cs.megamenu

cs.megamenu#

cs.megamenu adds an editable menu to Plone 6.2 Classic UI. The menu is stored as JSON on a content object, edited with a tree widget in the standard edit form, and rendered by a viewlet that replaces Plone’s main navigation.

A menu bar with an open submenu

Features ✨#

  • Nested folder placeholders and leaf links.

  • Internal links stored as UIDs and permission-filtered at render time.

  • External links, per-item CSS classes, Plone icon names, and open-in-new-tab.

  • Internal menu targets participate in Plone’s linkintegrity checks.

  • Nearest-ancestor inheritance with an explicit empty opt-out.

  • Optional Language Root Folder support with plone.app.multilingual.

Quick start 🚀#

Install the add-on from Site Setup → Add-ons.

For a source checkout:

make install
make start

Then edit the Plone Site root or a Folder, switch to the Mega menu fieldset, and use the Menu field.

Warning

There is no fallback to Plone’s default main navigation. If no menu is configured, or the effective menu is explicitly empty, the main navigation renders nothing.
