Menu questions

ASP.NET Maker General Discussion (ASP.NET Maker)
1

Hi guys,
I am a returning user of hkvstore, I was using ASP Maker a long time ago.
I am now trying to get familiar with the new and modern ASP.NET Maker, and I have a few general questions regarding the project setup.
1. Menu links - I have noticed that I can create Master/Detail functionality based on the Tables. I was wondering, though if I can create menu members that are not connected to a specific table.
To be specific about my question, I have a table called Shops where I have a list of shops and I have 2-3 shop types. I would like to be able to display a link for each Shop category. I can probably create Views for this purpose, wbut I was sondering if there is another way of creating a menul element without connecting it to a specific Table

2 - Tree-like menu - Another specificity of my project is that products are assigned to a category tree. I would like to build a tree-like navigation that would list the products assigned to each “leaf” of the category tree. My table structure for this purpose has 4 tables: Products, ProductGroups, GroupsRelation, ProductGroupRelation

3 - Menu sections (or multiple menus) - I would like to know if it is possible to group different elements of a menu into sections

That’s all for now, any help or pointers are very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Adrian

  1. You can add custom menu item using the Add Item button in the Menu Editor
  2. You can add menu items dynamically using the Menu_Rendering server event
  3. You can use the Move down one level / Move down one level buttons to move the menu item as a sub level of the preceding menu item. Use the Move up / Move down buttons to move the menu items around the menu.

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much. I was not aware of the “Menu editor” functionality. It makes a lot more sense.
Thank you,
Adrian
