Menu Tag
This tag generates links that toggle the display of an entry-specific menu when clicked. It is particularly useful on list-style pages where you have several entries on the page and you’d like users to be able to manage individual entries without clicking through to a permalink page.
The Missing Link head and body tags are required for menu links to function correctly.
Basic Syntax
Unlike the other Missing Link functions {exp:missing_link:menu} is a tag pair. This gives you full control over the text/image used for the menu link. The following example will generate a ‘Manage this entry’ link which will trigger an entry menu when clicked.
{exp:missing_link:menu entry_id='{entry_id}'}
Manage this entry
{/exp:missing_link:menu}
Advanced Syntax
In order to retain complete flexibility over the inline menu link’s markup it’s also possible to use an advanced syntax to provide additional markup that should appear before/after the link itself. This example outputs the ‘Manage this entry’ link within a list item.
{exp:missing_link:menu entry_id='{entry_id}'}
<li>{link}Manage this entry{/link}</li>
{/exp:missing_link:menu}
Parameters
entry_id
entry_id="{entry_id}"
The tag requires that you provide a valid entry ID.
instant_edit
As of Missing Link 1.4 this parameter has been deprecated. You should use the new link tag to generate one-click edit links.
class
{exp:missing_link:inline entry_id='{entry_id}' class='admin_link'}
Manage this entry
{/exp:missing_link:inline}
You can specify a custom CSS class for the inline menu links via the class parameter.
