Submenu page

[antaldaniel]

I had spent hours trying to find a working example of a Hugo theme that handles submenus, and a working example how to arrange the content so that I see a working submenu. As far as I understand your theme handles submenues.

Would it be possible to include an inserted submenu with a static page under the Individual Page 1 item?

I have never done a sub menu and frankly I don't remember how I implemented menus. I think I might have used the built-in template. But let me see what I can do tonight and if it actually supports sub-menus.

I was asking because as far as I read your template it has submenus, but there were no examples. I'll may give it a try, too.

The theme does not have submenus. Neither in the navigation bar nor in the sidebar. I do not know enough about CSS to make it happen. But a template (for sidebar that can be modified for navigation bar) is here: https://gohugo.io/templates/menu-templates/.

But to add submenus, you have to do something like this. The top menu gets an identifier field. This helps because you can later change the name of the menu w/o having to modify anything else.

[[menu.sidebar]]
  Name = "External link to example.com"
  URL = "https://example.com"
  weight = 10
  identifier = "example"

Submenus are added normally with a parent field which points to the identifier of the parent.

[[menu.sidebar]]
  Name = "submenu1"
  URL = "https://example.com"
  weight = 10
  parent = "example"

[[menu.sidebar]]
  Name = "submenu2"
  URL = "https://example.com"
  weight = 20
  parent = "example"
