Site's menus management

In this section, we will see how to modify your site's menus and how to create new ones.

There are two ways to access the Menu Manager

1. In the left panel CLIENT / Tools / Menu (example on the left)
2. In the right panel SITE tab - There is an icon for the Menu manager

Click on the "Add a menu" button. Then, fill in the form : 

1. Code: Used by Extenso. Should not contain spaces, special characters and accents
2. Name: A reference for you. This will be the name displayed in the drop-down menu.
3. Max depth: The number of levels allowed for this navigation. We suggest a maximum of three(3) for an optimized user experience (UX).

A drop-down menu allows you to select the menu whose items need to be changed. This drop-down menu is located at the top of the page in the center. It is necessary to make a difference between modifying a menu (change the name or the number of levels specified above) and modify the elements of a menu (add or edit elements in a menu).

To manage a menu you have access to four(4) types of elements : 

1. Group: Useful to create a drop-down menu.
2. Page: Allows you to add a page already created.
3. External Link: Allows you to manually specify the URL and target.
4. Hook: Allows you to add extenso functions to the menu (Ex: Language change for multilingual site)

Changing the order of menu items

You have the option to move the items with a click / hold principle and move: "click & drag"

In Extenso you can decide to display a menu item if a user is connected (or not).  For instance, if you have a menu item called "My last Purchases", you would not want to show this to a unconnected user. In this case, you will decide to hide it if a user is not connected; but if you have a menu item "Log In", you would like to hide this for a connected user. You can easily do this with Extenso V7.
