I would like to demonstrate to you the new feature of removing and adding a prefix to your Component Name in the Joomla menu. Take a look at the menu there's this little arrow in front of Component Builder. That's the prefix we talking about. In the past it would add that automatically. Now it will still do that but you can change it.

### Global Tab - Add Menu Prefix

Go to the global options of a component and under the Global tab you will see a new area called Add Menu Prefix. There's a little description. You can say No. It won't have any prefix. You can change this to any other prefix you want. You don't need to add a space. The space is automatically done. You can check out this list.

### Link To A List Of HTML Character Entities

There is a link to a list of HTML character entities that you need to use. This will translate to that arrow. You need to make sure to use something that can be placed inside of an XML file. That means that if you want to use strange characters like that arrow, you will need to use the HTML. You could also use your company name or you can use anything. It'll add that as a prefix to the component name.

To illustrate this, let me change this a little bit. I am grabbing the the value, the one without the x is the one we looking for. This the &#8857 value I'm going to grab that little circle with a dot. Well let's take the one with the Circle in a circle that looks nice. I'm going to take that one. I'm going to add it in. I'm going to click save. It's asking me to add some other info as well. Try again, save and close. Let's go and compile one of the [00:02:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwZyhKp_L38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m19s) demo components. You can say Demo and Compile. Install it. You'll see it has this little circle next to the demo name, that's the way we can change that little prefix. The option to remove it altogether, [00:02:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwZyhKp_L38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m45s) is also there. Saying no prefix, save and close. Let's do it again. Compile and Install and now you'll see it's just the way usual components will look. There is the Demo. This little Prefix can be added or removed. Thanks to this new feature.
