Hello! There is a directory component. How to make it so that when adding a section for products, an item is automatically created in the drop-down menu in the Bitrix system?

Answer 1

If the menu structure matches the directory structure - just make a menu_ext.php file where we write to the Bitrix API to receive the structure of the directory sections. Next, add or delete a section - the menu will be reformatted automatically.
