Jekyll Site Menus

This jekyll plugin enables enables you to define site menues within your _config.yml file.

Installation

Place the site_menus.rb file into the _plugins directory of your Jekyll site. If the directory does not exist, create it.

Usage

In your _config.yml file for your jekyll site, you can add something like the following:

menus:
    main:
    - Home: /
    - Archives: /archives/
    - About: /about/
    side:
    - Categories: /categories/
    - Tags: /tags/

Notice that you can create multiple menus.

Now, in your site's layout you can add the tag {% menu main %} to place your main menu and {% menu side %} to add your side menu to your site.

You can also specify a submenus like so:

menus:
    main:
    - Home: /
    - Art:
        - /art/
        - Archives: /art/archives/
        - About: /art/about/
    - Technology:
        - /technology/
        - Archives: /technology/archives/
        - About: /technology/about/

Keep in mind you'll probably have to modify your layout's CSS to support submenus.
