Add Drop-Down Menu Items in Navigation Bar Categories

On your Navigation Bar/Site Menu, a drop-down for sub-menus can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:

  • Your About the Artist category (see video tutorial below)
    Separate your content into multiple pages such as
    • Bio
    • Artist Statement
    • CV
  • Collections, like:
    • Landscapes
    • Portraits
    • Still Life
  • Sub-Collections (see video tutorial below)
    Perhaps you paint oils and watercolors and have a collection for each. Within each of those you want Landscapes, Figurative, Still Life, like so:
    • Oil (collection)
      • Landscapes
      • Figurative
      • Still Life
    • Watercolor (collection)
      • Landscapes
      • Figurative
      • Still Life

NOTE: You need to set up any Collections and/or any Pages before adding them to your Navigation Bar. 
Use Pages to accommodate an Artist Statement, a CV, etc.

Set Up Drop-Down Menu Items for About Page

  • in FASO Control Panel
  • click Edit Navigation Bar or Navigation Menu (left menu bar)

  • in Menu Item Options (left column), scroll to the bottom, click on drop down arrow to the right of Pages
    NOTE: you may need to scroll down once again to see your list of Pages

  • click on a Page, hold cursor down, drag to the right column, below About
  • repeat for each page

  • Save



Set Up Drop-Down Menu for Collections

  • in FASO Control Panel
  • click Edit Navigation Bar or Navigation Menu (left menu bar)
  • in Menu Item Options (left column), click on drop down arrow to the right of Artwork
  • click on a collection, hold cursor down, drag to the right column, below Works
  • repeat for each collection
  • Save



Use Empty Link

You can also use the Empty Link option to do the same thing, as described in this video tutorial:

  • in Menu Item Options (left column), click on Empty Link
    or drag Empty Link to right column
  • drag each Collection to right column below the Empty link
  • add a title to the Empty link by clicking on the drop down arrow to the right of each Empty Link
  • click Save

Use Custom Link

NOTE: You can also use Custom Link (instead of Empty Link). 

Using the Custom Link, you are able to add your Works page url
[[yourdomainname.com/works]]
to the Custom Link url so that on your live website when the Navigation Category is clicked, the Portfolio Overview page comes up listing all collections with links to each one.

There is a limit of 10 drop-down sub-menus per category. More would be overwhelming to your collectors.


Example:

Drop-Down Menu Items are supported on any Gen 3 template released after Cosmic Chameleon.
