From 10664be26668916baa3147f030e1663570a182bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabrizio Ferri Benedetti Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:51:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat: add dropdown: section flavor to navigation_preview.yml top nav MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Extends the section: entry shape in navigation_preview.yml with a dropdown: key that renders a panel of links instead of navigating to a tree section. Config layer: - Add SiteDropdownLinkRef record (title + url) - Extend SiteSectionRef with DropdownLinks property and IsDropdown flag - Parse dropdown: sequences in SiteTableOfContentsCollectionYamlConverter; each item is a {title, url} mapping Builder (SectionTopNavBuilder): - When IsDropdown, prepend the site prefix to each link URL and emit a TopNavDropdownItem with a single flat TopNavGroup (null label) Template (_SecondaryNav.cshtml) and JS (secondary-nav.ts) required no changes — TopNavDropdownItem rendering and close-on-click behaviour were already implemented. navigation_preview.yml: add Products dropdown with four solution links as a concrete example between the APIs external tab and Reference.
