Glenn,
I've added another Loc param:
/**
* Allows extra access testing for a given menu location such that
* you can build a menu that is displayed but redirects the user to a
login
* page if they are not logged in
*/
case class TestAccess(func: () => Box[LiftResponse]) extends LocParam
This will let you write a function that tests access for the page and return
a RedirectResponse if the user needs to log in. It will not impact the
display of the menu item.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
David
