Yes,
I would like the expandAll behavior to work for groups and for non-
root siteMaps.
Here's a specific use-case. The MenuWidget in the lift-widgets package
just passes everything
through as
def render : NodeSeq = {
head ++ <lift:Menu.builder expandAll="true" top:class=
{style.toString} />
}
So, even though the MenuWidget object has factory methods
for using a non-root siteMap, only the root siteMap is ever used.
That's
because Menu.builder calls a private function renderWhat, like so:
val toRender = renderWhat(expandAll)
which iterates through the root siteMap. There is no way, really, to
subclass that
to use a different siteMap.
The problem with the Menu.group snippet is that it just works off the
named group in
the root siteMap, creating a parent node, but not the kids.
It would be nice to use MenuWidget, or some subclass, to create a
superfish-style
nav-bar or horizontal menu for groups or non-root siteMaps just as
easily as for the
entire root siteMap.
