What I mean is to have the main site menu that is by default horizonal across the top of the page be on the left side of the page as a sidebar menu. Similar to the layout of this site. I want to use the standard layout page type instead of application layout. I was wondering if their was a default vertical "Site Navigation" menu for this that would show on every page. Thanks for the help.

It's best not to modify existing menus until you understand how they work, so create a new menu if you want to play around. You can create custom menus by going to
studio/builder_menu.php
, creating a new menu with any name, and importing the desired elements from any existent menu or add new ones. Next, navigate to the page where you want the menu to appear, such as for examplestudio/builder_page.php?type=system&page=sys_home
, and add a new HTML block. On the left, select "Skeleton," then choose "Menu" from right and add the page block.Position the menu as needed, then click on the page block named "Menu" to rename it in the "Title" field, adjust its visibility settings, and select the previously created menu in the "Menu" section. Activate the menu at the bottom.
To make the menu reusable, go to
studio/module.php?name=bx_developer&page=pages&bp_type=system&bp_page=sys_home
, open your menu, and enable the copyable option. You can now add this menu to other pages. For example, go tostudio/builder_page.php?type=system&page=sys_login
, add a new page block, select "Custom," and choose your previously created menu from the list.In
studio/builder_menu.php
, customize the menu's style (horizontal, vertical, etc.). You can create and position multiple menus as needed. If the existing styles don’t meet your needs and you have some coding knowledge, you can create custom style menus. Additionally, you can add icons and rename menu items to suit your preferences. Also optional if you like in the page settings, look on the right for the Enable sticky blocks option.I wish you the best of luck! If you need further details, feel free to ask. I highly recommend maintaining both a live site and a development site for testing and experimentation. Never run experiments on the live site always use a development site to test changes before applying them to the live environment. I also sent you a private link so you can see what a custom menu looks like on my site.

In my opinion, the menu layout and settings interface should get a major overall with them being mobile friendly as the main objective...
Is there perhaps already an app available?
What frustrates me at this stage is that I cannot set the style and layout of all my menu buttons at once, in one place. And, they are all not mobile-friendly.
- I suggest that all the menus should be mobile friendly with the "more" function from the word go.
I do not understand why more than one menu setup should be allocated to the same menu area of an item.
It also seems like where there is more than one menu assigned to the same app, like the timeline, they are fighting and just messing things up.

Each site owner has the possibility to customize the menus according to their preferences cloning a standard template by modifying the CSS. Additionally, owners can hire a designer to create the site exactly as they wish. The “UNA” team cannot create a design that will please everyone, as each site owner has unique needs and preferences. UNA is a framework on which you can build and customize according to your vision. Think of “UNA” like a new house that you buy; then you paint it and decorate it however you like. There is also an application available if you want https://github.com/unacms/una-mobile-app
