Side Menu Drop Downs

Post by igt »

I would like to put some drop-downs in my side menu, which currently uses a proxy. Has anyone done this before? Looking to make it appear like the one below. Can anyone assist?

Why not just use the Side Nav menu instead of a menu proxy?

Many years ago (before Flare had a Side Nav menu) I used the third-party smartmenus (https://www.smartmenus.org) control to convert a Flare menu proxy into an accordion menu. Smartmenus did work, but I'd still suggest using Flare's Side Nav unless you've got a really good reason not to.

You see the Side Nav menu when you use a HTML5 skin and set the Main Menu Position to Left (or Right).
If you're adding a new skin, there's a default skin called HTML5 - Side Navigation.
