Hi,<br><br>this is a limitation in megrok.menu, but I'm not sure if it's a megrok.menu limitation or a grokking limitation. <br><br>The thing is that, as far I understand, the grokking order can be set within the same module, that's why if you put, menus and views in the same file, things are right grokked. You may want to take a look to this thread [1]<br>
<br>What you could try to do is this:<br><br>instead of just a file called menus.py, create a folder, let's say: <br><br>grokapp/<br> src/<br> grokapp/<br> configure.zcml<br> app.py<br> menus/<br>
- __init__.py<br> - menus.py<br> - configure.zcml<br><br>Put your menus definitions in menus.py and in `configure.zcml` put<br><br><configure xmlns="<a href="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope">http://namespaces.zope.org/zope</a>"<br>
xmlns:grok="<a href="http://namespaces.zope.org/grok">http://namespaces.zope.org/grok</a>"><br> <grok:grok package="." /><br><br></configure><br><br>Now, in the main configure.zcml in your grok application you should do:<br>
<br><configure xmlns="<a href="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope">http://namespaces.zope.org/zope</a>"<br> xmlns:grok="<a href="http://namespaces.zope.org/grok">http://namespaces.zope.org/grok</a>"><br>
<include package="grok" /><br><br> <includeDependencies package="." /><br><br> <!-- Here we force that menus module it's grokked first that nothing --/><br> <include package=".menus" /><br>
<br> <grok:grok package="." /><br><br></configure><br><br>By doing this, you should be able to define your views in the app.py file and register menuitems in the menus defined inside `menus` module.<br>
<br>Hope it helps<br><br>Best Regards<br><br>[1] <a href="http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/grok-dev/2008-December/006824.html">http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/grok-dev/2008-December/006824.html</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
