Customising off-canvas button

Hi
I would like to use one of my own links to show the off-canvas menu: how can I do this, please?
Regards
Miles

Hi Miles,

With "my own links" do you mean your own text?

Cheers

Hi Paul:
No, I have seen how to change the text in the template. Essentially, it's an <a></a> link that I want to use as the trigger to show the off-canvas menu.
The reason why I want to do this is to fit in with an interface that the client wants to retain.

Hope this makes sense

Hi Miles,

Not a 100% sure I'm following on this one

But adding a HTML a link isn't possible through the admin - so you would need to edit a PHP file but editing would break the off canvas displaying or working as an off canvas I would think

I'm not sure that I'm explaining myself too well!
Essentially, I don't understand how the off-canvas panel is activated so that it slides onto the screen, but I would like to use one of my 'buttons' to control that functionality.

the off-canvas panel would then display a login module

Hi Miles,

With the off canvas you enable it in the template settings and publish a module to that position

It would normally show below the menu
