for a new component in a development stage. Since it is not ready for installation, I didn't create manifest (xml) file. I just want to add a menu item among components in the backend directly from the DB. </p>
  
  <p>I got the information <a href="http://www.viztech.co.in/blog/how-to-add-menu-and-sub-menu-in-the-joomla-administration-menu-for-a-component" rel="nofollow">here</a>. But it is for joomla 1.5 - the table it mentions doesn't exist in joomla 2.5, so (obviously) it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas to do the same thing in joomla 2.5?</p>
