Usage

Allocating Menus to Pages

1. Edit a page in the ProcessWire admin.
2. In the page editor, you'll see a "Menus" section where you can select the menus for that page.
3. Choose the menus you want to allocate to the page.
4. Save the page.

Retrieving Menu Pages

You can retrieve pages associated with a specific menu using the getPageArray method provided by the module:

// Example usage to retrieve pages associated with the 'top' menu
$topMenuPages = $modules->get('MenuAllocator')->getPageArray('top');

// Example usage to retrieve pages associated with the 'footer' menu
$footerMenuPages = $modules->get('MenuAllocator')->getPageArray('footer');

// Now $topMenuPages and $footerMenuPages contain arrays of pages associated with the respective menus

// Example: Display the 'top' menu
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($topMenuPages as $page) {
    echo '<li><a href="' . $page->url . '">' . $page->title . '</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';

// Example: Display the 'footer' menu
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($footerMenuPages as $page) {
    echo '<li><a href="' . $page->url . '">' . $page->title . '</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
