Question

I got a task to make two navigation menus on a site:

1. ‘Main’ menu (“About”, “Contacts”, etc)
2. Catalogue menu (“Projects”, “Gallery 1”, “Gallery 2” etc)

I know that I could use something django-sitetree – but it is pretty complicated to give it to the customer 🙁

How can I do it via Django CMS?

upd:

Seem that the best thing is to make two ‘folders’ that just won’t be shown in navigation (there is a special checkbox for that).

Answer 1

django-cms has it’s own built in menu system.
For example this snippet will load a full menu. Pages and subpages.

{% load menu_tags %}
<ul>
    {% show_menu 0 100 100 100 %}
</ul>

You should read this page here to see all the different menus you can get from django-cms.

And all the work is done for you!

If you have a custom app and would like to build up a menu yourself then that too is very easy. The best is to read this page, even copy paste this code and put in your own stuff.
