The order updates immediately after saving. ### Custom Links [](#custom-links) Add your own links to the sidebar nav. Each custom link has a label, URL, and icon. External links (starting with `http://` or `https://`) open in a new tab automatically. Internal links (paths or your forum's URL) open in the same tab via Mithril's router. ### Flip Navigation [](#flip-navigation) Moves tag links to the top of the sidebar and nav items (All Discussions, Following, etc.) to the bottom. Applies on all screen sizes. ### Sticky Sidebar [](#sticky-sidebar) Keeps the sidebar fixed at the top of the viewport as the user scrolls. The Start a Discussion button stays visible at all times. Desktop only. ### Custom Icons [](#custom-icons) Each nav item has a text input for overriding its Font Awesome icon class (e.g. `fas fa-bolt`). Leave it empty to use the extension's default icon. ### Highlight Items [](#highlight-items) Mark any nav item with the star button to apply a highlight treatment: colored background at reduced opacity, solid border, and a pulsing glow animation. Desktop only. ### Highlight Color [](#highlight-color) A color picker controls the background, border, and glow color for highlighted items. ### Remove Items from List [](#remove-items-from-list) Any item can be permanently removed from the admin list using the × button. Useful for items discovered by the PHP scanner that don't actually appear in your forum's nav (e.g. fof/polls items when global polls is disabled). --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install via Flarum's built-in Extension Manager, or via Composer: ``` composer require resofire/menu-control php flarum extension:enable resofire-menu-control ``` --- First-time setup ---------------- [](#first-time-setup) After enabling the extension: 1. **Visit the forum index page** while logged in as an admin. This automatically detects all active nav items and saves the current display order. 2. Go to **Admin → Extensions → Menu Control** to configure. If you install or uninstall extensions that add nav items, visit the forum index page again as admin to refresh the list. --- Admin Panel Reference --------------------- [](#admin-panel-reference) ControlDescriptionFlip navigationToggle — tags above nav itemsSticky sidebarToggle — fixed sidebar on desktopHighlight colorColor picker for highlighted item stylingAdd Custom LinkAdd a custom nav link with label, URL, and iconIcon inputOverride the Font Awesome icon (e.g. `fas fa-fire`)★ star buttonToggle highlight on/off for an item× buttonRemove item from the admin list permanently↑ / ↓ buttonsReorder nav itemsSave OrderPersist all changes--- Compatibility with Other Extensions ----------------------------------- [](#compatibility-with-other-extensions) ### fof/blog [](#fofblog) Ordering, custom icons, flip, and highlight all apply to the blog page's Forum Nav sidebar automatically. ### fof/polls [](#fofpolls) If fof/polls is installed, items like `fof-polls-showcase` may appear in the admin list even when global polls is disabled. Use the × button to remove them permanently. --- Settings stored --------------- [](#settings-stored) KeyContent`resofire-menu-control.order`JSON array of nav keys in saved order`resofire-menu-control.known-keys`JSON array of all discovered nav keys`resofire-menu-control.labels`JSON object of key → display label (auto-discovered)`resofire-menu-control.icons`JSON object of key → FA icon class (auto-discovered)`resofire-menu-control.custom-icons`JSON object of key → admin-overridden FA icon class`resofire-menu-control.custom-links`JSON array of custom link objects`resofire-menu-control.flip``"1"` or `"0"``resofire-menu-control.sticky``"1"` or `"0"``resofire-menu-control.highlighted`JSON array of highlighted nav keys`resofire-menu-control.highlight-color`Hex color string`resofire-menu-control.removed-keys`JSON array of keys removed from the admin list--- Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Flarum **1.8+** (`flarum/core: ^1.8`). --- License ------- [](#license) MIT — see [LICENSE](LICENSE). ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 89% of packages Maintenance84 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity19 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity49 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
