Basic Configuration
After adding the block, open its edit dialog to configure the navigation header.
The available settings are organized into several sections covering:
- Branding
- Navigation
- Layout
- Search
- Language switching
- Account access
- Community Store
- Mega menus
Recommended First Configuration
- Select the branding mode.
- Select the navigation start page.
- Enable subpages when dropdowns or mega menus are required.
- Set the maximum navigation depth.
- Select the page-navigation alignment.
- Enable the required actions.
- Arrange the desktop and mobile action order.
- Configure individual top-level pages as standard dropdowns, mega menus, or direct links.
- Save the block.
- Test the header on desktop and mobile devices.
Navigation Source
The block builds its page navigation from the selected parent page and its descendants.
The generated navigation respects:
- Page permissions
- Exclude from Nav
- Exclude Subpages from Nav
- The configured maximum depth
- Package-specific child-page settings
Pages that are excluded from navigation do not appear in standard dropdowns or mega menus.
Editing Considerations
Changes to the sitemap, page permissions, navigation attributes, or page names can affect the generated navigation without requiring the block to be recreated.
Clear the Concrete CMS cache when recent sitemap changes are not immediately visible.
