So I was reading an article on craft, and found an example of something I am trying to do. Creating a global for header/footer links etc so they can be managed dynamically.

Here is a screenshot of what they did. enter image description here

I setup a Header global and Header goup for a matrix field. Any idea what field type they used to Add a row for the links?

I can't think of any field options in this matrix block to allow this kind of option. Seems like maybe this would be a custom plugin field type or something that creates this kind of option. Clicking Add a row could popup a modal to choose an entry, then inserts the url and label with the label being editable.

Anyone have any idea how they did this?

Update

I ended up finding a Craft menus plugin which is great and is now what I am going to use for my menus. You can find it here if anyone is looking for a menu system:

Looks to me like a matrix field with 1 block (Navigation) and two fields :

  1. Plain Text - Headline
  2. Table - 2 columns with headings Label (Single-line text) and URL (Single-line text)

It's worth noting that the table field doesn't have a relations column, so they're probably inserting these URLs manually.

  • Thanks that makes sense and works, would be cool to have a entries relations table for something like this.

  • Check out the Super Table plugin... It's brand new, and allows entry relations in a table format!
