In a different thread, the topic of placement of LBF in the menu tree was brought up. ZH also has hooks into the left_nav menu for their “module installer.” Both LBF and the Module Installer are currently limited in that new entries can only go under the menu category that is current hard coded in left_nav.
Mi-squared is sponsoring me to do work for LBF to allow arbitrary placement in the menu, and I think it is important that both LBF and the ZH Modules use the same basic mechanism for updating the menu contents. I am starting to think about how best to accomplish this.
Anyway, nothing real to report just yet. I haven’t had a chance to take a look at Tony’s “kludge” yet and that may give me some additional guidance.
I’m not talking about a fully data driven menu just yet, although this could be a first step towards such a mythical beast.
