Creating and editing your content menus are done in Navigation → Section Menu Editor in the CMS. For the current user interface and updated features, you'll need to be running version 4.06 or higher and request that we enable 'Section Menu Editor' for you. We'll examine your current menu data on request of the feature (prior to enabling), to ensure a smooth transition from old to new. Interested? Contact us to get started! If you are still using the classic menu editor (which used to be in the 'Advanced Content' menu), note that it is now located in 'Section Menu Editor'. |
Creating a New Menu
- In the CMS, select Navigation → Section Menu Editor.
- Click Create New Menu.
- In Label, give your menu a name. Note that this won't be displayed anywhere as it's just a name for internal use.
- Click Save. The menu is added to the dropdown list.
- Next, click Add Item To Menu.
- In Label, name the menu item. This label will be displayed in the menu.
- If you want an icon to appear next to the menu item label, in Icon Name, select one from the dropdown list.
- In Menu Type, select the landing page type for the menu item:
page - links to a page on your site (and toggle to select options for the page: include in the Site Map, Open in New Window, and show/hide page)
product - links to a product (to land on the product details page)
category - links to a product category
link - enter the path of the destination page (can be external to your site) and toggle 'Open a New Window' on if you want the landing page to open in a separate window.
For links, remember:
- Valid URLs must start with either http:// or https://
- Javascript code must start with javascript:
9. Repeat steps 5-9 to create additional menu items.
Tip After you have created the menu items, you can drag and drop to re-order them if you decide the sequence isn't right.
10. To save all changes to this menu, click the Save button in the top right corner.
Adding Access Options to a Menu or Menu Item
You can configure who can access a menu or an individual menu item. Next to the menu or menu item, select Options → Associated Roles. By default, each item you add to a section menu will inherit the role permissions set for the menu. However, you can configure different access to individual menu items if required.
- When you first create a new section menu, it will be linked to ALL menu codes. You can toggle off the ones you don't want right here.
- Click Confirm to exit the box.
- Click Save to save any changes made to the menu.
