Module Tab

Left Panel

  • Select Menu Select a menu from the list of available menus.
  • Base Item Select a menu item to always be used as the base for the menu display. You must set the Start Level to the same level or higher than the level of the base item. This will cause the module to be displayed on all assigned pages. If Current is selected the currently active item is used as the base. This causes the module to only display when the parent menu item is active.
  • Start Level Level to start rendering the menu at. Setting the start and end levels to the same # and setting Show Sub-menu Items to Show will only display that single level.
  • End Level Level to stop rendering the menu at. If you choose 'All', all levels will be shown depending on the Show Sub-menu Items setting.
  • Sub-menu Items Show or hide the sub-menu items.
