Silverstripe Set Menu
=====================

[](#silverstripe-set-menu)

A Silverstripe module to define menu sets for different purposes.

Credit
------

[](#credit)

This module was inspired by the following modules, but modified for our tastes:

- [heyday/silverstripe-menumanager](https://github.com/heyday/silverstripe-menumanager)
- [guttmann/silverstripe-menumanager-subsites](https://github.com/guttmann/silverstripe-menumanager-subsites)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This module is baked for Silverstripe 5 and Php 8

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require dnadesign/silverstripe-setmenu`

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Define the **MenuSet**s and the group they belong to in .yml configuration by setting `default_sets`.

- *Key*: Initial name of the **MenuSet**.
- *Value*: Group the **MenuSet** belongs to.

```
DNADesign\SetMenu\Model\MenuSet:
  default_sets:
    Main nav: Main
    Main footer: Footer
    Secondary footer: Footer

```

Additionally, subsite menusets can be configured. Currently the mechanism to do this is to match the theme name to the menu definition. This would also require a template to be copied to the subsite theme to override it and make use of the different menu sets. i.e.

```
DNADesign\SetMenu\Model\MenuSet:
  default_sets:
    Main nav: Main
    Main footer: Footer
  subsitetheme:
    Primary: Main
    Auxilliary: Secondary

```

On `/dev/build` they will be created automatically.

Migration from MenuManager
--------------------------

[](#migration-from-menumanager)

The classes in this module are namespaced, and the table names are plural, so this module is able to be installed without removing MenuManager first.

The intent for this is to allow a migration from MenuManager to Set Menu other by first deploying the module, creating the menus in the production environment, then later, deploying the template changes.

This avoids a state where the content must be hurriedly created after deployment.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the `$MenuType('Name')` template function to retrieve the MenuSet DataList:

```

    $Name

            {$Title}

```

Permissions
-----------

[](#permissions)

In `/admin/security/`, add the *Access to 'Menus' section* and *Manage Menus* permissions to a group to view and edit the menu objects.

Subsites
--------

[](#subsites)

This module is configured to operate with or without the Subsites module.

Tasks
-----

[](#tasks)

The module comes with a task to truncate the **MenuSet**s, which may be helpful for development purposes. This can be enabled on PROD if required.

```
DNADesign\SetMenu\Model\MenuSet:
  prod_truncate_permission: true

```

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Currently, when using Subsites, the same **MenuSet**s will be created for each subsite.
    - Update the configuration documentation and `requireDefaultRecords()` functionality in `MenuSetSubsiteExtension` to allow different configuration per Subsite.
