What are informers in the menu

An informer takes the place of a menu item, but instead of leading to a page, it shows a control element. In the site structure they look like regular items — you can tell them apart by the address: it starts with a hash (#logo, #theme), because an informer has no page of its own.

What's available in the engine:

• design and navigation — logo, custom text, link, a "Catalog" button with a mega menu, language switcher, city selection, light and dark theme toggle;
• store — cart, favorites, site search, product filter;
• user — greeting, balance, a reminder to change a temporary password;
• communication — chat and multichat with the unread count, a "Chat on site" button in the corner of the page, news subscription;
• other — a button for installing the site as an app on a phone.

To add an informer, create an item and in the section window click "Select" next to the "Module" field: informers are collected in the "Informers" category. An informer is moved and styled like a regular item: by dragging, with the "Orientation" field — column and menu tier, and with the gear — appearance. Its own parameters live behind the "Module settings" button. An informer can also be placed on a page as a section — it looks the same as in the menu.

If it didn't work

• The informer disappeared from the menu. Check the "Access level": for informers it works the same way as for sections.
• The language switcher isn't shown. It appears only when at least a second language is enabled on the site.
• The informer can't be deleted, it only gets hidden. Only system ones behave this way: logo, city, theme, greeting, balance and password reminder. The rest are deleted in the usual way.
