I am using DNN 7.x with mega menus. I have seen mega menus with categories. The category is a description under which are linked pages. As far as I can tell, the category is not a page and links to nothing.

Maybe this example helps. The home page menu has a tab named "Products" linking to a Products page. Hover over the Products tab and a drop down nav appears that looks like this:

Home Products Contact <-- This is the main menu

Widgets <-- not a web page but a category description

About widgets <-- these are sub pages of "Products"

Why our Widgets

Widget Details

Things <-- category

About Things <-- these are sub pages of "Products"

Why our Things

Things Details

Is this something that I can configure from the DDR menu that ships with DNN 7.x?

Thanks

Yes, the DDR Menu supports Templates. This means that you can create your own menu templates or modify an existing template to better fit your needs. The DDR Menu is quite flexible.

In terms of how the DDR Menu works, I would classify this as an advanced topic. You would need to learn a bit about how the menu works to create a variation that meets your needs.

There is also at least on menu template available for sale at the DNN Store: 2DNN_MegaMenuXtreme. You might consider purchasing this and customizing it. An alternative would be to have the developer of that module do the customization for you.

If you can find an example that has the look you want, seeing it in action would better help me understand how you want to do this.

In your example, Widgets and Things could be implemented as inactive pages, with the subpages under them. Does mousing over or clicking on a category do anything, or is it just a placeholder. If it is just a placeholder, the existing MegaMenu template should work just fine. Just set the inactive property for those "tabs" that you want to use as categories.

Thank you Joseph. We tweaked the css code a bit to get some formatting changes in the menu and with inactive pages as you suggested, this will work for us.
