How to configure the menu from config.toml

[kamar535]

Using this theme I can successfully add a weight in the page front-matter.

Usually the menu for a Hugo site can also be configured from the config.tom file by adding entries to [[menu.main]], see https://gohugo.io/extras/menus/

But, for this theme this does not work, is there another way to configure the menu from config.toml?

Hugo version: 0.21

Hello @kamar535 , this theme does not use Hugo menus at all. The menu is automatically generated from sections.

In the FrontMatter of your pages, the Title parameter will be used as label of the menu. The weight will be used to order sections in the menu.

Tanks for the answer.

Maybe the theme documentation could mention https://gohugo.io/content-management/sections/ and that the menu can only be configured from the pages front matter.

Actually, the theme is currently on a rewrite to use latest features of Hugo: nested sections. In the future release, menu will be also generated automatically but infinite level of sections will be possible!

Therefore, the documentation will be updated as well.

This is an old thread but hope it's ok to chip in? I like Learn a lot and just want to simplify the (side) menu, eliminating the parts not generated from my content i.e. everything under 'More' and the search box. Must be an easy way... I get a bit lost in the docs.

Hi Amberalpha, you've probably found the solution. Just delete any [[menu.shortcuts]] in config.toml
My own question to @matcornic : firstly a great theme, and I've used 4 different ones on live sites, I'll contribute. Question is can I change the "MORE" wording in menu to "Latest Addition" ? Been searching for ages but cannot find. Thanks

Ignore last question - found "More" is set in the i18n folder under en.toml
