A lightweight menu module with Bootstrap markup: dropdowns run on the stock Bootstrap script and separators between items render properly. One level of nesting.
The core Joomla menu module does not add the classes and attributes Bootstrap needs for dropdowns, so in some templates submenus never open. GiMeSpace Bootstrapped Menu by GiMeSpace outputs the menu with that markup already in place, and navigation in a Bootstrap template behaves as the theme intends.
Features
- Menu item markup for Bootstrap dropdowns.
- Separator items between menu entries render correctly.
- Uses only the stock Bootstrap JavaScript, with no extra libraries or stylesheets.
- One dropdown level, a deliberate limit to keep the module light.
- In most Bootstrap templates, publishing it in the menu position gives the template's built-in mobile hamburger menu.
Compatibility
Joomla 4, 5 and 6. Current version 5.1, updated in JED on 10 December 2025. It fits sites with simple two-level navigation; multi-level or mega menus need a different tool.
