+++ title = "Menu extra shortcuts" weight = 25 +++

You can define additional menu entries or shortcuts in the navigation menu without any link to content.

Basic configuration

Edit the website configuration config.toml and add a [[menu.shortcuts]] entry for each link your want to add.

Example from the current website:

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fab fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
identifier = "ds"
url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
weight = 10

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
url = "/showcase"
weight = 11

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-bookmark'></i> Hugo Documentation"
identifier = "hugodoc"
url = "https://gohugo.io/"
weight = 20

[[menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-bullhorn'></i> Credits"
url = "/credits"
weight = 30

By default, shortcuts are preceded by a title. This title can be disabled by setting disableShortcutsTitle=true. However, if you want to keep the title but change its value, it can be overriden by changing your local i18n translation string configuration.

For example, in your local i18n/en.toml file, add the following content

[Shortcuts-Title]
other = "<Your value>"

Configuration for Multilingual mode

When using a multilingual website, you can set different menus for each language. In the config.toml file, prefix your menu configuration by Languages.<language-id>.

Example from the current website:

[Languages]
[Languages.en]
title = "Documentation for Hugo Relearn Theme"
weight = 1
languageName = "English"

[[Languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fab fa-github'></i> GitHub repo"
identifier = "ds"
url = "https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn"
weight = 10

[[Languages.en.menu.shortcuts]]
name = "<i class='fas fa-camera'></i> Showcases"
