menu = b - appears on both the full and mobile menus, w - show on full (wide) menu only, n - show on mobile (narrow) menu only | |||
You can just add new items to this object, and the new menu item will then appear on every page. So to add a Custom page add this... | |||

Submenus can also be defined, they use the property "submenu: true", and then have an array of submenu items (defined as above) added to the "items: []" array. | |||
You will also find an example extended menu called "menuSample.js" in the webfiles/js folder. | |||
Note: the forum and webcam menu items only have special properties "forum" and "webcam", these are used by the main page code to determine if these menu items should be displayed or not. | |||
