Add Sub Menu Item to the Admin section #1952 | Support

Jesse.Thomas@condoauthorityontario.ca created 3 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to add a menu item to the ApplicationMenuItem . In the MenuContributor.cs class, the following code returns the list of menu items: var administration = context.Menu.GetAdministration();

Is it possible to extend the ApplicationMenuItem, and add a new Menu item under Admin tab, from the module I created? Or do I have to download the volo module for Admin Menu items and add it there?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jesse

Hi, Do you ask creating your own section like below?

var administration = context.Menu.GetAdministration();

var mySection = new ApplicationMenuItem("MySection", "My Section", "#", "fa fa-file");

administration.AddItem(mySection);

mySection.AddItem(new ApplicationMenuItem("MySubMenu", "My Sub Menu 1", "#"));
mySection.AddItem(new ApplicationMenuItem("MySubMenu2", "My Sub Menu 2", "#"));
mySection.AddItem(new ApplicationMenuItem("MySubMenu3", "My Sub Menu 3", "#"));

var mySubMenu4 = new ApplicationMenuItem("MySubMenu4", "My Sub Menu 4", "#");

mySubMenu4.AddItem(new ApplicationMenuItem("MySubMenu4A", "My Sub Menu 4.A", "#"));
mySubMenu4.AddItem(new ApplicationMenuItem("MySubMenu4B", "My Sub Menu 4.B", "#"));

mySection.AddItem(mySubMenu4);

Or you can add your custom menu under existing module menu:

var administration = context.Menu.GetAdministration();

var languagesMenu = administration.FindMenuItem(LanguageManagementMenuNames.GroupName);

languagesMenu.AddItem(new ApplicationMenuItem("MySubLanguageMenu", "My Sub Language Menu", "#"));

Hi Enisn,

Further to this question, how can I make the menu items I added invisible when the user is NOT logged in?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

You can use .RequireAuthenticated() extension method for MenuItem:

var administration = context.Menu.GetAdministration();

var languagesMenu = administration.FindMenuItem(LanguageManagementMenuNames.GroupName);

var menuItem = new ApplicationMenuItem(
                    "MySubLanguageMenu", 
                    "My Sub Language Menu", 
                    "#")
               .RequireAuthenticated(); // <-- You add this method.

languagesMenu.AddItem(menuItem);
