Add page to left menu

This manual is no longer in use. Instead, you can find guidelines and instructions for working on gu.se, the Student Portal, and the Hotel Portal in Redaktörsmanual Drupal.

DescriptionThe links to pages in the left menu must be added and ordered manually by a web editor. Keep in mind that the top-level menu is always locked and you can’t add new links to it.

Do as follows:

  1. To link to a page from the left menu, switch to the “Edit” tab of the page you want to add.


  2. To access the page settings, switch to the “Menu settings” tab, which is to the right of the page’s basic form.

  3. Enter a menu link
    Check the “Enter a menu link” checkbox to activate the menu settings.
    The page will now be added to the left menu.

  4. Menu link title
    Enter the title of the menu link in the “Menu link title” field. It’s important to keep this short, understandable and unique. By default, the title is automatically added when the page is created.

  5. Description
    Enter a short description of the page in the “Description” field. This is shown when the mouse pointer is held over the menu link.

  6. Parent options
    Under the “Parent options” heading is a drop-down list of all menu links. Select the menu link under which you want to place your page as a child link.

  7. Menu Link Weight
    Change the weights of the menu links by moving them up or down.



  8. By default, the page is set to “Draft” and isn’t published.

    1. To publish the page, select “Published” from the “Save as” drop-down list and click “Save”.

    2. If you want to preview the page before publishing it, you can save it as a “Draft”. To save a draft of the page, select “Draft” from the “Save as” drop-down list and click “Save”.

    3. Once the page is published, you can change the page status to “Unpublished”.
