Thanks for the info but I think there is still missunderstanding:
Lets assume I create a new ofbiz application "reporting" as a backend
application for building reports (HTML, Birt ...). The reporting application
provides a menu item "Order Report Dashboard". It would be nice to have that
"dashboard" - the menu link defined in the reporting app shown in the order
menu item list - without adapting the order application.
Order
- Main
- Requests
- Quotes
- ...
- Order report dashboard
Reporting
- Main
- Order report dashboard
- Facility report dashboard
- Catalog report dashboard
- Accounting report dashboard
The idea: adding the reporting application as an add-on automatically adds the
menu items to the other applications as defined. I do not want to touch other
applications neither do I want to override the application from the reporting
application. If the reporting application is removed or the defined menu items
are removed the will automatically be removed from the other applications.
To make it as clear as possible: is there a mechanism that checks "menu item"
definitions from other applications before rendering.
Hope that makes it clearer :)
Thanks
Ingo
