Configuration

The navigation bar configuration file is _data/navigation.yml and has 2 elements to configure, logo and links:

• logo: the path to the logo that will be located at the left of the navigation bar, e.g. /images/logo.svg. The logo size is adjusted dynamically by the user's browser, but we recommend a logo resolution of 170x50 pixels.

• links: a list of items in the navigation bar. Each item requires a title, which is the label that is visible to users on the navigation bar. The URL of each item can be specified in one of four ways:

  • For items that consists only of pages in a collection, you can use collection, specifying the collection name. The subitems and URLs will be automatically generated by Isomer.

  • For a resource room, you can specify resource_room: true. The links to the resource room and categories will be automatically generated by Isomer.

  • For a single link without subitems, simply specify the url, e.g. /category/page/ or https://www.google.com. Remember to include the https:// or http:// in front of the URL if the link is to another site/microsite.

  • For an item with custom subitems, specify the url which will be the URL the user is brought to if they click on the link on the navigation bar directly. On top of that, specify sublinks, and provide a list of sublinks following the third format above.

Sample configuration of a navigation bar in _data/navigation.yml:
