This patch will build the menu-entry definitions automatically. It
won't update your menu_items.js file, but since it only needs changing
when new pages/subpages are added, I guess that can be done manually.

Hi, Henrik
Thanks for the quick response to answer my request.
This patch is a good short term solution. but it still requrire menual editing.

Can you modify your dump_page_tree subroutine to render the menu tree onto every html page ?
So there is no menual editing needed.

The consumers(uers,mangagers) will have easy time to browse (not search as you have it already)
and understand the servers/client machines their group and other groups have.

Using tigra javascript to get a group/server is good solution but the one below is the best(IMHO).

To use it, run bbgen with the "--menufile=/tmp/menu.inc" option (use
any filename you like), and bbgen will then dump the menu-items for the
tree structure of the webpages. Edit your menu_items.js file and include
the generated menu entries into the main file.


Regards,
Henrik
