Can a parent node for menu is clickable and navigate to it's page?

24 Feb 2022, 23:32

Now, It only can expand the menu tree and will not open any page, but the page of it is really there and can be open by the url.

For the X3 SIDEBAR layout menu, CLICK is designated to TOGGLE open/close submenu. Therefore, it does not navigate to a page when clicked. This would be confusing for the visitor, if clicking an item both opens submenu AND navigates to the page ... How will they just expand the menu?

There could be options for this, but for now, click will TOGGLE submenu if the menu item has subfolders. Some users choose to "Hide child pages from menu" (page settings > Menu > Child pages), which means the visitor will need to click the parent menu item to load a page that displays child pages. Or you can choose topbar layouts, which allow click, because submenu's are triggered by mouse HOVER and don't depend on click to expand.

I find a way to make thing work well.

1. New a folder include some sub-folders, and config the content and context to making the page of this folder looks like a subject-type page in CMS.
2. New another folder with same Titles and Captions with just one, the link to the url of it.

Now I have a menu item without sub-menu and clickable, and it looks like a Subjuct page, with sub folders.
X3 is going to be a small CMS.

hahaha~~~~

What should I be checking? Are there any questions, or is everything solved?

Yes, you can force opening a page of folder first by hiding the child items from the menu.
