Hi Guys,

I am rendering custom menu items in the application started event. I am not entirely happy with the speed they load. There is a bit of a lag when right clicking on the nodes or clicking on the action buttons.

I just wondered if there was some way I can hard code these. Possibly in config files so they load faster.

private void ContentTreeController_MenuRendering(TreeControllerBase sender, MenuRenderingEventArgs e)
        {
            var treeAlias = sender.TreeAlias;
            var queryString = e.QueryStrings["id"];

            if (e.NodeId != "-1")
            {
                var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;

                int nodeId;
                if (int.TryParse(e.NodeId, out nodeId))
                {
                    var content = contentService.GetById(nodeId);

                    if (content != null)
                    {
                        var nodeTypeAlias = content.ContentType.Alias;

                        if (nodeTypeAlias == "emailAlertsFolder")
                        {
                            var sendJobAlerts = new MenuItem("sendJobAlerts", "Send Job Alerts");
                            sendJobAlerts.AdditionalData.Add("actionView", "/App_Plugins/BackendExtensions/views/SendJobAlerts.html");
                            sendJobAlerts.Icon = "right-double-arrow color-red";
                            e.Menu.Items.Insert(e.Menu.Items.Count, sendJobAlerts);

                            var sendHotCandidateAlerts = new MenuItem("sendHotCandidateAlerts", "Send Hot Candidate Alerts");
                            sendHotCandidateAlerts.AdditionalData.Add("actionView", "/App_Plugins/BackendExtensions/views/SendHotCandidateAlerts.html");
                            sendHotCandidateAlerts.Icon = "right-double-arrow color-red";
                            e.Menu.Items.Insert(e.Menu.Items.Count, sendHotCandidateAlerts);

                            var sendBlogAlerts = new MenuItem("sendBlogAlerts", "Send Blog Alerts");
                            sendBlogAlerts.AdditionalData.Add("actionView", "/App_Plugins/BackendExtensions/views/SendBlogAlerts.html");
                            sendBlogAlerts.Icon = "right-double-arrow color-red";
                            e.Menu.Items.Insert(e.Menu.Items.Count, sendBlogAlerts);
                        }

                        if (nodeTypeAlias == "jobsListFolder")
                        {
                            var archiveExpiredJobs = new MenuItem("archiveExpiredJobs", "Archive Expired Jobs");
                            archiveExpiredJobs.AdditionalData.Add("actionView", "/App_Plugins/BackendExtensions/views/ArchiveExpiredJobs.html");
                            archiveExpiredJobs.Icon = "re-post color-red";
                            e.Menu.Items.Insert(e.Menu.Items.Count, archiveExpiredJobs);
                        };
                    }
                }

            }

        }

If anyone could tell me how the replicate the following in config that would be awesome.

Kind Regards

David
