Convert the index.mdx page to a dropdown button in the sidebar

[vldsg]

Hi everyone,

I need some of your help. Consider the following documentation structure:

my_section (index.mdx)
.... - topic_1.mdx
.... - topic_2.mdx
........ - my_section2 (index.mdx)
................ - topic_3.mdx

Currently my_section (index.mdx) and my_section2 (index.mdx) behave like pages, and not like dropdowns. So when I click those sections, instead of dropping down a list of available topics, the fumadocs opens it as a page.

How do I disable the page functionality for sections / index.mdx files ? I need them to behave like dropdowns.

Appreciate your help!

Kind regards

You don't need a index.mdx if you don't want it to be a page

@fuma-nama Hi! Thanks for your reply.

But how then do I need to specify the position of folders(sections) in the sidebar? - I used the sidebar_position: property in the index.mdx files.

And how then do I specify the name of the section in the sidebar? - i used the title: property in the index.mdx files before.

Hmm I guess you are coming from a background of another docs framework/generator, you can read the https://fumadocs.vercel.app/docs/ui/page-conventions guide for an overview of all supported syntax for structuring it
