Description
The Navigation Menu Display Control theme component allows for the display of various default sections and links for staff-only and/or logged-in users only. You can also specify custom sections or custom links (placeholder names are included). Additionally, there is a setting for displaying a custom menu section for anonymous users only, as well as settings for setting the order of the default sections (category, tags, chat, channels, messages) . The sections and links in the settings are lists that include defaults that can be added or removed as you require, as well as as many custom sections or links as you wish to add.
Settings
Note that for the list settings, the defaults can be removed and new custom sections or links added. The defaults are just for a starting point and should be configured to suit your forum. Also, for custom menu sections, they must be visible globally when you set them up (the Make this section public and visible to everyone checkbox must be enabled).
The top section is called “community” in the code, and this is reflected in the default settings as well. Some of the defaults refer to links installed with plugins, but they will not affect the functionality if you do not have the respective plugins installed (for example, docs, anniversaries and birthday links).
There are also settings that override each other - having a specific link in More visible to logged-in users will be overridden by the More drop down setting being visible only to staff.
