The JavaScript-based context-sensitive pop-up menu (or simply "pop-up menu" for short) contains functions that are specific to the item from which the menu was invoked. That is, the menu is context-sensitive, providing quick access to commonly-used functions. In the secondary menu, clicking the icon (with the left mouse button) to the left of the name of the node displays the pop-up menu. The following screenshot shows a pop-up menu.
Context-sensitive pop-up menu
This screenshot shows the pop-up menu in the Content structure tab. The title at the top of the menu is the name of the node or object that was clicked. In the example above, a node called "Press Releases" was clicked.
The following list is an explanation of some of the basic menu items on the pop-up menu:
- View: selects the current node and displays it in the main area.
- Edit: activates edit mode (where you can edit content using the Object Edit Interface) for the selected node. For multilingual sites, the text displayed here is "Edit in", and the sub-menu lets you select the language to use for editing.
- Copy/move/remove: triggers the corresponding action for the selected node.
- Expand/collapse: a feature that can be used to explore a subtree without having to repeatedly click the + and - buttons.
