background

in Theme configuratcion --> Configuration category: Naviagtion mneu --> Extra entries: you can defined your own menus.

the issues

• Extra entries will not accepts beautify JSON, it has to be flattened as shown in the images above
• The tool tip shows a flattened JSON which is hard to read

Proposed solution

• allow the use of beautiful JSON
• Update the tooltip to show a beautiful JSON

A beautiful JSON is much easier to read and manipulate

A beautiful JSON

{
  "extra": [
    {
      "title": "Google Mail",
      "link": "https://gmail.com/",
      "icon": "google",
      "level": "0,1,2,3,4"
    },
    {
      "title": "BIND DNS Server",
      "link": "/bind8",
      "icon": "server"
    },
    {
      "title": "Usermin",
      "link": "/",
      "icon": "envelope",
      "port": "20000",
      "target": "_blank"
    }
  ]
}

additional

the example in the tool tip is perfect, it has the right balance of the different options you can configure

Thanks for the heads up!

That is fixed now! I have also added validation for the passed data, so it won't break the theme config completely.
