Configuration

All available configuration options are listed below with their default values.

enablePrivateMenuItems (type: boolean, default: false)

If this option is set to true, the public attribute of a menu-item can be managed and the getTree function in models/frontend/Menu will only return public menu-items if the current application user is a guest. Keep in mind that you will also have to enable the module in your frontend application to if you set this option to true.

defaultPublicVisibility (type: boolean, default: true)

This is the value that will be used as the default value of the public attribute of a menu-item.

allowContentDuplication (type: boolean, default: true)

If this option is set to true, the duplicateable jquery plugin is activated on all translateable attributes.

createEntityFromMenuItem (type: boolean, default: true)

If this option is set to true, you can for example create a page in the menu item form.

linkableEntities (type: boolean, default: [])

These are the entities will be used in the menu module. The fully qualified name of the entity class is used as the key in the array. An entity can only be linked if it implements the getUrl and getAllForDropDownList methods. For each configured entity the following fields are required:

• label : The entity label that will be used in the menu module
• i18nGroup : The group that will be used for the translation of the label

Example configuration:

'menu' => [
    'class' => 'infoweb\menu\Module',
    'enablePrivateMenuItems' => true,
    'linkableEntities' => [
        MedicalTraining::className()  => [
            'label'     => 'Training',
            'i18nGroup' => 'infoweb/medical-training',
        ]
    ]
],
