Is there a reason that having multiple menus, and controlling their display via context, would not work here? On 3/21/11 5:55 PM, Rob Thorne wrote:
I'm looking into a two tiered menu in a D7 application where the second level of the menu is standard, but the top level is different for every user.
To make this concrete, suppose the user is a teacher at a school where the teacher uses multiple rooms, and needs to order materials for each room separately. Each teacher has a separate list of rooms, but the the pages we track -- class lists, crafts inventory, furniture... are the same for each room.
So for teacher A, we might have a set of menus like this:
* Room 220 o Class List o Crafts Inventory o Furniture * Room 221 o Class List o Crafts Inventory o Furniture
and so on. It's clear to me how to do a loader function and menu handler for a link like 'teacher/%teacher/room/%/class_list', but I don't see how to populate the level of the menus for '220' and '221' in the 3 position.
In Drupal 5, I used to use the !$may_cache argument for these sorts of things. I'm not arguing that this was efficient, but it did work. What hooks would I need to use in addition to hook_menu to make this work in Drupal 7?
