Hi Roy, I assume you ran the quickstart and use the macro.vm it produced? Do you have any roles defined in your menu.xml?
The macro.vm uses code like this: #if ($topMenu.isUserInRoles() || $topMenu.isUserInChildMenuRoles()) This code basically asks the menu if the currently logged in user is allowed to view the menu. However if the menu doesn't have any roles, this method returns false. You can customize the macro and add this check:] #if ($topMenu.isUserInRoles() || $topMenu.isUserInChildMenuRoles()) || !$topMenu.hasRoles()) This change basically says: if no menu role is defined, show the menu as well. In Click 2.2.0 you can render menus without a macro too. Just do: $rootMenu Wrt to activity, there is daily commits to trunk. You can get a better feel looking at the nightly builds: https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/view/Click/job/Click/ https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/view/Click/job/Click/javadoc/docs/roadmap-changes.html You can also use the FishEye tool to view svn activity amongst other things: https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/changelog/click/?max=30&view=all&@asv=all I'll update the website over the weekend and change the June date to October. Over the years we've tried to indicate the next release date, but I've found it's quite difficult to meet those dates since open source is generally developed when people have an itch to scratch or feel inspired. Perhaps we shouldn't give any indication of the next release lest we give the wrong impression of an inactive project :) Kind regards Bob On 15/10/2010 16:29, Roy Bailey wrote: > Yes, the standard sample velocity macro is getting called, so the rootMenu > object has been added > and from java code I can see entire menu. > > thanks...Roy > > > On 14/10/2010 23:30, Malcolm Edgar wrote: >> Hi Roy, >> >> I think the main drivers very much have their heads down doing work.
