Menu
Last modified: 28-08-2023By far the most information can be found in the menu structure. There is a menu structure at both the top and bottom of the page. The menu at the top of the page is used for most information and may contain submenus, in order to group information more closely. The menu used at the bottom of the page contains by default the pages Privacy, General terms and conditions and Cookies. This menu is also expandable for information, but cannot contain submenus.
Both top and bottom menu structures can be customised. The procedure explained in this article is the same for both structures. This article focuses mainly on the menu structure at the top of the page.
Content:
- Add menu item
- Change menu item
- Move menu item
- Delete menu item
- Menu on sub site page
- Menu on campaign page

1. Add menu item
The Add menu item button adds a new menu item. Below is an overview of the form:
Menu item name
This is the name as the item is displayed in the menu bar.
Visibility
Adjust the visibility of the menu item. By default, the item is shown in the menu. You can choose to hide it in the menu and make the item accessible only via direct URL.
Access
Make the menu item visible and accessible only to logged-in visitors.
Menu type
You have a choice of 4 types for your menu item:
Below we treat all variants.
1.1 Content page
Title
This title will appear at the top of the page.
URL
Define the URL of page yourself, for example https://www.voorduurzamewereld.nl/over-ons. This is the part after the forward slash.
Content
The actual content seen on the page. Think here of paragraphs of text, bullet points, links, images and videos.
Downloads
Offer files as downloads. Think of participant rules, files to share via social media, etc. After adding a file, you can see the download in the menu item (at the 'front'). If you open the file and copy the link behind it, you can link to it.
You could even create a separate page of downloads and hide it in the menu, so it is not visible to visitors. Then you can use the direct url to see the downloads and be able to copy direct links to them. Within our platform, this is the way to upload files yourself!
You can also choose to request the data when uploading a download. In this case, someone has to leave a name and email address. This can generate potential leads!
Frequently asked questions
Add frequently asked questions to the content page to catch any questions already. You do this by adding a question and answer.
1.2 Link to page
Would you like to link to an internal or external page in the menu? You can do so with this menu type. An internal page, e.g. the login flow can be called with /join. Within the Kentaa platform there are a number of static pages that can be linked to:
- /updates
- /news-items
- /news-items/tags/<tag>
- /fundraisers
- /participants
- /teams
- /projects
- /projects/tags/<tag>
- /donate
- /donate/choose
- /donors
- /tips
You can also enter external websites, e.g.: https://www.google.com. Make sure to include http:// or https:// in the link. If you do not do this, it will try to find this page internally and generate an error message.
1.3 Contact page
It is possible to include a contact form in the menu, using the menu type Contact page. Once you choose this type, the following fields will appear:
Contact e-mail
The e-mail address to which the contact form will be sent.
Content
The content is displayed above the form. A great place for e.g. address details, Chamber of Commerce number and VAT number or an introduction of the contact person.
1.4 Customised form (invisible)
The last option is the Customised Form. Is the contact form not quite to your taste, or do you want to ask people to leave their details for a survey or a pre-registration? This is all possible with the customised form. As this functionality is somewhat technical, for now it is only possible for the Kentaa employee to set this up.
So be sure to get in touch if you want a customised form created in the menu.
Add submenu item
To group information, it is possible to add a submenu under an existing menu item. This sets up the menu bar in a compact and clear way.
Create a submenu item by clicking ⟶ Add subitem .
You can create an unlimited number of sub-menu items, although it is advised to limit this to a maximum of 5 items. A sub-submenu cannot be created.
2. Move menu item
The menu items can be changed using drag and drop.
3. Delete menu item
Behind a menu item, click ⟶ Remove to delete the menu item.
Note: deleted menu items cannot be recovered!
4. Menu at the bottom of the page
Kentaa always delivers a Kentaa website with a default text for these pages. The content of these pages can still be modified via the Kentaa Dashboard. Due to space limitations, it is not possible to create submenu items in this menu.
The responsibility and liability lies with you for correctly using the standard texts provided by Kentaa and correctly requesting permission for data processing from web visitors. Kentaa takes care of asking permission to place cookies and whether or not to place the cookies based on the web visitor's cookie settings. The mandatory pages are provided with version control. Once a change is made to these pages, it is saved as a new version. This is important for storing the website visitor's "consent". The consent always stores the then current version number. The version number is displayed on the pages (visible to visitors).
5. Menu on sub site page
A menu can also be created at the top of the page on the sub site page. By default, the menu from the website level is adopted, but this can be overwritten. See the demonstration below to switch at sub site level from the menu from website level to your own (newly built) menu structure.
6. Menu on campaign page
The menu on the campaign page works slightly differently. Here it is not the menu at the top or bottom of the page, but its own menu structure on the campaign page (see image).
For each campaign/event page, there are a number of menu items that are added automatically and a bunch of configurable menu items.
Automatically added menu items:
- Campaign or Event (shows the description of the campaign)
- Donors
- News
Donors and News are only visible if a donation or news item has been made under the campaign.
Three menu items can be added per campaign and one menu item specifically for contact details.
