Navigation and menus

Menus are the sets of links that help visitors move around your site. EventDrake has several menus, each shown in a different place. They all work the same way.

The menus

Menu	Where it shows	Scope
Site navigation	The main menu across the top of every page	Site-wide
Event navigation	The top menu within one event	Per-event
Footer links	The links in your footer	Site-wide
Social links	The social icons in your footer	Site-wide
User menu	The dropdown for a signed-in user	Site-wide

One event merges the two top menus

While only one event is active, your site navigation and that event’s navigation are shown as a single menu. With several events active, they stay separate.

Adding and ordering items

Website / CMS → Site navigation

A menu editor. Each item has a label and a link, with arrows to move it up or down.

Each menu item has:

• A label, the text visitors see.
• A link, where it goes. Type an address on your site (/about) or a full external web address. Use Test to open it in a new tab and check it.
• An optional icon.

Add items, then use the up and down arrows to put them in order. Social links require an icon, chosen from a set of brand logos.

Nested menus

The site and event navigation menus can have drop-downs, up to three levels deep. An item becomes a drop-down heading when you give it items of its own.

Headings do not link

A menu item with items under it acts as a heading only; it does not link anywhere. Put the links on the items inside it instead.

Footer, social, and user menus are single-level lists and cannot be nested.
