Create a user specific navigation

Incompatible API changes

From version 1.9 to 2.0 of the Navigation Menu Editor plugin we made some incompatible changes on the REST API. Therefore we introduced a new 2.0 endpoint to the REST API. Please have a look at the following documentation.

JavaScript API

In some cases it may be desirable to render the menu structure yourself. We have built a JavaScript component that gets the menu structure for the current user in JSON format.

/**
 * Get the JSON representation for the menu of the current user.
 * @param callback Function to process JSON, e.g. processJSON(Object menuJson){ ... }
 */
SeibertMedia.MenuEditor.MenuBuilder.buildJsonMenu(function callback)
