The Main menu is how users typically navigate an xTupleCommerce site. Built with a series of adjacent tabs, each Main menu option may lead to single content page or to a series of nested submenus, having their own linked pages underneath. Typical Main menu options might include (but are not limited to) the following: Product Catalog, Products, About Us, Blog, FAQs, Testimonials, and Contact Us. Menu items may be added manually to the menu or they can be added within the content type.
To add a new option to the Main menu, follow these steps:
Navigate to .
Click the button.
You will be presented with the following options:
Enter the title you want displayed on the menu option (e.g., or ).
Enter the URL/path to the page you want users to be directed to when they click on the menu option. Any valid URL can be entered here. However, for internal pages that are part of your xTupleCommerce portal, the abbreviated pathname can and will be used (e.g., node/32).
Text entered here will appear as a tool tip when users hover their mouse over the menu option.
Select to activate the menu option. If not selected, the menu will be hidden.
If selected, any child menu items will be expanded and displayed by default when the menu option is selected. If not selected, the submenus will be collapsed into the parent menu by default.
Indicate where in the menu structure you want the menu option to appear. Specify "Main menu" to have the menu option appear at the Main menu's top level.
Use weight to help with the sequence order of menu items. Heavier links (i.e., bigger number) will sink and the lighter links will be positioned nearer the top.
Click the button.
To edit an already-existing menu, follow these steps:
Navigate to .
Select the link next to the menu option you want to modify.
Make any desired changes.
Click the button.
You can change the order of items in a menu using the following steps:
Navigate to .
Place your mouse on the cross hairs located just to the left of the menu item.
Again, using your mouse, drag the cross hairs either up or down to change its location in the menu structure.
You can also create parent/child menu items by dragging the cross hairs to the right. When dragged to the right, the menu option will become a child menu of the menu item just above it.
Parent menu items are top-level menu items. Child menu items are submenus.
Click the button to ensure your changes are saved.
