Creating custom menus

As it is common to reference MenuSets by name in templates, you can configure sets to be created automatically during the /dev/build task. These sets cannot be deleted through the CMS.

gorriecoe\Menu\Models\MenuSet:
  sets:
    main: Main menu
    secondary: Another menu

Nested and flat menus

By default menus will be flat, which means links can not have child links associated with them. If you need a nested menu structure, you can do so by adding allow_children: true to the yml file as shown below.

gorriecoe\Menu\Models\MenuSet:
  sets:
    footer:
      title: Footer menu
      allow_children: true

Adding links to menus

Once you have created your menus you can add links.

Usage in template

<ul>
    <% loop MenuSet('footer') %>
        <li>
            {$Me}
        </li>
    <% end_loop %>
</ul>
