Menu configuration file for NEW CuMX template
Last modified: 2022/07/05 11:39:38
menu.js - typical name, you define the one used in setpagedata.js<br>
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that if you customise this file, you create a new file with a different name, e.g. mymenu.js
and change setpagedata.js to use that file. This will avoid your customisations being accidentally overwritten during upgrades<br>
Properties:
.title - This is the text that appears in the menu bar.
.menu - can be 'b' (both menus), 'w' (wide menu ONLY), 'n' (narrow [mobile] menu ONLY)
.new_window:true - forces the link to open in new browser window
.url - This is the address of the page. if it is to an external page on another site it must include the full url
The two entries that are '#' are special and are configured by the website.
.forum:true - flags a forum link menu item, it will use the url provided in CuMX config, if that is blank the menu item will be hidden
.webcam:true - flags a webcam link menu item, it will use the url provided in CuMX config, if that is blank the menu item will be hidden

'''Things to note'''
* It is possible to use ''Font-Awsome'' icons in the menu
*; You don't need to add sub-menu indicator icons as this is embedded in the code.
* You can add menu dividers to the sub-menus by adding an entry as shown below:
'''{title: "", menu: "b", url: "#"}'''
*; It can be placed in both menus, only the full screen menu or the mobile menu as required.
 
====Other changes====
* If you want to change the language, simply enter translations for the titles only.
The mobile menu now collapses correctly if you select a different sub-menu - you don't have to close a submenu manually before you open another one.
* If you want to add an entry copy the entry above and edit it as required.
* To create a whole new sub-menu, copy and paste either the section that starts with the '''title: "Records"...''' or '''title: "Charts"...''' and then edit as required.
