= Hierarchical navigation menus = == Description == - Add items to navigation menus - Hierachical organization (using Superfish - http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/ ) PS: - CSS work might be needed to fit your trac theme. == Demo == See it in action: http://code.optaros.com/trac/oforge/ == Bugs/Feature Requests == Existing bugs and feature requests for MenusPlugin are [query:component=MenusPlugin&order=priority here]. If you have any issues, create a [/newticket?component=MenusPlugin&owner=cbalan new ticket]. == Download, Source == Download the [download:menusplugin zipped source], check out MenusPlugin [/svn/menusplugin from here using Subversion], or [source:menusplugin browse the source] with Trac. == Configuration == As usual, configuration takes place in the `trac.ini` file. Most interesting things first - they are to be found in the `[mainnav]` section: Here you set up your menu items. Syntax is: `<item_name>.<property> = <value>` - where `<item_name>` is either the already existing handler (e.g. "wiki" for the wiki item, "tickets" for the tickets, "newticket" for the "New Ticket" item, a.s.o.) - or a term which ''must not exist'' for a brand new item to be introduced (as e.g. the "Team Tools" in the [#Example Examples] section). A special case is e.g. `top` to make a new item appearing on top level. === Defining your menus in the `[mainnav]` section === So here come the available properties and their possible values: ||'''Property'''||'''Description'''||'''Example value'''|| ||parent||Make the item a sub-item to the one mentioned as value||top|| ||label||What should be written on the "button"||Team Tools|| ||href||Where the item should link to||/report/1|| ||enabled||Must be set to `1` for self defined items to be shown. Can be set to `0` to (temporarily) disable an item.||1|| ||hide_if_no_children||Don't display this (sub) menu if it has no children (e.g. the current user lacks the privileges for all sub-items)||1|| ||perm||For items like reports, `hide_if_disabled` does not work, since this is no component. Though, it should not be displayed if it is not available. So you can handle this by defining the required permission.||REPORT_VIEW|| ||order||Move an item to the left/right. By default, all items have an order of 999 (who will ever reach 999 items must have done something wrong, really!). Use values from 1..999 to define positions. Use a negative value for an item you want to make sure it always comes first - and a value larger than 999 if it sould always come last.||5|| ||path_info||String to be matched with the request path info to decide whether a menu item should be displayed. Useful for context dependent items (e.g. in the ctxnav)||/wiki|| Menu options: - '''inherit''': Useful when a menu should receive items from another menu {{{ # dummy example - add mainnav items to context menu. [ctxtnav] inherit= mainnav }}} === Defining the behaviour in the `[menu-custom]` section === Here you can (re-)define (i.e. customize) the behavior of MenusPlugin. Usually, you won't need that - since the defaults are fine. But in case you need a toy to play with - here we go: Syntax is quite easy, it's just `<option> = <value>`. Available options are: ||'''Option'''||'''Description'''||'''Default'''|| ||managed_menus||Which menus should be maintained by the plugin.||mainnav,metanav|| ||serve_ui_files||Whether the required UI files (i.e. `*.js` and `*.css` files) should be linked into the page. Boolean value.||1|| The `serve_ui_files` option you will only need to override if you want to apply your own styles and need to suppress the original ones for this. Rare case - but who knows? == Example == Demo config: {{{ ... [components] tracmenus.* = enabled [mainnav] # Create a new top-level element for "Team Tools" - make sure to set it to "enabled" or it doesn't show up! teamtools = enabled teamtools.parent = top teamtools.label = Team Tools # Do not display this menu if it has no children (e.g. visitor has no permission to any) teamtools.hide_if_no_children = 1 # Now add the discussion plugin here discussion = enabled discussion.parent = teamtools # Add the worklog here as well worklog.parent = teamtools # Add more things... ... # rename "Browse Source" to "Code" browser.label = Code # Add some entry points to the code browser code_trunk = enabled code_trunk.parent=browser code_trunk.href=/browser/trunk code_trunk.label=Trunk # this is no component - so to hide it if not available, we need a trick code_trunk.perm = BROWSER_VIEW # Add some reports to the ticket item special_report = enabled special_report.parent=tickets special_report.href=/report/7 special_report.label=My Tickets # same trick as above required here special_report.perm=REPORT_VIEW # Some more things wiki.parent=top browser.parent=top # unassigned is a reserved keyword: # - if present, all other items not specified in config section will appear as sub-items under unassigned item. # - if not present, all other items will appear as top items. unassigned = enabled unassigned.href=/wiki unassigned.label=Tools ... # Make sure the Wiki is always the first item - and Admin always the last: wiki.order = -999999 admin.order = 999999 }}} == Screenshots == [[Image(menusplugin.png, width=500)]] == Recent Changes == [[ChangeLog(menusplugin, 3)]] == Author/Contributors == '''Author:''' [wiki:cbalan] [[BR]] '''Contributors:''' [wiki:izzy]
