Adapt Learning Community: Menu JSON example

Do you have an example JSON block for creating a menu item rather than a page as the top level. All the examples I can find are for pages rather than menus.

Side Note: It would be really useful to have a reference manual for all the various JSON elements.

Thanks

Hi Dean,

Here's a partial response and rushed due to travel. I invite someone to clarify what I might muddy up.

To create a submenu, use "type": "menu" (its _id can follow the same pattern you've set for pages). The pages of the submenu (type: page) should reference the submenu's _id as their _parentId.

In lieu of a single json property reference, it is the intent that you would find all legitimate properties explained in the plug-in's examlle.json and readme.

Hope this keeps you moving forward.

Hi Chuck.

Thank you for this.

That helps. Can I ask you to expand on that? I'm so stuck and a further explanation would help massively.

I'm trying to follow your instructions here, and this is what I'm doing:

I use "_type": "menu" in the ContentsObjects.json
I use "_type": "article" in the Articles.json file , using parent ID of the "menu" in the ContentsObjects.json (NOTE: it doesn't allow me to use "_type: "pages" in the Articles.json)
I make sure blocks and components follow suit (using very basic ones, nothing much in them), and I follow suit with the parent IDs to connect everything.

This is leading me to pages not loading. Further help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dean

Hi again Chuck

Just to say, got it working! I read your message again, and put the menu AND the page in the same contentObjects.json file.

Thank you so much.

Regards
Dean
