How To Put Module In Mega Menu - Helix Ultimate Theme
Hayden Thring
Hi, I have the theme installed only, (and SPPB) (but not helix framework)
I also set up quick start on local machine as a copy of the demo to explore the admin.
I can see that a menu given the name 'mainmenu' wil be shown in thee main menu mega menu section of the template automatically, without having the have it assigned as a module.
Now with the demo it also hase 2 modules inside the menu section titled "Mega", that shows a picture of some food, and also another module of latest articles.
I can see that there are 2 modules set up for this in the modules section, but they both dont have a position assigned.
So what i cant work out is how are these modules being chosen/known about by the template to load in ?

Accepted AnswerOk, I tracked it down. The module ID's are 'hard' coded in the params field for the mainmenu item in menu table. Im guessing this is editable with the helix framework installed, but otherwise invisible except for looking at the db.
Here is data

Thanks for contacting us.
Here is the documentation on menu, advanced submenu and megamenu:

You will find a section below named as 'How to add a module inside the submenu', it will help you to figure out this:)
