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 can edited with existing sections (see screenshots below), as well as as many custom sections or links as you wish to add.
Settings
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, so if you want to hide that section, use the “community” section name. You can use the links installed with plugins, 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.
