README

A SilverStripe CMS module for editor-managed multi-menu navigation — define multiple named menus in the CMS, nest them arbitrarily deep, and render them in templates by slug.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.3
• silverstripe/framework ^6.0, silverstripe/cms ^6.0, silverstripe/admin ^3.0
• unclecheese/display-logic ^4.0, symbiote/silverstripe-gridfieldextensions ^5.0

Installation

composer require wedevelopnl/silverstripe-menustructure

Then run dev/build?flush=1 to pick up the new database schema.

Usage

Create a menu in the CMS under Menus, give it a slug, and render it in any template:

$MenustructureMenu('main-menu')

That uses the bundled Menu.ss template. To render with your own markup:

$ViewableMenustructureMenu('main-menu', 'Includes/PrimaryNavigation')

See Template integration for the full rendering contract — link types, active-link styling, nesting, and the bundled markup.
