Customising the View and Edit Menus

This tutorial shows you how to customise items on the View and Edit menus...

Menu Classes

The menu items on the view and edit menu each have a unique class name that allows them to be customised using style sheets.

We'll discuss the various style sheets that can be applied later in this tutorial, but first you will need to know what all the class names are and which menus they relate to:

Style Sheets

Hiding Menu Items

To hide a menu item, add a new style to the [Builder Theme Configuration] as shown in the example below:

.menu-separator-2, .menu-mail {
 display: none;
 visibility: false;
}

This will hide the Mail item on the View menu. Because that item has a separator bar above it, we've also hidden that.

Text Prefixes and Suffixes

As you've probably noticed, the View menu and it's Account menu item have sprouted Italian and Japanese translations. Here's how it was done.

.menu-view div:before {
 content: "Vista/";
}

.menu-view div:after {
 content: "/??";
}

.menu-account td.label:before {
 content: "Cliente/"
}

.menu-account td.label:after {
 content: "/??";
}

We applied the style just to this page by using the [style macro].

Colours

You can change the background colour of an entire sub-menu as shown in the example below:

.sub-menu-other-pages {
 background-color: #FFFFC0;
}
