Quick Menu

The Quick menu is a one level menu which is defined by two javaScript configuration files found in ky_wapp.wappsky_menu: links.js and pref.js .
In the pref.js, the type should be set to “QuickMenu” and the hook called in the faceJSON file is "KYMENU", as was shown in the example previously.

Image 2: Example of horizontal top menu

The following show example codes for the faceJSON file and the links file.

faceJSON (ky_QuickMenu_LeftMenu.js)

{
	"author": "Kyube Inc",
	"startup" : "face1_tpl",
	"face1_tpl" : {
		"initialize" :  ["KYMENU1"], 
		"KYMENU1" : {
			"type" : "client",
			"hook" : "KYMENU",
			"menuID" : "leftMenu"
                }
        }
}

faceJSON (leftMenu_links.js)

{
    "links" : [
       {
        "label" : "Home", 
        "URL" : "index.html"       
       },    
       {            
       "label" : "About Us",  
       "URL" : "aboutUs.html"        
       },     
       {            
        "label" : "Contact Us",   
        "URL" : "contactUs.html",
        "linkType" : "popup", 
        "linkParam" : "resizable=yes,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,
                    fullscreen=no,dependent=no,width=700,height=600,left=200"
       }     
    ]
}

"linkType": define the target of the link

"linkParam": additional properties for the link target

As indicated the code example above, the quick menu links have 2 additional properties which are linkType, linkParam.
The linkType allows you to open the links of your menu in a popup browser instead of the parent browser itself.

We have provided you with a list of different available styles.
A style is defined by its links and pref files.
Download styles
Unzip the contents of the downloaded folder and place them in the ky_menu folder in your site, and you try out different menu styles.
Dont forget to include the faceJSON file too and use the proper menuID.
