Menu Configuration

The OneEntry Platform allows you to create hierarchical (nested) navigation structures.

The menu structure is based on the pages already present in your project.

You can choose:

  • Which pages will be included in the menu
  • The order in which they will be displayed to the user
  • Child pages that form the menu's nesting

Name and Marker​

You can change the menu name and its marker in the two corresponding sections presented on this page.

Marker

Since the marker is used by the source code of your application, make sure that changing it does not lead to any technical issues in your application.

The menu structure configuration block is a list of pages with additional tools.

Checkbox "Show Menu"​

The "Show Menu" flag is responsible for toggling the view of the menu list:

  • Flag not activated — all pages created in the project are displayed in the list. This mode is convenient for adding pages to the menu.
  • Flag activated — the list transforms and displays only the items included in the menu, maintaining their sequence and nesting. This mode is convenient for adjusting order and hierarchy.
ℹ️Checkbox is remembered

The value of the "Show Menu" checkbox is now saved between sessions. When reopening the menu editor — if "Show Menu" was enabled, the item table is immediately loaded in the correct view. Previously, the checkbox was reset, and you had to enable it again.

After any drag-and-drop, the table is automatically refreshed from the server to ensure the order of rows matches what the user will see on the site.

On the right side, above the list, there are two counters. The "Pinned Menu Items" counter indicates the number of pinned pages. The "Included in Menu" counter indicates the number of pages added to the menu.

Below is a list of pages with tools. Each of the tools will be discussed in more detail below.

Adding Pages​

If the "Show Menu" flag is not activated, the menu block will reflect all pages created in the project. Select the pages you want to add to the menu and activate them using the toggle Optimize images.

Some pages may contain child pages, forming a hierarchical structure. You can add child pages to the menu by opening their list under the parent page, clicking on Optimize images, and then selecting the necessary pages from the opened list.

If you need to add all child pages, click on the parent page's icon Optimize images.

Changing the Order of Menu Items​

You can also configure the order in which menu items will be displayed.

Activate the "Show Menu" mode in the upper left part of the menu. Grab the menu item you want to move by clicking and holding the icon Optimize images, and then move that item. Changes will be saved automatically.

Order of Pages

The order set by the user is not taken into account in the general list of pages.

Pinning Menu Items​

You can pin a menu item by clicking on the icon Optimize images.

The title of a menu item can differ from the page name. It can be configured by going to the page section in the left menu, selecting the desired page from the list, and then going to the editing section of that page.

In the "Main Data" subsection, in the "Details" block, there is a form for "Menu Item Title for Page." Enter a new menu item title for this page.

Changes will be saved automatically.

Nesting​

The menu supports nesting, thus forming a hierarchical structure. To create nesting at the menu level, nesting must be created at the page level.

To do this, go to the pages section in the left menu, select the page you want to configure, and open the editing mode. Go to the "Categories" subsection and specify the parent page.

After that, you can return to the menu configuration section. The created nesting will also be displayed for the menu items.

Deleting a Menu​

Go to the "Menu" section in the left menu. Select the menu you want to delete and click on the delete icon Edit. Confirm the action in the pop-up window.
