Customising the menu_items blade file?

[fronbow]

Hi All

Is there any way of customising the menu_items.blade.php file?
I've already utilised the @can permissions for displaying purposes but I want to serve a different menu for a specific page?

Currently my theme is using a modified tabler with the vertical layout (vertical sidebar menu) but I have a page I want to serve that needs the menu to be at the top of the page layout with a subset of the existing menu? (It's to be displayed on a touch screen display, so screen real estate is crucial).

It would be nice if there was a way of having the menu_items.blade.php be a stub for pulling in other menus depending on scenario but that could be a possible feature request?!

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Hey @fronbow

Can you explain with graphics/screenshots? This will help me to understand the exact need!

So far, what I understood is

• You want to Switch the layout on a specific page
  -- You will need to create a middleware similar to this one. Don't use the session; just change the condition to fit your specific need.
• You want to alter menu items on a specific page.
  -- Create two different menu blade files, and @include() them in the menu_items.blade.php conditionally.

Sorry for the late reply, been away from my desk, I ended up doing it the second way and did the conditional check for the page. Cheers @karandatwani92 :)
