Backend

To find the UberTheme UB Mega Menu Magento 2 extension settings, go to Content -> UB Mega Menu -> Manage Menu. The Manage Menu Groups page is available here. The page contains a grid with the following columns:

• ID – each menu gets an ID number;
• Title – you assign a title to each menu;
• Menu Key – as well as a URL key;
• Animation Type – this columns illustrate a type of animation applied for the menu;
• Store View – a corresponding store view;
• Status – enabled or disabled;
• Created – time and date of the menu creation;
• Modified – when the menu was modified
• Action – a column where you can Edit, Delete, Manage Menu Items, or Make Duplicate (to customize it in accordance of another store view).

To find a certain menu group, the UberTheme UB Mega Menu Magento 2 extension allows you to apply filters. Alternatively, the Magento 2 module allows you to use search. Besides, you can hide any of the aforementioned columns and save the new grid view for further usage. As for bulk actions, they are: Delete, Disable, Enable, and Edit.

While adding a new menu group (a big bright button above on the right), you should specify a  list of basic parameters:

• Menu Title – anter a menu name here;
• Menu Identifier – an identifier used to call the menu group;
• Animation Type – an animation effect to display sub-menu items – 10+ effects;
• Store View – select a store view to use the menu with;
• Description – create a description for the menu;
• Status – Enabled or Disabled.

Apply changes and save the new menu group. If you are worried about how to choose a menu type – horizontal or vertical, we will describe it right now. First of all, you should return to the previous grid. Here in the “Action” column, select “Manage Menu Items”.

You will be redirected to the following screen:

Here, you can select a menu layout (UB Top Menu or UB Left Menu), expand or collapse all, add a new menu item, or importa a category tree.

This is how the Import page works: you select categories and choose parent items.

Note that each tree element can be enabled or disabled. Besides, you can delete it as well as add a new sub-element.

While editing an existing menu item, you have to deal with 2 tabs of settings: Basic Settings and Mega Settings.

The first one displays appropriate manu group and allows you to select a parent item. Besides, you can add a title, decide whether it will be shown or not, upload a custom menu icon, and add a custom font by filling in an appropriate Font-awesome name. Next, choose a link type: Category Page, CMS Page, or Custom Link. Depending on the chosen parameter, further options vary a little bit. In case of a category page link, you should select a category, decide whether to show number product or not, specify a link target (self, blank, top, parent), as well as choose status (enabled/disabled).

In Mega Settings, you enable/disable group items and specify a sub-menu content type (Child Menu Items, Static Blocks, or Custom Content). Further options vary depending on the chosen parameter. Thus, for child Menu items, you should add a description and specify the number of columns. Next, decide what should be a sub-menu column width as well as a wrapper width. Alternatively, you can add your custom CSS in the Extra Class field.
