[Carbon-dev] Carbon Management Console Left Menu

2011-05-15 Thread Chanaka Jayasena
Hi all,

I am doing an update to the Carbon management console left menu base on an
offline discussion I had with Azeez. This is not yet committed to the trunk.
Screen shot is attached with this mail. The idea is to show the frequently
used menu items as Main Menu and hide the long list of Configuration
menu items.

thanks,
Chanaka

This looks great. The Configure Menu at the top is less frequently used. The
way Chanaka has implemented it, there is minimal change, only to the
template.jsp.

We will need better names for the menus buttons. Configurre Menu can be
renamed to Configure. Main menu can be Main?

Hi Chanaka,

I'm not trying to ask a lot here.

But, in the same way that you added the configure menu, there can be other
menus which is better to be hidden as such. For example, G-Reg has a menu
titled 'Extensions' which allows users to deploy extensions, such as
Handlers and Lifecycles. This too is a hindrance and takes up some space on
the left side.

So, is this implementation something extensible in way that we could do
something similar for that menu as well?

Yes. Senaka. It is possible. But right now the left side strip is
done completely by client side HTML DOM manipulation. I am bit unclear about
product specific menu items. Let's give it a try and see.
