In the Layouts editor
- The Layouts editor does not hold these menus: the header and footer are template blocks.
With settings and templates
- Header:
menu.ini [SiteInfo] MainMenuID[]. Footer first line:FooterMenuID[]. Footer second line: Menu items in Media > Configuration > Footer links. - For a menu that follows the tree, plan a template override of
pagelayout/header/main_menu.tpl(A header menu that follows the tree).
Which to choose
Lists of node IDs suit stable menus; content-driven menus suit sections editors add.
Check
- Every menu entry of the design has a source in the plan.
