Vertical bootstrap menu

Post by Barrowboy »

Hi

Does anyone know were I can get a vertical css bootstrap menu compatible with the latest version of cmsms.

I would like the menu to collapse to an icon on small screens etc.

Thanks

Almost any menu you will find is compatible with CMSMS. It sometimes needs a little love and fantasy.

Yes it's not a CMSMS thing at all. Usually done by using css (and JS).

CMSMS' task however is creating the html structure to represent the page structure in the menu (Navigator).

Just find yourself a working example (I expect there to be many of them). Then see what part is static (css, JS etc) and what Navigator needs to build (usually a piece of html using lists).

Hi Velden

Thanks for your comments.

I do have a working html bootstrap menu but unable to figure out to integrate into a cmsms menu for example the cssmenu template, so that it would pickup all the pages etc.
Not sure if I change the classes in the cmsms menu or mine.
There's no mention of {navigation} in the menu.

Would appreciate any further ideas.

Navigator is the 'menu' module in CMSMS 2.x for creating navigation(s).

There are samples in the forum about Bootstrap navigator templates. Though depending on the exact Bootstrap menu used it might need some specific tweaking. A good understanding of Navigator templates is needed in that case. Try to understand the sample templates CMSMS comes with (if you install the sample content).
