[support] Dynamically display menu items?

[Joel Willers]

I'm suggesting that the menu is created by the view that I'm discussing.  You make it a 'block' view, and have the result be the menu.  The empty text is the alternate menu.

So if the menu was <ul><li>Item 1</li><li>Item 2</li><li class="project">Item 3</li></ul>, then have the only field be a Global custom text as the above.  Then the empty text should be <ul><li>Item 1</li><li>Item 2</li></ul>

Then go to Blocks and find the view, and use this as the menu.

Joel, thanks for all the help. My view already works fine. I get an empty result if there was no project flagged bu the user, but the corresponding menu item is still displayed. I think i'm missing something. I don't see what you mean by:

"If there is no project for that user, then the View doesn't fire, so you create the menu in Empty Text area.  So one menu could be in Global:custom text, and the other in Empty Text."

Thanks again!
