Menu

Menu is separated into 2 parts - main menu and submenu.

Main menu is created via django-sitetree library and is managed in Django admin.

Submenu contains following parts (order preserved):

1. pages on the same level as parent of the current page

2. child pages

3. dynamic items

Dynamic submenu is managed programmatically. If a view needs its custom submenu you can create one quite simply through the predefined view mixin richy.core.views.SubmenuViewMixin. This mixin adds method get_submenu() that you need to implement by yourself. The method must return a list of menu items where each item is a dict with following properties:

• url - menu item URL

• title - menu item title

Whether each item is the currently active page (used for highlighting in the rendered menu) is determined template-side by matching the item’s url against the current request – no view-side work is needed.
