Introduction

This presents a proposal for re-working the V2 Main Menu and Footer

V2 Main Menu

The menu contents listed in the next section contain:

1. Current menu items that have already been implemented, or will be implemented in the next release
2. Future menu items that will not be implemented in the next release

In order to be able to test the full menu layout, including the future menu items, we should implement an application settings flag that controls whether the future menu items will be displayed. The future menu items can temporarily be linked to '#'. Use the following settings variable:

• Settings.SXS.Application.FutureMenuEnabled

This setting should be set to false in config/settings.yml, and then enabled, if necessary, in config/settings.local/yml.

1. The main menu should be left justified and be able to use the entire width of the screen
   1. Note that currently it is width limited and centered

2. The left most menu entry, in a larger font, should display the project short name taken from Settings.SXS.Application.Name

   1. The currently displayed fixed text SoftXS, from Settings.SXS.Application.Supplier, should be removed

   2. This should be a link that goes to application's home page

Menu When Not Logged-In
