How Do I Create A Menu Block?

[Ken.]

To create a Menu block, go to "TinyPortal > Panels & Blocks > SELECT PANEL TYPE > Add New Block". Next, enter a "Title:" for your block and then select "Menu" block-type then click save.


Now you will have several standard block options to select.

Block Frame/Looks:

• Use frame from theme
  
• Use frame, but not title
  
• Use just the title
  
• Do not use title/frame
  

Block Upshrink:

• Allow block to collapse
  
• Do not allow block to collapse
  

Who Can View Block:

• There will be a list of all membergroups to toggle from.
  
• If none are chosen, it will only show it to admin.
  
• Toggle all membergroups option
  

Who Can Edit Block:

• There will be a list of all membergroups to toggle from.
  
• Remember, "manage_blocks" and "admin" permission always give this right regardless.
  
• Toggle all membergroups option
  

Block Access:

• Show for this action(dropdown list of actions, or custom action name) - with toggle "reverse criteria" option.
  
• Show when inside this board(dropdown list of boards) - with toggle "reverse criteria" option.
  
• Show inside this TP section(dropdown list of module index's)
  
• Show when viewing this article(dropdown of written articles) - with toggle "reverse criteria" option.
  
• Show when viewing this category listing(dropdown list of categories) - with toggle "reverse criteria" option.
  
• Show for this language
  
  

Then click save. Be sure to turn your block on afterwards.
