collective.volto.dropdownmenu 1.3.1

Features

• Control panel for plone registry to manage menu configuration.

• Restapi view that exposes these settings for Volto

Volto endpoint

Anonymous users can’t access registry resources by default with plone.restapi (there is a special permission).

To avoid enabling registry access to everyone, this package exposes a dedicated restapi route with the infos to draw the menu: @dropdown-menu:

> curl -i http://localhost:8080/Plone/@dropdown-menu -H 'Accept: application/json'

Control panel

You can edit settings directly from Volto because the control has been registered on Plone and available with plone.restapi.

Volto integration

To use this product in Volto, your Volto project needs to include a new plugin: https://github.com/collective/volto-dropdownmenu

Menu cache

Restapi endpoint can took some time to reply if there are several items in the menu.

As first workaround, there is an environment variable to enable a ramcache for it (disabled by default):

environment-vars =
    DROPDOWNMENU_EXPERIMENTAL_CACHE 1

USE THIS WITH CARE, BECAUSE STORED DATA COULD BE BIGGER THAN CACHE
