Hi there,
currently it's not possible to extend the functionality of menus / menu items with SEBLOD, right? Is there a specific reason why this is not possible? Wouldn't that be a great functionality? Am I the only one who would love that? :-)
I would be very keen to create some kind of mega menu with SEBLOD, i.e. select a specific icon for a menu item (e.g. font awesome), be able to add graphics etc.
A good example of what I'd like to be able through SEBLOD in the backend is a menu in the format like this http://htmlcoder.me/preview/the_project/v.1.4/.
Otherwise any suggestions from the community here on other plugins to be recommended?
Thanks!
To manage menus you need to use menu object (free download in extensions), easiest way is to use Menu items app

Thank you for the swift reply. Unfortunately I'm still lost. I came accross this already, but when I installed the object plugin I didn't find any information on what exactly this enables me to do? There is really nothing in addition to that one phrase "Object Plug-in to integrate with Joomla! Menu Items." ... I thought this would enable me to add in additional fields to menu items, just like this is possible with content types?
Object is just an interface between your content type and database. For ready-made solution you need the above app.
Alright. Last question then: Is there some way to test that app prior to acquiring a 90€ package for it?
Hi jo83 !
Actually you can easily add custom menu parameter the way you want it.. it's mostly joomla issue not specific to seblod.
May i know your expertise in joomla? do you code ? is jForm Object or Module layout override means anything for you ?
It's a technical thing.. but it would take less than an hour to add custom menu item parameter as much as you want...
The solution is item_components.xml override through content plugin on event called 'onPrepareForm'
i did this so many times in my project.. so custom main menu item parameter is not a big issue for me at this moment.. i'll hope i can create tutorial for this sometime...
+1 on that :)
If you like to get your hand bit 'dirty' you can start from this reference....

Hi
It's always good to get someone else's perspective and wording though ;)
