How to get article from mysql to joomla menu

I am very new to all this, I successfully set up joomla. I could login to the admin page and create sample articles, life is good so far. I put all articles in one folder called "Articles" under joomla folder and populated my database with links. Is this the best place to keep my articles?

my article names are as below 1_1_1.html ..... n_n_nn.html Now I want a selected article to showup under specific submenu.

Which file in joomla folder I should modify and How? If there are any videos to understand this concept I would greatly appreciate. I am sorry, if its a very basic question.

No need to modify any file for this at all. So you've created the article and now you need to tell Joomla to put that article into a menu so that your users can get to it. So

  • go into the administrator and go to Menus | Main Menu | Add New Menu Item
  • Click on "select" beside "Menu Item Type"
  • Select "Single Article"
  • Now select the article you want displayed in the "Select Article" area on the right hand side
  • Enter a "Menu Title" for the menu item (this is the text that is displayed to your users)
  • Since you want this to be a submenu select the parent menu in the "Parent Item" section
