Concrete5 – Drop Down Auto-Nav Menu

Add auto_nav

Even if there’s an area called “Menu”, I’m going to add my auto_nav Block to the area called “Content”. This isn’t because of a technical reason, I simply need more space for a drop down navigation:

2-add-auto-nav

  • 1 – Click on “Add To Content”
  • 2 – Select “Auto-Nav”
  • 3 – Select “Display all” twice
  • 4 – Add

We now have a navigation block that automatically add new menu items, if there’s a new page. Nice to work with, but looks ugly:

3-auto-nav

We need some style!

    Hi there, first I would like to thank for all the work sharing this info withou profit! People like you make the world a better place!

    Second: I have an old javascript menu, in http://www.luzesom.pt that is “pull-right-side”. Can this be changed to do that, when I upgrade to C5?

    Hi Pedro,

    thanks, I’m glad I was able to offer your some free information!
    I haven’t seen a menu which I couldn’t convert to concrete5 but depending on the structure and complexity it might take more or less time.

    The menu on your site uses a pretty old fashioned structure based on tables. I wouldn’t recommend to convert that menu to concrete5 but rather create a new one.
    But you’ll certainly need some time and developer skills!

    Remo
