menu.ini [Leftmenu_my_mega]

The block [Leftmenu_my_mega] of settings/menu.ini, with 7 setting(s).

admin4's mega menu of the Dashboard tab ([TopAdminMenu] MegaMenuTabs[]=dashboard, [Topmenu_dashboard]
MegaMenuTemplate, drawn by parts/my/mega_menu.tpl through parts/ini_menu.tpl). Not a left menu: the Dashboard tab's
left menu is [Leftmenu_my], one list. This section only sorts the tab's functions into groups and reuses the menus
that define them instead of restating them: each group adds [Leftmenu_my] (GroupSections[]), with the links the
extensions append there (Exponential Intelligence: expai, expai_vector, expai_chain, expai_log, expai_help; the
Help center, which a site adds to the choice as overview-help_center once its link is there), the group "ei" adds [Leftmenu_design] too (Missing alt text, expai_alttext), the group "activity"
adds [Leftmenu_audit] (the audit console and the AI events). Their addresses, policies, icons and descriptions are
those of their menus, so a link of an extension that is not active, or one the user may not open, is not shown.
Named Leftmenu_my_* so that it shares the translation context of the tab's menu, design/admin/parts/my/menu.
MegaMenuLinks[] chooses from them as <group>-<key>, in this order (the groups follow the order of their first link:
the audit before Exponential Intelligence, Change password and Edit profile last, as in the left menu); at most 19
are shown. My shopping basket and the preferred currency stay in the left menu.

Never edit settings/menu.ini itself: an update replaces it. Put the settings you change in an override, which wins over the shipped file:

  • settings/override/menu.ini.append.php for every siteaccess,
  • settings/siteaccess/<siteaccess>/menu.ini.append.php for one siteaccess,
  • extension/<extension>/settings/menu.ini.append.php in an extension (read when the extension is active).
