Menu types
The user interface provides 3 customizable menus:
- Main navigation
- Custom menu
- User menu
The main navigation is displayed on all content pages in the wiki and does not change in individual namespaces.
Up to v.4.2, only the standard MediaWiki sidebar is available.
BlueSpice 4.3
Starting BlueSpice 4.3, four different menu settings are available. Administrators can select a menu type in the Config manager.
All four types optionally show a list of pre-defined Entry points.
MediaWiki sidebar
This is the standard view of the sidebar. It displays custom menu items with no hierarchical structure.
Namespace main page list
This view automatically displays the Main Page of each content namespace.
- No combination with other menu elements is possible.
Subpage tree (context-sensitive)
This view automatically shows the subpages of a page if that page has subpages. Multi-level subpages are supported.
- No combination with other menu elements is possible.
Enhanced MediaWiki sidebar
This view shows a fully customizable multi-hierarchical menu. It can consist of the following elements:
Overview
In BlueSpice 4, an additional custom menu is integrated as a mega menu.
If the menu doesn't exist yet, you first have to create the following page: MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header
If the menu exists, the link-icon is displayed. You can click on the Edit menu link to edit the links in this menu.
This menu can be created and edited by users with admin rights.
Menu editor
View instructions on the menu editor help page.
To remove the custom menu link-icon from the wiki, the MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header page must be deleted. The page can be restored via the deletion log.
