CMS Kit: Menus

CMS Kit Menu system allows to manage public menus dynamically.

Enabling the Menu Feature

By default, CMS Kit features are disabled. Therefore, you need to enable the features you want, before starting to use it. You can use the Global Feature system to enable/disable CMS Kit features on development time. Alternatively, you can use the ABP's Feature System to disable a CMS Kit feature on runtime.

Check the "How to Install" section of the CMS Kit Module documentation to see how to enable/disable CMS Kit features on development time.
