Common Content Tabs
There are standard Drupal tabs used when creating content in EthosCE, such as basic page, learning group, and courses. These tabs are located at the bottom of the editing page.
Menu settings tab
Click “Menu settings" tab.
Check “Provide a menu link” checkbox.
Type a title into the “MENU LINK TITLE” field. This is the title that will appear in your navigation. If you do not type in a title, your page will not show up in the navigation.
Type help text into the “DESCRIPTION” field to add text that will appear when hovering over the menu item.
Click on the dropdown under “PARENT ITEM” and select the link you would like your page to appear beside or beneath. “<Main menu>” is typically where the main navigational items are listed.
Use the “WEIGHT” dropdown field to set the position at which the menu item will appear in the menu.
Revision information tab
If revisions are enabled, a Revisions tab on the landing page will become available to view a log of the revisions. Revisions can be reverted if need be.
