Nav List¶
The Nav List is the portal's menu. It builds itself from the portal's pages, so adding a page adds a menu entry without touching the widget. It usually sits in the sidebar of a layout and lists every page that has Show in navigation turned on.
See also Nav Link, Sidebar Layout and Breadcrumb.
Using it¶
Drop a Nav List into the sidebar slot of a Sidebar Layout. It immediately lists the portal's pages in navigation order. Turn on Group items by module to show pages under their module headings. Set Orientation to Horizontal when the list sits in a top bar instead of a sidebar.
Options¶
| Option | Values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group items by module | Checkbox | Off | Shows pages under the heading of their navigation module |
| Orientation | Horizontal · Vertical | Vertical | Whether the entries run down the page or across it |
| Match | Ignore query, Exact match, Subroute, Prefix | Ignore query | How the current address is compared with each entry to decide which one is highlighted as active. See Nav Link |
| Variant | Theme variants | Default | Picks the widget's look from the theme. See Variants |
| Custom Style | CSS for List, Links and Groups | Width 100% | Extra styling for each part |
| Box Style | Sizing and spacing | None | The box around the list |
Tips¶
A few things about where the entries come from.
- Only pages with a route appear in the list. A page with Show in navigation turned off stays reachable by its address but is left out.
- The list belongs in the layout, not on each page, so every page shares the same menu.
- For a single hand-picked link, use a Nav Link.
