Menus

(Available in eZ publish 3.4)

Menus are found on most websites and allows the user to quickly get an overview of the site and navigate trough it.
In eZ publish menus are represented with a template function and a menu management system.

Template function

The template function allows template developers to reuse menus in all of their templates (usually pagelayout.tpl). Some menus are also bundled with eZ publish, the menus are:

  • Vertical left menu with a tree structure
  • Horizontal top menu with one level
  • Horizontal top menu with two levels

Menu management

The menu management system allows the administrator of a site to choose which menu combination the user site should have.
The choices are stored in an INI file and can be used by a template (usually pagelayout.tpl) to show hide the menus. The base design in eZ publish has this builtin as standard functionality.
