Install this theme component
Desktop
Mobile
You add links via comma delimited values in this order:
Text,URL,Location,Target
Text
URL
/tags/funny/t/231
if you prefer.
Location g or the letter f
Use “g” if you want the link to appear in the generalLinks section:
or use “f” if you want the link to appear in the footerLinks section:
Target (optional)

Thats a nice addition, thanks for that. It’s already installed
Could you add a target option so that it is possible to open the link in a new tab/window (if no target is given just use “_self”)

Please add an option to place the link at the very top of the dropdown panel

I might have a go at this myself at some stage (have to learn a wee bit first), but I’m putting my thoughts down here for now:
No 1: Allow hover text. This is now used for the core hamburger links, and would be very helpful
No 2: Merge with Rob’s fork, which is clearly a good idea:
merefield:
Just add an additional ,N if you want the link to appear for anon users (aka Not Private), or ,Y if you don’t (Yes to Private).
No 3: Allow target=“_blank” as per Richie (also clearly a great idea):
Richie:
This is a great component but I’d also love to be able to target links to a new window
No 4: Allow more control of link ordering (likely very tricky!)

Is there a way that the custom hamburger menu links can be translated depending on the user interface language?
For example, I could wrap yaml translation files into a custom plugin, but I’m not sure which translation keys I could use.
No practical way to do this?

I got really excited this evening when I saw this!!
I was soooooo much hoping that there was a new feature to open links to a target="_blank"
Jumped straight on GitHub to see what was new!
Oh @tshenry I was so disappointed

Maybe this will help?

That seemed to be the most requested feature and it wasn’t too hard to add support. That’s it for now though

Hey quick question, how does one localize the custom hamburger menu text? I want to fully localize my forum and I can’t seem to find the text anywhere.

This is a useful component. But can we add font awesome icons there? It would be great to show social media profile icons there, so that people can follow our social profiles easily.

I added support for icons, you could try out this fork of the component: GitHub - nolosb/discourse-custom-hamburger-links-with-icons
Two notes on usage:
The icon would be the first item in the list:,
If the icon is not included by default, remember to add it to the icon list:

Can you puch these changes to the official Theme component? It’s always better to have the official Theme component installed as it’s going to be maintained with Discourse future updates.

It would be nice to have this merged with the official plugin. I want to add social media buttons in the hamburger menu. But without icons it would not look as nice.
Also, it’s a bit unclear that no space is allowed in the CSV fields.Footer Link,https://google.com,fFooter Link, https://google.com, f

Hi!
With the new sidebar, being able to add custom icons to our links would be a nice addition.
I can try to work on this and do a PR in the following days…

Quick question…
I’ve installed the theme component on a new Discourse instance, but for some unidentified reason, the default links won’t appear in the more section of the sidebar:
I didn’t modify the code, it’s a fresh theme component install.
However, the theme component, installed two years ago, works on my other forum:
No error is displayed. Any idea why the theme component doesn’t work on my new install?
