Module Title

mnuText_{menuName} (Config)

Description

The mnuText configuration file defines the text, links, and other attributes of horizontal and vertical text menus created by fwpGui_hTextMenu and fwpGui_vTextMenu. These files can go in either the /site/configs/ folder or a module's /_resources/configs/ folder.

The file extension is programmer defined using $fw_gCnfgExt.

Syntax

menuLink```menuName```menuIndent```menuHighlight\r

Parameters & Member Tags

Each menu item is on a separate line. For both vertical and horizontal menus, there are four items:

menuLink - the pathname to a page

menuName - the menu item title

menuIndent - the number of spaces or fill characters defined by the tag to insert for indenting (ignored by horizontal menus)

menuHighlight - the highlight method {none|page|path}. Highlighting of the current menu item is handled with a CSS span class name of fwptxtmenuhilite.

Vertical menus require indent values, even if set to zero. Horizontal menus will ignore indent values (so the same file can be used for both), or indent values can be eliminated.

Files can have blank lines and lines that start with # or // for commenting.
