Structure of the Menu Entries

Each line consists of required and optional parameters separated by the pipe “|” character. The parameters include:

• The menu text
• A link URL (optional)
• A tooltip title (optional)
• A language code (en or fr_ca) or comma-separated list of both codes for displaying the menu entry to users of the specified language only (optional)
• A capability or comma-separated list of capabilities for displaying the menu entry to users with the specified system capability only (optional).

Following is an example of a menu entry with all available options.

FAQ|/our-lms-faq |FAQ|en|local/dualcode:authenticated

In this example, a menu entry named "FAQ" will display HTML page called “our-lms-faq” when the site is viewed in English and the user is logged in.

Creating Submenus

Submenu entries are created by putting a dash “-“ at the start of the line. For example:

FAQ
-Standard Topics|/standard_topics
-Special Topics|/special_topics

In this case, FAQ would be the main menu entry and “Standard Topics” and “Special Topics” would appear in the drop-down menu when you click FAQ. 

Leveraging Tokens in Menus

It is possible to use tokens, also known as placeholders, in the menu. This is generally used to display dynamic data. Please see the /wiki/spaces/releases/pages/34996624 article for more information.
