Menus
Menu Management allows content managers to manage the C-nav menu links (tabs, category links and whatnot) for the entire site (or sub/boutique site), from one centralized location. Any number of menus can be created, but only one can be activated at a time (unless you opt to use multiple menus to support subordinate or boutique sites). Each menu can support any number of links. Please keep in mind that design / layout requirements may result in limitations to the number of links that can be gracefully presented in a particular menu location.
The Menu Management Page
The menu management page contains four sections, three of which are contained in the menu management form.
- Menu Listing: located to the left of the menu forms with links to each menu stored in the system and a link to create a new menu
- Menu Settings: located at the top of the menu form with controls to set the name of the menu and select if it is the default menu
- Menu Item Fields: located in the middle of the form with fields to control a new, or select, menu item
- Menu Item Listings: located at the bottom of the menu form listing all the items contained in each of the four menu locations
The Menu Listing
The menu listing is located to the left of the menu form. All menus stored for the web site will be listed, each with the following information:
- Menu name: the name as set in the menu name field of the menu form
- The user whom created the menu
- The number of page templates currently assigned to the menu (note that this count includes only page templates directly assigned to a menu - the default menu would be utilized by all page templates that are set to used the default menu)
- A link to delete the menu (this link is not available to the default menu)
A link to create a new menu will be located at the bottom of the menu listing.
