It was hard before to manage WHMCS menu, for example if you want to add new menu item, change it's place or make it hidden or shown in certain condition, or even to translate the title.

Earlier it required you to know at least the basics of HTML and CSS, or to deal with PHP sometimes.

Now you can do all of this and even more using this module that enables you to do numerous actions like adding unlimited menus and sub-menu items, identifying when and to whom each item will be displayed, add translations to several languages from the same place, changing the order of menu items using Drag-Drop technique, and many more, all of this can be done easily only with few clicks.

Key Features:

1. Add Unlimited Menus and Submenu items
2. Compatible with WHMCS Template Six and Five
3. Compatible with Custom Templates
4. Change menu items ordering with Drag-n-Drop
5. Add translation to each item easily
6. Add additional attributes to each menu item
7. Add core system URL from categorized lists, or external URL
8. Add icon to each menu item
9. Automatically display badge number (ex. Total Active Services, Open Tickets, Due Invoices, etc).
10. Choose when to display specific menu item (Visitors, Clients only, or Clients with active products, etc)
11. Open URL in the same window or in new window
12. Install WHMCS default menu items with one click

4. Now click the "Configure" button to choose who can access/manage this module, then click "Save Changes".

We will apply the practical example through the replacement of the "Primary Navbar" of Six template in client area.

   1. Group Name, Enter name for this group to make it easy for you to recognize it.
   2. Template, here's the compatibility part, you need to select the name of your template, or select "Default" if it's not listed.
   3. Install Default Menu, Use it install WHMCS default menu items, selected between Primary Navbar, Secondary Navbar,
      or None to create empty group.
   4. If you need to specify ID or Class name to this group use the "Advanced" tab, this Class name will be applied to the first <ul>,
      ex. <ul class="Group-Class-Name" id="Group-ID">
   5. Now Click "Add Group" button.

As we are going to create an alternative to WHMCS Six Template Primary Navbar, Please apply the following options:

1. Group Name: vSix Primary Navbar
2. Template: WHMCS v6 Six Template
3. Install Default Menu: Install WHMCS Primary Navbar

Now we have our menu created, and in the following section we going to learn how to integrate it into our template.

To integrate the menu that you created recently, Follow these steps:

1. Open the following file with any text editor program such as Notepad, or Notepad++,
   the file is /WHMCS-Path/templates/six/header.tpl
2. Search for this lines:

   <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
   
       {include file="$template/includes/navbar.tpl" navbar=$primaryNavbar}
       
   </ul>
   

3. Now you need to get the integration code of your menu to place it instead of the previous code,
   Go to Admin Area -> Addons -> Advanced Menu Manager, then click on the "Integration Code" button for "vSix Primary Navbar" menu group.
4. Copy the integration code and place it instead of the 3 lines mentioned in step #3.
5. Save your Changes, Done.
