Overview

9 Schools and Colleges

9 Schools and Colleges

This menu should only need to be set once per site, although it may need to be updated should a college or school be added, removed or have a name change.

Bredcrumbs

The Breadcrumbs menu is created and controlled by a custom module (cu_breadcrumbs). It automatically places a home button back to https://www.creighton.edu as the first breadcrumb on the left. Additional breadcrumbs will be added depending on the page and whether it appears in a menu.

To place a link back to the home page of the site, though, you will need to add one. This should be the only link you will need to add to the menu.

Footer Vertical

This menu shows in the blue footer of every page of the site and is for things we want on any given page but do not want to display prominently.

  1. add a link (use a URL, not a drupal token, like ), following the procedures above
  2. navigate to a page which should have a Breadcrumb menu
  3. Clear cache

Header Menu

Header menu

The header menu is editable either to make site-specific top-level navigation or to add the navigation of other sites (such as www.creighton.edu) across the top.

Information For

Information For

These “quick links” are site-specific information for visitors to that site.

Main Navigation

All pages added to the menu will show here, nested appropriately under their parent pages.

Menu Icons

At present these include the following “Make a Gift”, “Campus Maps”, and “A-Z Index”. The images are created by UCOM and are set with CSS properties, so any additional links will need to created and added to the Drupal 8 platform codebase. The only difference in this menu is that the links must be exactly named one of the following:

Resources

Resources

Similar to the Menu Icons, there is a set of these links that can be added. They are and must be exactly named the following:

Transaction Menu

Transaction Menu

This menu is for calls to action and shows at the top of every page of the site.
