Creating custom menus
---------------------

[](#creating-custom-menus)

As it is common to reference MenuSets by slug in templates, you can configure sets to be created automatically during the /dev/build task. These sets cannot be deleted through the CMS.

```
gorriecoe\Menu\Models\MenuSet:
  sets:
    main: Main menu
    secondary: Another menu

```

Nested and flat menus
---------------------

[](#nested-and-flat-menus)

By default menus will be flat, which means links can not have child links associated with them. If you need a nested menu structure, you can do so by adding `allow_children: true` to the yml file as shown below.

```
gorriecoe\Menu\Models\MenuSet:
  sets:
    footer:
      title: Footer menu
      allow_children: true

```

Adding links to menus
---------------------

[](#adding-links-to-menus)

Once you have created your menus you can add links in the admin area. The fields are inherited from [silverstripe link](https://github.com/gorriecoe/silverstripe-link).

Automatically add links from sitetree to specific menus
-------------------------------------------------------

[](#automatically-add-links-from-sitetree-to-specific-menus)

If you need to automatically add links to a menu after the creation of a page, you can do so by adding the following extension to page and defining `owns_menu`.

```
Page:
  extensions:
    - gorriecoe\Menu\Extensions\SiteTreeAutoCreateExtension
  owns_menu:
    - main
    - footer

```

Usage in template
-----------------

[](#usage-in-template)

```

            {$Me}

```

See [silverstripe link](https://github.com/gorriecoe/silverstripe-link#template-options) for more template options.
