Adding Multiple Menu Items to Top Menu
Added by marco deluca about 13 years ago
Hi there,
I've successfully installed redmine 1.2.1 on a VPS host but I need a hand creating a 2nd, 3rd, 4th custom menu item. This was my first installation of any rails app, and I'm not really that good with any of this technical stuff:) Once I got the right versions of all the required gems, things went fairly smoothly until I tried to create multiple menu items.
I was able to run script/generate redmine_plugin add_link
and followed the steps on this forum post: [[http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/12275?r=12762]] so I ended up with an init.rb file that had this in it:
menu :top_menu, :my_link, {:controller => 'activity', :action => ''}, 13 :caption => "Activity"
Basically created a link to the activity list. Trying to do the same thing for issues, etc. How would I create multiple menu links? I tried adding stuff to that init.rb, or creating a different plugin like add_link2, but everything I did broke redmine.
Suggestions?

Same happened to me...
Have a look at plugin http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_time_tracker
They embedded html menu for that.

You can easily add multiple links to the top_menu
using the plugin you've already created. Just modify the init.rb file (based on the quoted content by Holger Just) to include a second (third etc.) line like:
require 'redmine'
Redmine::Plugin.register :redmine_rt_link do
name 'Redmine Add Link'
author 'Holger Just'
url 'http://dev.holgerjust.de/projects/redmine-misc'
author_url 'http://meine-er.de'
version '0.1.0'
requires_redmine :version_or_higher => '0.8.0'
# caption can also be a i18n symbol or a proc
menu :top_menu, :global_activity, {:controller => 'activity', :action => ''},
:caption => "Global activity"
menu :top_menu, :global_issues, {:controller => 'issues', :action => ''},
:caption => "Global issues"
end
Hope this will help you out...

Embedding a html menu for such purposes as described by Marco isn't specifically required. It can be done using a code-snippet like the one I've posted above...
