Create easily editable menu using factlinks
 

Now we'll create easily editable menu with the help of factinclude , which you can place in the header.

 

The menu itmes will be taken directly from a fact. So when you place a factlink or exrenal link in the fact, it will appear as a menu item in the header. If you delete a factlink from the fact, it will disappear from the menu. The menu fact should not contain any other kind of information, but only links.

 

In order to do so, please follow these steps:

 

|1| Create a fact 

 

|2| Place there factlinks or external links which will appear as menu items.

 

|3| Put the following code in the header 

 

<span class="mainmenu"><factinclude 1541630.0 display="text" nobreak="1"/></span>

 

Note, that you should change the highlighted infoID with the id of the fact created in step |1|.

|4| You can put the following CSS code at the beginning of the menu fact (surrounded with <style type="text/css">...</style>), or you can put it in Padmin > Interface > Custom platform stylesheet.

if you want to have a separator in the header menu, you can use for example the following CSS code: 

 

span.mainmenu span.documents span.item span.text a.link{

background: url('http://test-bauplattform.factlink.net/images/1541253.0') no-repeat center left;  

display: inline-block; 

padding-left: 16px; 

margin: 4px 0px 0px 15px;  

color: #737373;  

text-decoration: none;  

font-weight: bold;

}


Note, that you should change the highlighted infoID with the id of the uploaded image on the platform that will serve as an item separator.

 

The result when using the code above is:
