menu
Show a page menu.
This tag is part of the module mod_menu. The {% menu %} tag is used to generate the HTML for the menu defined in the admin.
You can define multiple menus in your site. By default there is one menu, called “main_menu”. If you want another one, create a page of type “page menu” (under “Categorization”) and start editing your menu. You can use the “menu_id” argument to select which menu you want to display.
Example:
{% menu id=id %}Generates something like:
<ul id="navigation" class="nav">
<li>
<a href="/" class="welcome">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/features" class="page_features">Features</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/documentation" class="documentation active">Documentation</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/documentation/628/installation" class="page_install">Install</a>
</li>
</ul>The menu has the following features:
The menu is a unordered list.
The id of the menu is
navigationand can be prepended with paramid_prefix.The class of the menu is set with param
class(defaultnav).Menu items are a <li> with a single <a>
The link of the menu item referring to the current page has the class
active.Every link also gets the unique name of the target as a class.
Every menu item can have single level submenus. A submenu has the same properties as the menu.
