In my code I generate my menus programmatically. It makes for a much easier way of handling things Plug I can use the Internationalization in theme items. It makes it easier to allow or deny menu items based on user and roles.
My system is to have a main MB function and then for each Manu if allowed call a function to generate the new menu. Each Manu function then makes its won menu bar menu. If I need to change a menu bar name I can do so when generating the Manu bar. If I have a child or submenu its also its own function. But I don’t use the IDE for any of my menu bars any longer. I also sounds like the menu bar and menus in the IDE will be changing with the new 4D project stuff anyways so my programatic way seems to still work well. > On Jan 21, 2020, at 9:36 AM, Jody Bevan via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Ferdinando: > > I have never changed the name, I have only ever added, or removed menus. > Maybe you need to wipe out the menu and recreate it.
