Features in Detail
Header Menus
Description
The plugin creates an admin panel to define up to 5 links or popup menus in the Confluence header bar.
Usage
The admin panel can be accessed in one of two ways. There is a link titled Configure Header Menus that will appear in the Look and Feel section of the left sidebar on administrative pages. There is another link using the Configure button from the expanded view of the Header Menus plugin in the Manage Add-ons page.
The plugin can create 0 to 5 menu items. There are 5 corresponding sections in the configuration page each of which has three fields: Label, URL, and Popup Menu. For each of the configurations, if there is no label, no item will be placed into the header menu. If there is nothing in the popupmenu text area, then clicking on the menu item will take you to the specified url. If there is something in the popupmenu text area, then the url will be ignored as the popup menu will be shown when the item is clicked.
Creating a Dropdown menu
The drop down menu for each of the header bar is created by entering text into the popupmenu text area. A link is represented by a label, a comma, and the associated url. For example, "Google,https://www.google.com"
If you add a line without a comma, it is treated as a section heading. If you add a line with one or more dashes, "-", that will start a new section that effectively adds a horizontal line above the entry.
