Custom menu

Overview

In BlueSpice 4, an additional custom menu is integrated as a mega menu. This menu can be created and edited by users with admin rights. The link-icon (1) is only displayed once the corresponding page has been created.

If you don't see the menu icon in your wiki, create the following page: MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header

Custom menu: (1) open menu, (2) edit link, (3) menu items

Visual edit mode

Visual menu editor is available from BlueSpice 4.2.

After creating the necessary page, you can now edit the menu.

Click Edit menu (2) to switch to edit mode.

If you are just starting out with the custom menu, you can start by editing the default Nav Menu item.

editing interface: menu header (1), edit header name (2), add link to heading (3), add new menu header (4)

To edit the NavMenu item:

1. Click the icon for opening the edit dialog. (1)
2. Click Edit Node.
3. Enter the text for your menu header. In a multilingual wiki, you can also enter a message key.

Adding links in source editing mode

To create a menu header:

1. Create the first menu header. Menu headers are marked with a single asterisk (*);

   * Important pages
   

2. Add the links for this menu header. Links are marked with two asterisks (**) and have the following syntax:

   ** target page|label
   

Example:

* Important pages
** Special:Blog|Blog
** IMS:Policies|Policies
* BlueSpice
** https://bluespice.com|BlueSpice Homepage
** https://bluespice.com/category/news-know-how|News

After the custom menu has been created, it can now be modified directly via the Edit menu link (see screenshot above).

Delete the custom menu

To remove the custom menu link-icon from the wiki, the MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header page must be deleted. The page can be restored via the deletion log.
