Description
The navigation menus are used to guide users to other sections of the site. There are two menus available, the header menu and side menu. You can use one or both.
Adding and Managing Menu Items
To access the menu edit page, navigate to Structure -> Menus -> Main Navigation/Header Menu. You may also hover over the menu itself on the page and use the context menu to go directly to the edit page.
You will be presented with the following page:
Here you can Add, edit, delete or rearrange menu items. Note that items are generally added when creating content, as you can select a menu in the sidebar. See content creation section for more information. Navigating to “Add link” or “Edit” will bring up the fields page.
- Menu link title: Title that will appear in the menu.
- Link: Location the menu link navigates to. When pointing to an internal page, the title can be searched in the field and the system will automatically create a link to it. The advantage of this approach is it will correctly adjust the link if you modify the url of the page. When linking to a local resource such as a pdf file, please leave out the domain name. For example, https://example.com/documents/example.pdf would be /documents/example.pdf
- Enabled: Displays the item. If you’d like the item temporarily hidden in the menu but still available in the future, this check can be removed.
- Description: Text shown when hovering over a link. A proper menu link title is usually sufficient.
- Parent link: This indicates where the item will show up in the menu hierarchy. This is visually done in the previous screen that shows the entire menu.
- Weight: Another factor in the menu hierarchy. This controls the order of the items under each parent item. Can be visually ordered on the menu page.
