Hi Antony,
I followed your suggestion and it works.
I paste the code snippet in case someone else needs it.
{{
smenu = mmenu.serialize(mmenu.data)
mmenu = MENU(response.menu, _class='nav' )
lis =
smenu.elements('li.web2py-menu-expand')
for i in lis: i[0] = H4(i[0].flatten(),
_class="mfoot")
=smenu
}}
Everything is in the main layout view, after, I will think where is the
best place to manipulate the footer menu,
I do not want to put much python code in a view.
In the trunk web2py version at Revision: 17a0b1bbf2f6 (rif *)
I saw that Massimo added empty components in the MENU helper constructor,
this solve my first post traceback but your workaround is needed yet.
Many thanks both
AP
