Teaser menu

The Teaser menu module allows you to place the module in the template to make it accessible on all pages of the website.

The following settings can be made in the puff menu:

Starting point

Here you set where the Teaser menu should start from.

• Current page - means that the menu will start on the page the visitor is on.
• From metadata - Using the link metadata type, you can point out where in the structure the menu should start. This allows you to use the same menu module to display different content in the menu depending on where you are in the structure.
• Custom starting point - Selecting Custom start point allows you to designate a specific page in the structure where the menu should start. Click on the drop-down list that appears when you select the option to point to a page, folder or archive. The menu will always show the same content, no matter where you are in the structure. A fixed starting point can be useful for example for a top menu where the content to be displayed should always be the same.

Content

The Teaser menu can be displayed in three different ways.

• No description - displays only the title in the puff.
• Fetch description from metadata - displays header and text from metadata in the puff. Select which metadata you want to retrieve from (usually preamble) and max number of words in description.
• List subpages - displays header and names of underlying pages in the puff. You choose how many subpages you want to show and whether they should be linked separately.

Highest heading level

To enable you to have correct heading levels in the module, we have added an h2 as the default heading level. Here you can change this to suit your design and get the right heading level. It is possible to change everything from h1-h6 to be able to match the correct heading level in the puff menu.
