Menu Hooks
The menu hooks allow you to dynamically specify menu items from your plugin app or service. To achieve this you should subclass or instantiate the services.hooks.MenuItemHook class and then register the menu item with one of the hooks.
To register a MenuItemHook class you would do the following:
@hooks.register('menu_item_hook')
def register_menu():
return MenuItemHook('Example Item', 'glyphicon glyphicon-heart', 'example_url_name', 150)
The MenuItemHook class specifies some parameters/instance variables required for menu item display.
MenuItemHook(text, classes, url_name, order=None)
text
The text value of the link
classes
The classes that should be applied to the bootstrap menu item icon
url_name
The name of the Django URL to use
order
An integer which specifies the order of the menu item, lowest to highest
navactive
A list of views or namespaces the link should be highlighted on. See django-navhelper for usage. Defaults to the supplied url_name.
If you cannot get the menu item to look the way you wish, you are free to subclass and override the default render function and the template used.
