Menus
There are different menu types in Intrexx that allow portal content to be displayed in a structured manner and easily accessed. Menus are elements that you can access like all other layout elements in the "Elements" area. Menus can be arranged in the layout in containers or in responsive grid columns.
If a menu already exists in a layout, it can usually be found at the top left in the "Layout" area under Container Header / Grid Header / "Menu" column. If you open the structure up to this point, you will see the click-down menu there and, if it is selected, you can edit its element settings in the right-hand area.
If you want to use a different menu, delete the existing menu in the "Layout" area using the "Delete" context menu. The desired menu can then be recreated in the same position ("Menu column"). To do this, simply perform a drag & drop by dragging the menu from the "Elements" area to this position in the layout structure.
Alternatively, the new menu can also be created via the context menu "Insert sub-element / Menus" in the "Layout" area in the "Menu" column.
Flat menu
A flat menu can only show one level (arranged horizontally or vertically). On which level the display begins depends on how it is linked to other menus. This is defined in the element settings.
If you create a new flat menu by dragging it with the mouse from the "Elements" area into the layout structure or by double-clicking on an existing flat menu, the properties dialog opens.

start symbol to menu items can be controlled via the top and left properties of the #Container_Menu_Dropline .menuopenclose selector.

Include functions from custommenu.js
Integrates the file ""custommenu.js"" from the portal directory external/htmlroot/include/custom in which additional JavaScript actions can be specified for when the user clicks on the menu.
Row menu
In the Row menu, the menu items of all levels are depicted horizontally in the same format. It can be used if a space-saving display of all menu items is required, e.g. for display on mobile devices. This menu is responsive, i.e. in a small screen size, only the start icon is displayed, which can be used to open the menu items by clicking on them.
Information on the element settings can be found here.
All further information on the properties of this menu can be found in the description of the vertical menu.
Block menu
In the Block menu, the menu items of the first level are depicted horizontally, the rest are depicted vertically. It can be used if a space-saving display of all menu items is required, e.g. for display on mobile devices. This menu is responsive, i.e. in a small screen size, only the start icon is displayed, which can be used to open the menu items by clicking on them.
Information on the element settings can be found here.
All further information on the properties of this menu can be found in the description of the vertical menu.
Mega menu
In the element settings of the mega menu, you can define the number of levels and also how the application menu is appended. In principle, the structure of the mega menu corresponds to the structure of the block menu. The following selectors have been added to the block menu for this purpose:
Selector block 1:
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level0.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level1.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level2.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:checked ~ .level3.list
Selector block 2:
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level0.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level1.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level2.list
#Container_Menu_Droplist .menu .input:not([checked]) ~ .level3.list
The behavior in this case differs as follows.
Selector block 1:
A menu level (0,1,2 or 3) in the open state, i.e. the superordinate menu level has been explicitly clicked.
Selector block 2:
A menu level (0, 1, 2 or 3) when it is closed, meaning the menu level above was not specifically selected.
The selectors react to the "ul" of the respective level. This makes it possible to display and style menu levels as desired, regardless of the status of the parent menu level (clicked / unclicked).

All further information on the properties of this menu can be found in the description of the vertical menu.
Drop-down menu
A drop-down menu consists of a flat main menu (arranged horizontally or vertically) and popouts that contain the subordinate menu items. The drop-down menu is responsive and therefore automatically adapts to the SMALL, MEDIUM and LARGE screen sizes.
Information on the element settings can be found here.
All further information on the properties of this menu can be found in the description of the vertical menu.
Tree menu
The number of levels and the attachment of the application menu can be defined in the element settings of the tree menu. For the tree menu, a responsive grid layout with a border in the right area is needed. In this case, two containers should be placed next to each other. The menu is placed in the left container and the stage container in the right one.
All information on the settings in the properties of this menu can be found in the description of the vertical menu.
Drop-down menu (Alt)
A drop-down menu consists of a flat main menu (arranged horizontally or vertically) and popouts that contain the subordinate menu items. If you create a new drop-down menu by dragging it with the mouse from the "Elements" area into the layout structure or double-clicking on an existing drop-down menu, the properties dialog opens.
