Manage-menus:Menu item parent

From Site Foundry

What is a parent item?

The majority of websites are based around a hierarchical order of pages that go to make up a main menu structure. Therefore in the menu structure, it may be said that one menu item is a child of another menu item (parent) by nature of it sitting underneath in a particular menu structure (in the example below, Things to do is said to be a child, and book an hotel a a grandchild of Rotterdam).

For example, the following is a nested unordered list structure for a website:

• Amsterdam
• Rotterdam
  • Things to do
  • Places to eat
    • Book an hotel
  • Cruises
• The Hague

With this simple structure, it is possible for a user to then browse through the site, creating logical connections between pieces of information.

Editing a pages parent

1. To add menu items, click on the manage menus menu item on the top of the page.
2. Click on the menu's name that you want to edit.
3. Click the Edit all items in this menu which will then take you to a list of all items assigned to this menu.
4. Click on the name of the item that you are looking to edit.
5. Click on the dropdown labelled parent.
6. Select the page that you would like this page to be a parent of.

Once you have made your selection, the page will be refreshed, and the edited item will be made a child of the page that you have selected.

Note: The menu editor will allow an infinite number of parent child relationships.
