Overview

For further navigation support, a custom menu is integrated as a mega menu and can be customized by administrators.

Creating a custom menu with the menu editor

If the custom menu icon is not yet displayed, first create the MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header page.

From BlueSpice   v5.1.2+: The display of the custom menu button can be controlled via the configuration management (Global Actions > Configuration > Skinning. There, activate or deactivate the checkbox for BlueSpiceCustomMenu).

If the menu already exists: Click Edit Menu to switch to edit mode.

Custom menu: open menu, edit link and menu items
Custom menu: open menu, edit link and menu items

If the menu page does not exist, a message will be displayed:

Message indicating that the page MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header does not exist
Missing menu page

In this case, you can easily create the menu by editing the page. Alternatively, you can also use the "Edit menu" link in the mega menu.

Menu editor

View instructions on the menu editor help page.

Delete the custom menu

To remove the custom menu link-icon from the wiki, the MediaWiki:CustomMenu/Header page must be deleted. The page can be restored via the deletion log.

Layout for many columns

If you're building a menu with many columns, the following CSS adjustment may be helpful. On the Flexiskin special page, enter the following CSS declarations in the "Free CSS" text area:

.navbar-nav .dropdown-menu {text-align:center;}
.mega-menu-wrapper.d-flex {padding-bottom:3rem; justify-content:start; gap:0 30px; max-width:1600px; margin:auto}
.card.card-mn {min-height:unset; padding:0; margin-top:1em}
