Text on menu

Post by gooshy1 »

Is it possible to display the text on the menu that is picked up from attibutes on the http session?

I want to display the name of the logged in user of my system on the menu where the username is stored in a formbean.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you can pass the parameters into JavaScript then you should be able to add them to the menu.

This can be either at runtime or buildtime but you do need to get the values readable by JavaScript.

If you use a server side scripting engine such as ASP, PHP or Cold Fusion, you should be able to echo the settings directly to the menu_data file, providing the file has been renamed .php, .asp or .cfm for example

Hope this helps,
Andy
