quintagroup.dropdownmenu 1.2.6

Building you dropdown menu with portal_actions

Starting from Plone 3 portal actions introduced CMF Action Category containers, it opened opportunity to build nested actions trees. Though CMF Action Category does not behave as a regular action, it has different set of properties. We introduced convention in quintagroup.dropdownmenu that requires to have a specially named Action for each Actions Category. The id of each such action must be build using the rule:

action_id = prefix + category_id + suffix

where:

category_id:

is id of correspondent CMF Action Category

prefix:

defined in DropDownMenu configlet, default value ‘’

suffix:

defined in DropDownMenu configlet, default value ‘_sub’

So, the actions structure can look like:

+ portal_tabs
|- home
|- blog_sub
|-+ blog
| |-- 2009
| |-- 2010

By default the root of dropdown menu is ‘portal_tabs’ category.
