Now I would like to add it as a restricted menu item in the "User Menu"

How would I do this? What Menu Item Type should I use?

thank you!

Answer 1

Go to joomla admin,

Create a new menu item.

You will find the option for access level at the bottom side of the page.

I have not use the "Special" access level so i don't know that whats it doing but if you select the "Registered" then this menu item will display only when any user is logged in to the site.

Answer 2

Slightly OT: There is a quite good book on Jommla! extension development, Learning Joomla! 1.5 Extension Development., contains (among others) topic on a menu development.
