I "complained" about this limitation of the data module before. To work around this, we are using a custom tree configuration. If you have a look at some tree configurations in Magnolia, you'll see that you can activate or deactivate menu items depending on the parent node type. It's a rather complicated subject that I cannot explain in a few lines in a mail and the fact that tree configurations usually are hard coded classes in Magnolia does not make things easier as well. That's why we created the "configurable tree" [1] where you keep the tree configuration in the config repo instead of a class.
So: yes, it's feasible, but it takes more than 5 minutes to set things up (especially the first time) -will [1] http://www.fastforward.ch/web/ff/dokumentation/entwickler/magnolia_configurable_tree.html On 14.08.2012, at 20:41, Jean-Francois Nadeau (via Magnolia Forums) wrote: > I'm using the Data module.
