Craig and Alessandro, Thank you for your help. I ended up doing as Alessandro suggested and passing urls/labels in the update_params method (Still in old TW). All permission logic is handled in this method and only menu items that are visible to a particular user are passed.
I did try passing the entire tg module as Craig mentioned. It worked, but I have no idea what performance or other penalty may be incurred. I guess it boils down to where you want to do the majority of your menubar logic, and I am happy to keep it out of the template. - Shane On Saturday, May 4, 2013 7:36:16 AM UTC-5, Craig Small wrote: > > On Sat, May 04, 2013 at 12:27:34AM +0200, Alessandro Molina wrote: > > as you already noticed widgets are rendered in a different context > from > > the page templates, widgets templates are usually not meant for doing > much > > computation.
