Custom action

Menu: Custom action


When a menu item is selected, the action specified in the Custom action attribute will be performed.

The action is a SHOWDOCUMENT() action.

The selected menu item can be accessed via {}.

If no Custom action is specified, the Custom section menu Custom Delegate will be run if set.

Notes on Client Support

Custom Delegate: Custom section menu

If no Custom action is specified, the Custom section menu Custom Delegate will be run when a menu item is selected.

Section Menu: Custom delegate inline


This can be a single line inline delegate.

The selected menu item can be accessed via {}.

Section Menu: Custom delegate script


Or it can be the name of the script function to be called. The selected menu item text is passed to the function as a parameter ('selitem' in the examples below).

Click the [...] button to create and edit the script function. The Section Scripting Language attribute determines the language used.
