Dear Forum,
I have an issue creating a menu structure that (only) provides the links of the menu based on a dedicated selection of pages of different levels. Honestly, I cannot get this issue resolved. Well, I have already done a research on this topic within the board with (50+) results. Nothing helped.
Some information in advance:
I am new working with GRAV (coming von wordpress and joomla) and nevertheless I have successfully created a homepage based the antimatter theme. In addition I have extended the antimatter theme by a child-theme to easily include my design ideas. So far so good, everything is up and running the blog is growing. I am almost happy ;-)
Scheme of the structure:
/root
/topic_1
/_sub-topic_1_1
/sub-sub-topic_1_1_1
Page1.html, Page2.html, … in total approx. 30 pages
/sub-sub-topic_1_1_2
Page1.html, Page2.html, … in total approx. 60 pages
/_sub-topic_1_2
/sub-sub-topic_1_2_1
Page1.html, Page2.html, … in total approx. 40 pages
/sub-sub-topic_1_2_2
Page1.html, Page2.html, … in total approx. 100 pages
/topic_2
=> similar here
/topic_3
=> similar here
Currently the menu is structured as follow:
[root] [topic_1] [topic_2] [topic_3]
What I would like to achieve:
I would like to have a menu structure as follow:
[root] [_sub-topic_1_1] [_sub-topic_1_2] [topic 2] [topic 3]
For me it seams like a "mixed" structure of several levels. The most important thing for me is, that if I would click on the menu item [sub-sub-topic 1_1] all 90 pages should be shown / listed (= pages of [sub-sub-topic 1_1_1] and also pages of [sub-sub-topic 1_1_2])
What I have already done:
1) Created manual links in the sidebar template …
Result: the pages below [_sub-topic_1_1] and [_sub-topic_1_2] are not shown and it is not helpful for me to "code" within a template to create a menu structure.
2) Tried to manage the menu based on the "Page Collections" - see: https://learn.getgrav.org/17/content/collections
Maybe I have done it wrong.
Result: the menu [_sub-topic_1_1] and [_sub-topic_1_2] and all pages below are not shown.
3) Tried to manage the menu based on the solution provided here: /forum/general/modular-page-in-menu-does-not-display-ints-children-t7883
Result: the menu [_sub-topic_1_1] and [_sub-topic_1_2] and all pages below are not shown.
My question:
Is there a way to create the menu structure by "clicking" some check marks to get this structure as I would like to have, without editing more than 100 pages (articles)?
It would be really great, If you can provide me some support. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards Paul
