Hi,
I am currently writing a new plugin that has its own page handler and custom display template. The template needs to have a custom navigation in the sidebar.
In order to add a new menu area, in a custom theme, I would normally expect to be able to use something like:
$this->addMenuArea(array(‘custom’));
However I only want the menu to be defined by the theme IF my custom plugin is also loaded.
How would I check within my theme plugin if my custom plugin is loaded? I’ve been looking for an example but have failed.
If it is possible to add a custom navigation area from within a generic plugin then that would be useful too - is there a way to do that, or should new menu areas always be defined in the theme and not the plugin?
Application Version - e.g., OJS 3.1.2:
OJS 3.3.0.10
Many thanks in advance.
