This page finishes one job: visitors can open the right pages from the header, and from the footer.
By default, only the owner. The look of the components is in Choose the components.
Where
- Site → Header and footer (
/admin/settings/nav). - Edit the header menu in the header block, and the footer links in the footer menu block.
- Press Save at the bottom.
Add and reorder
- Add a link row. The button may say Add or Add a row; use the one on screen.
- Fill the label. With more than one language, switch the tab and fill it again.
- Choose the link target:
- A page on the site
- News, custom content, the Docs center
- Entrances for modules that are on (the shop, product categories, the court-auction list, Booking, and so on)
- A custom URL (external, or a special path)
- Open in a new tab, when you need it
- Drag to reorder. You can make a two-level group (a parent plus child links). A group can have a title link, the page the group name opens, using the same targets as the child links, including the shop and product categories. You can also choose None, so the name only opens the submenu.
- After saving, click through on the public site, or in a private window.
With the mega menu on, a group opens as full-width columns. Set the links for each column in the menu. See Choose the components.
Each group allows at most 6 columns, and each column at most 12 links (72 in total). Saving fails, with a specific reason, if you go over the limit, leave a label blank, or leave a group with no links at all.
Notes
- If a module is off, its target may be missing from the list, or it will not appear on the public site.
- For a large change, publish the new pages first, then point the menu at them in one pass, so visitors do not land on drafts.
- The old main menu on the basic settings page now lives here. That page only links across.
Check it
- On the public header, the order and the labels are right.
- Every link opens a published page (private window, signed out).
- The phone menu (the hamburger) reaches the same links.
- Two-level and mega: every child link opens, and no group is empty.
When it sticks
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The menu links to a page and the public site returns 404 | That page is still a draft, or the slug changed. |
| A page exists and is not in the menu | The page list order does not add itself to the menu. Add it here. |
| The second language still shows Chinese | That language's label is empty. See Translate the content. |
| Save fails, and it says the submenu total or a column is too large | A mega group is over 72 links, or one column is over 12. Split into more groups, or remove links from that column. |
