| May 20, 2011 at 12:42 | comment | added | Tom Auger | Thanks for the clarification. Absolutely a custom taxonomy or custom field would be the proper way to go. Another option that I've come up with is based on the template. I don't like my solution as much because you shouldn't couple a template to built-in functionality like that, but there's a logical connection between the template (which ought to check whether the user has access to see the content) and the menu. I'm going to post my code in an answer, below, for other users with the same question. | |

But how do you create a menu item that is flagged as "protected", or, better yet, as belonging to a specific role or capability? Sounds like we're extending menu items and adding some more user-configurable parameters to the menu item form...? | |
