MegaMenus Installation for 2013 / 2016 / 2019 


  • Mega Menus for SharePoint On-Premise, is a SharePoint Solution Package (WSP).​
  • We provide a package with an installer applciation.
  • Once installed the solution package into your SharePoint farm, activate the site collection feature that enables the Mega Menus, and configure it.

 

  • Simple Mega Menus is built on top of SharePoint's Publishing Navigation, so Publishing Feature must be enabled before using Mega Menus.​Mega Menus also needs a 3rd party JavaScript library called jQuery.
  • We provide this library when Mega Menus is installed, however, if your site already is using jQuery, we need to avoid conflicts, so one jQuery must be disabled, either yours or the one provided with Mega Menus.
  • You need Farm Administrator permissions to be able to install this solution package and deploy it on all WFE servers.
  • Apps Dashboard solution needs to be installed for jQuery and to allow configuration of MegaMenu
