Manage Drupal menus

Menus are the main way through which your visitors find their way around your website.

There are three main menus in a Business Web Factory Drupal website and you can add your own.

  1. The “primary links” menu is also known as the top menu and is displayed at the top of the screen. This should be kept to a minimum and restricted to the main pages.
  2. The left menu is the menu where all your content categories, and sub-categories, should appear. This creates a natural look and feel for your website.
  3. The footer menu appears across the bottom of the screen and should be seen as a quick route from the bottom of the screen to the home page and other major pages.

To manage the menus…

  1. Select Administer from the left menu
  2. Find Site building on the right hand side of the screen
  3. Click on menus.

 Creating a Custom menu

  2. Enter the Title The new menu will not appear until it has one or more items.

To add a menu item to an existing menu.

  1. Click on the list tab and find the menu you want to add the item to.
  2. Click on Add item
  3. Enter the title – this is the name of the menu item that you want to appear.
  4. Enter the path to the page to be displayed.
  5. Select a weight to decide where in the menu it will appear. Remember that items with a light weight (minus number) will float to the top and heavy items (plus numbers such as 9 or10) will sink the item to the bottom of the menu.

Copy and paste the path if you want the item to appear in more than one menu.
