Entry Settings

Entry Settings (entry)

In the position settings for platen.display.menu, you can add entries to the site menu. These settings define how a specific entry is added to the menu.

An entry must define either the feature or the group and Entries settings.

Entries with the feature setting are individual entries that leverage a partial defined by a Platen feature.

Entries with the group setting acommodate a nested list of entries (defined in entries) in the menu, using this entry as the parent container.

Feature Name (feature)

Specifies the name of the Platen feature this entry should use to write HTML in the menu. This value must map to the name of a feature that is usable for menu entries. A usable Feature:

  1. Has enabled set to true.
  2. Defines a value for partials.menu.

If an entry references an unusable or non-existant feature, Hugo raises a warning and skips the entry.

This setting is mandatory if the Group setting isn’t specified for the entry.
