Volto Dropdown Menu

May 12, 2023 · View on GitHub

Add-on for manage a Dropdown menu in Volto.

Features

Anonymous users can't access registry resources by default with plone.restapi (there is a special permission).

To avoid enabling registry access to everyone, this package exposes a dedicated restapi route with the infos to draw the menu: @dropdown-menu::

> curl -i http://localhost:8080/Plone/@dropdown-menu -H 'Accept: application/json'

You can edit settings directly from Volto because the control has been registered on Plone and available with plone.restapi.

To use this product in Volto, your Volto project needs to include a new plugin: https://github.com/collective/volto-dropdownmenu

Restapi endpoint can took some time to reply if there are several items in the menu.

As first workaround, there is an environment variable to enable a ramcache for it (disabled by default)::

environment-vars =
    DROPDOWNMENU_EXPERIMENTAL_CACHE 1

USE THIS WITH CARE, BECAUSE STORED DATA COULD BE BIGGER THAN CACHE
