Autopopulate Dropdown Menu with Folder Items

[marcocamilo]

Bug description

I'm trying to set the menu to auto populate with the contents of my portfolio folder, but with no success. I don't know if it's possible to have it auto fill with the contents of a folder, but if so, how would it be possible?

website:
  title: "name"
  navbar:
    background: white
    foreground: black
    right:
      - href: index.qmd
        text: Home
      - text: Portfolio
        menu:
          - portfolio/*

Could you properly format your post using code blocks for code and terminal outputs? Thanks.
If your code contains code blocks, you need to enclose it using more backticks, i.e., usually four ````.
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#formatting-make-githubs-markdown-work-for-us.

As "documented" menu does not take glob.
Did you look at hybrid navigation? https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-navigation.html#hybrid-navigation

Yes, but I only saw the option content: auto applying to the sidebar, not the top navigation.

I have a collection of pages under a portfolio directory. I'd like to display the pages as a dropdown from the top navigation bar, without having to write each entry. I saw the page you suggested, but it's not clear how to use the available features to achieve this. Is it possible?

Look at the documentation I shared.
Define a sidebar and use that sidebar in your navbar as illustrated with code and screenshot.
