title: Menus
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The theme supports two different kinds of menus. File-tree menu is the default one and does not require further configuration to work. If you want full control about your menu the bundle menu is a powerful option to accomplish it.
|
|
|
|
{{< toc >}}
|
|
|
|
## File-tree menu
|
|
|
|
As the name already suggests, the file tree menu builds a menu from the file system structure of the content folder. By default, areas and subareas are sorted alphabetically by the title of the pages. To manipulate the order the `weight` parameter in a page [front matter](https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/) can be used. To structure your content folder you have to use [page bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/organization/#page-bundles), single files are **not** supported. Hugo will render build single files in the content folder just fine but it will not be added to the menu.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
File system structure:
|
|
|
|
```plain
|
|
content/
|
|
├── level-1
|
|
│ ├── _index.md
|
|
│ ├── level-1-1.md
|
|
│ ├── level-1-2.md
|
|
│ └── level-1-3
|
|
│ ├── _index.md
|
|
│ └── level-1-3-1.md
|
|
└── level-2
|
|
├── _index.md
|
|
├── level-2-1.md
|
|
└── level-2-2.md
|
|
```

## Bundle menu
|
|
|
|
This type of navigation needs to be enabled first by setting `geekdocMenuBundle` to `true` in your [site configuration](/usage/configuration/#site-configuration). After you have activated the bundle menu, you start with an empty navigation. This is intentional because bundle menus have to be defined manually in a data file. While this increases the effort it also offers maximum flexibility in the design. The data file needs to be written in YAML and placed at `data/menu/main.yml`.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```YAML
|
|
---
|
|
main:
|
|
- name: Level 1
|
|
ref: "/level-1"
|
|
icon: "gdoc_notification"
|
|
sub:
|
|
- name: Level 1.1
|
|
ref: "/level-1/level-1-1"
|
|
- name: Level 1.2
|
|
ref: "/level-1/level-1-2"
|
|
- name: Level 1.3
|
|
ref: "/level-1/level-1-3"
|
|
sub:
|
|
- name: Level 1.3.1
|
|
ref: "/level-1/level-1-3/level-1-3-1"
|
|
- name: Level 2
|
|
ref: "/level-2"
|
|
sub:
|
|
- name: Level 2.1
|
|
ref: "/level-2/level-2-1"
|
|
- name: Level 2.2
|
|
ref: "/level-2/level-2-2"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As an advantage you can add [icons](/features/icon-sets/) to your menu entries e.g. `icon: "gdoc_notification"`.

### More menu
|
|
|
|
{{< hint ok >}}
|
|
**Tip**\
|
|
The more menu is special type of the bundle menu and can be combined with the default file-tree menu.
|
|
{{< /hint >}}
|
|
|
|
As this is a special type of the bundle menu it is basically working in the same way. To enable it just add a data file to `data/menu/more.yml`. The more menu will also work with the file-tree menu and therefor **don't need to be enabled** by the `geekdocMenuBundle` parameter.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```YAML
|
|
---
|
|
more:
|
|
- name: News
|
|
ref: "/#"
|
|
icon: "gdoc_notification"
|
|
- name: Releases
|
|
ref: "https://github.com/thegeeklab/hugo-geekdoc/releases"
|
|
external: true
|
|
icon: "gdoc_download"
|
|
- name: "View Source"
|
|
ref: "https://github.com/thegeeklab/hugo-geekdoc"
|
|
external: true
|
|
icon: "gdoc_github"
|
|
```

## Extra Header Menu
|
|
|
|
If you want to customize the header menu, this can be achieved by using a data file written in YAML and placed at `data/menu/extra.yml`.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```Yaml
|
|
---
|
|
header:
|
|
- name: GitHub
|
|
ref: https://github.com/thegeeklab/hugo-geekdoc
|
|
icon: gdoc_github
|
|
external: true
|
|
```
