Title: Menu manager for Elxis Nautilus
Post by: datahell on October 19, 2011, 21:08:12
Component eMenu (menu manager) for Elxis Nautilus is complete.
Till now the following components for the back-end area are 100% complete:
- Menu Manager (component emenu)
- User manager (component user)
- Languages manager (component languages)
- Control panel (component cpanel)

The menus of Elxis Nautilus are much more powerful but simpler and easier to understand. There are only 4 types of links:
- Link, internal link to an Elxis component (Elxis URI system)
- URL, full HTTP link to any page
- Separator, not a real link. used as separator between menu items
- Wrapper, full HTTP link opened by component wrapper internally into Elxis.

You don't have to select menu types, such as "blog", "table category", etc, but just "link". The layout/style of the page is now controlled by the page it self and not from the menu item. Also the front-page is now set on Elxis general settings and not as the first item of "mainmenu". Nautilus menus have built-in support for various cool new features. For example you can create automatically a dynamic tree menu, you can open a link to a popup or lightbox window, you can control the width and height of popup/lightbox windows and of wrapper frames, you can force a page to be accessed via secure protocol (SSL), there is a content browser and an extension for third party components to add links and much of their options without typing them, and much more.

I attach a screenshot (smaller than the original) from the listing menu items page.
