Q: I cannot find the parameter in deluxe tabs file "data.js" for umlaute a, u. I want it to set manually. 
A:  You can save your data file in UTF-8 in Windows version of DeluxeTuner v3.2.9.
You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode.
Enter these symbols and save your data file.
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manuallychange your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
ä 
ü 
  var menuItems = [
 ["ä....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["ü....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I am looking to integrate your menu system into a CMS (Content Management System) such as Joomla. I was curious if you have any supporting documentation as to any steps that could make this any easier; or if its anything you have looked at previously. I know some menu systems actually have export modules in which it will export their system to a CMS compatible template; does this menu software have any of the functionality; or modules (even 3rd party modules) that perform similar function?
 
A:  Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Joomla extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files.

// Select all records from table "menuTable" 
$allItems = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM menuTable;'); 
// Extract items data from database and build Javascript code for menuItems 
while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))
