No i have processors, i have all the data i need in the template, i just
don't know an elegant way to condition out menu items.
This is how my model works
ACCESS_CHOICES = (
(1, "Public"),
(10, "Private"),
(100, "Staff"),
(1000, "System")
)
class Menu(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=16)
class MenuItem(models.Model):
menu = models.ForeignKey(Menu)
access = models.IntegerField(choices=ACCESS_CHOICES)
class MenuSubItem(models.Model):
item = models.ForeignKey(MenuItem)
access = models.ForeignKey(MenuSubItem)
