Navigation

Varbase 11.0.x provides a streamlined navigation experience for both site administrators and content editors. Navigation configuration in Varbase is handled through two primary components: the Navigation module for the main admin navigation interface and the Menu Position module for defining active menu trails on the front end.

Navigation Module

The Navigation module provides the primary admin navigation interface in Drupal. It replaces the traditional toolbar with a modern, sidebar-based navigation system that gives administrators and editors quick access to content management, configuration, and other administrative functions.

The Navigation module is installed and configured as part of the Varbase Admin Base recipe.

Menu Position Module

The Menu Position module allows site builders to define rules that automatically set the active menu trail based on the content being viewed. This is particularly useful for content types that do not have a direct menu link but should still highlight a specific menu item when displayed.
