Adding Dynamic Links to User's Top Navigation Bar

[Christian Selbrede]

Following the "Adding you own menu items to JIRA" tutorial, I am trying to figure out how to add dynamic links to my navigation bar.

For example, I have a class that implements the interface:

public interface MyLinkManager{

  Collection<MyLink> getLinks();
}

A MyLink object just has getters and setters for a String name and String url.

Is there a way to do something like this:

for (MyLink link : myLinkManager.getLinks()){

  addToNavbar(link, "dynamic-section");

}

Where addToNavbar is a method that takes a link and a navbar section, and adds the link dynamically to that section?

I have this covered in my book but you can also find the same code in J-favourites plugin.

See the source. It is done using simple-link-factory
