Sorry, this has been sitting in my inbox for awhile now. Can you please
enter this as an enhancement request (or two) in Struts Menu?

Thanks,

I would like to make this this for "velocity-nicetabs".
Has someone any hints or idea how/where to make the changes?
Since you're using Velocity for your menu, you should be able to
alter the template that you use for this menu. You could add a
"name" attribute to the item and then use that in the "id" attribute
of your link.
Sorry, but "globalMacros.vm" looks in now way similar(for me) to
what's generated :( , so I have no idea where and how "name" would fit
in there.
The only place where it looks similar to the generated HTML is
"DisplayerStrings.properties".
Velocity was just an example. However It would be good to know a
general solution. I looked in "AbstractMenuDisplayer.java", but I have
no idea how the ID would come there.
It's embarrasing for me, but it seems I can't see the "big picture" of
how StrutsMenu works :(.
There are a few usages of this extension to StrutsMenu:
- in a lot of cases an ID or other attributes are required by the
project requirements.
- Improved "menu activation": If the framework problem is solved, it's
a pice of cake to extend the javascripts to use the "body ID" or a
"DIV ID" in case an URL doesn't return the desired activation.
This way, a Body/Div Id can alwyas be set in the page(as a last
backup), to ensure that the right menu will be activated if the URL
doesn't match. I found a lot of situations where the URL doesn't match
and cookies don't play well with submenus, so this would be a useful
improvement for the StrutsMenu framework IMHO.
P.S. Is there a DTD for the menu config.xml (to allow xml editors to
check for the right syntax, and autocomplete for smarter editors :)
) ?
No, not right now. A few folks have submitted some, but they were
just generated from their editors. I do need to create one and hope
to as part of the next release.
Great :). I can't wait to use it in my IDE :).
Runtime errors are not very pleasent, so if IDEs can detect errors
while one is editing, it's a great productivity/test improvement.
Ahmed.
