Menu Service

[smcardle]

Hi
The menu service seems to be fundamentally floored to me in the following ways :

1. The default roles should be set to default to ALL roles defined in my User model. The reason for this is that adding a new role to the User model ALSO requires a change to the defaultRoles in the Menu service.
2. The default role(s) for a MenuItem should default to the roles defined on the parent Menu i.e. 'topbar'.
3. The default roles for a MenuSubItem should default to the roles defined on the parent MenuItem

Basically the 'topbar' menu should be automatically enabled for ALL roles. Adding a MenuItem to this, such as Articles, could then be defined to restrict this menu to JUST say an ['admin'] role if specified. Any SubMenuItem(s) would then default to be only the ['admin'] role as well. However, if I set my MenuItem to be ['admin', 'otherRole'] I could still restrict a particular SubMenuItem to be just available to the ['admin'] role but if not defined then it will be available to both ['admin', 'otherRole'].

The current way it works first required that I modify the 'topbar' menu item in the Menu service every time I add a new role to my User model otherwise that new role cannot add see MenuItem(s) even if I pass in ['newRole'] because by default ['newRole'] cannot see 'topbar'.

Also, the documentation for MenuItem is incomplete on the site as it does not mention the 'MenuType' parameter i.e. dropdown or item.

@amoshaviv updated the menus service recently, has that fixed any of this?
