Header Text Menu

[Kugeleis]

I'd like to add some navigation to the header. In the docs there is the "Extra Header Menu" option. But this only works with an icon. Leaving the icon out leads to an error. How can I add a text-only entry? And is there a dropdown option?

Hi, no sorry there is no such option and I dont think we should add yet another menu type.

Lean back, I asked chatGTP:
"I found this: your menu-extra.html
which requires an icon to work. Please modify this code so that elements without icon work, too, and only show text."
And it spit out

{{ $current := .current }}
{{ template "menu-extra" dict "sect" .source "current" $current "site" $current.Site "target" .target }}


<!-- template -->
{{ define "menu-extra" }}
  {{ $current := .current }}
  {{ $site := .site }}
  {{ $target := .target }}
  {{ $sect := .sect }}

  {{ range sort (default (seq 0) $sect) "weight" }}
    {{ if isset . "ref" }}
      {{ $this := $site.GetPage .ref }}
      {{ $isCurrent := eq $current $this }}
      {{ $icon := default "" .icon }}

      {{ $name := .name }}
      {{ if reflect.IsMap .name }}
        {{ $name = (index .name $site.Language.Lang) }}
      {{ end }}

      {{ if eq $target "header" }}
        <span>
          <a
            href="{{ if .external }}
              {{ .ref }}
            {{ else }}
              {{ relref $current .ref }}
            {{ end }}"
            class="gdoc-header__link"
          >
            {{ if ne $icon "" }}
            <svg class="gdoc-icon {{ .icon }}">
              <title>{{ $name }}</title>
              <use xlink:href="#{{ .icon }}"></use>
            </svg>
            {{ end }}
            {{ $name }}
          </a>
        </span>
      {{ end }}
    {{ end }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Now I can use menu items with or without icon or text. I one is not wanted just write "".
