MegaMenu Link in new Tab #1717

Closed lpgascon closed 8 years ago

lpgascon commented 8 years ago

Any easy way of forcing the Mega-Menu to open certain links in a new Window/Browser Tab?

Can the mega-menu items also contain icons or only text?

Thanks

We align to how WxT renders there menus so if it is supported by them we can support it as well. So i might ask that question on the wet-boew repo.

As for the mega menu items the recent dev has proper support for and can also use the icon_menu module for glyphicon support.

Thanks for the feedback. Opening menu links in new tabs would be really useful for external links.

I’ve installed the menu_icon module but doesn’t seem to show up in my menu items config yet. I’ll try to troubleshoot this and play with it.

Thanks

menu_icon module screws up with the CSS of the menu items row spacing and it only does background images (no inline). But it was worth a try.

sylus commented 8 years ago

Hey sorry not menu_icon but icon_menu. The icon menu module is a submodule of: https://www.drupal.org/project/icon . We use that module with our bootstrap theme in the 4.x branch. This functionality is only in 4.x though.

icon_menu got it. Seems to work! Now i only need to figure out how i can create personalized icons as i don't need a bank of icons. (we have our own)

You should use the fontcustom library to convert your icons to a format support by icon_menu. Then it is just a simple hook function to get it registered. http://fontcustom.com/

Thanks, this is a bit too much work to get it working as i'm running the distro in a Windows Environment. I found some windows converter that may work but the instructions and scripting is quite intense potentially unstable. Hopefully there will be a better drupal module for customized icons in the future.

fontcustom isnt a drupal module just a way to get your images to use proper glyphicons workflow. You can just run the tool in a linux environment separately then copy the build to your windows box or I am sure windows has a tool that can accomplish the same thing.
