Installation

Getting a module

Grab it from source repository:

pip install -r git+git://github.com/cypreess/django-menus.git#egg=django-menus

MENUS_CONF setting

You should create MENUS_CONF setting in your settings.py. Point it as a python import path to a module that stores your project menus, eg.:

MENUS_CONF = "myproject.menu"

Enabling request template context processor

Menuing system needs to know which page is currently viewed. It reads url from request attribute of current context, therefore you need to add proper context processor.

Django brings a TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting variable to define any set of context processors. To avoid hard-coding the default set of TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS use following code:

from django.conf import global_settings

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + (
    'django.core.context_processors.request',

    )
