RE: [Zope3-Users] Menus
Hi David Subject: [Zope3-Users] Menus I am curious what methods people use to implements simple web site menus? It seems to be this must be a common task. So far I've done this as follows: 1. Create a skin 2. Create a content type Menu as Ordered Container 3. Create a content type MenuItem as contained by Menu 4. Add a Menu and fill it with MenuItems 4. Register Menu 5. Create a macro which returns the Menu using zapi.getUtility() 6. Use the macro in the skin, and display all the MenuItems. Take a look at the z3c package. We buil all our menus with this concept. Even using the menu id pattern from Zope3 is possible: svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/z3c.menu/trunk/src/z3c/menu/simple Regards Roger Ineichen _ END OF MESSAGE ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

I've been successful with the browser:menu... directives in zcml. The following, as part of my browser/configure.zcml file, actually creates an IBrowserMenu utility with a name of myMenu. I have another set of menuItems for the same menu for different interfaces, so the same named menu has different items at different parts of the site. I find it handy to have this configuration in the same file where I configure the names of the pages. !-- name the menu -- browser:menu id=myMenu title=Main menu / !-- MAIN MENU -- browser:menuItems menu=myMenu for=..interfaces.IMainInterface browser:menuItem title=Main Page action=/index.html permission=zope.Public / browser:menuItem title=About Us action=aboutus.html permission=zope.Public / /browser:menuItems - Jim Washington ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
