Settings

You add links via comma delimited values in this order:

Text,URL,Location,Target

Text
is the name of the link that shows on the menu.

URL
is the path you want the link to have. You can use relative paths like

/tags/funny
or
/t/231

if you prefer.

Location
can have one of two values. Either the letter 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)
Use “blank” if you need the link to open in a new tab.

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”)

Text,URL,Location,Target

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:

Feature Requests:

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?

[rolando]

is there any way on customizing the links in order to place them on a certain order?

[savas (Mindaugas Bartusevičius)]

So are we got the possibility to open in new tab?

[Richie (Richie Rich)]

I don’t think anyone is working on this anymore @savas

[mognet]

Seems i have trouble adding this to footer links even i add f on Locations. Does anyone have the same trouble?

[Richie (Richie Rich)]

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

[tshenry (Taylor)]

@Richie

I was so disappointed

Maybe this will help?

Add link target option

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

[Richie (Richie Rich)]

My life is now complete

Thank you @tshenry this is fantastic news

[Krunnie]

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.

[thegurjyot (Gurjyot Singh)]

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.

@tshenry

Maybe this will help?

That is fantastic, thank you!
Maybe you can tell me quickly - how to localize the custom hamburger menu text?

[manuel (Manuel Kostka)]

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 you want a link without icon, just don’t add it, but keep the trailing comma ,
  

• 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.

[AquaL1te]

Il serait agréable que cela soit fusionné avec le plugin officiel. Je veux ajouter des boutons de médias sociaux dans le menu hamburger. Mais sans icônes, cela n’aurait pas l’air aussi bien.

De plus, il n’est pas très clair qu’aucun espace ne soit autorisé dans les champs CSV.
Cela fonctionne : Footer Link,https://google.com,f
Mais avec des espaces, l’élément est inséré dans le champ général plutôt que dans le pied de page, en raison de l’espace manquant : Footer Link, https://google.com, f

[Canapin (Coin-coin le Canapin)]

Salut !

Avec la nouvelle barre latérale, la possibilité d’ajouter des icônes personnalisées à nos liens serait un ajout appréciable.

Je peux essayer de travailler là-dessus et de faire une PR dans les jours qui suivent…

[Canapin (Coin-coin le Canapin)]

Petite question…

J’ai installé le composant de thème sur une nouvelle instance Discourse, mais pour une raison indéterminée, les liens par défaut n’apparaissent pas dans la section plus de la barre latérale :

Je n’ai pas modifié le code, c’est une nouvelle installation du composant de thème.

Cependant, le composant de thème, installé il y a deux ans, fonctionne sur mon autre forum :

Aucune erreur ne s’affiche. Une idée pourquoi le composant de thème ne fonctionne pas sur ma nouvelle installation ?
