One Submenu for many plugins

[kherv]

Hi,

I Need some help.
I wish to create the same submenu for some plugins.

AS exemple:

Plugin A
Plugin B
Plugin C

For something like that:

[pre:f9u5ni7z]Plugins
-> Sub1
-> sub11
-> Plugin A
-> plugin B
-> Function Y
-> Function Z
-> sub12
-> plugin C[/pre:f9u5ni7z]

I tried something like that:

plugin A:
sub_1 = UI.menu( 'plugin' ).add_submenu( 'Sub1' )
sub_11 = sub_1.add_submenu( 'sub11')
sub_11.add_item("plugin A") {A}

plugin B:
sub_1 = UI.menu( 'plugin' ).add_submenu( 'Sub1' )
sub_11 = sub_1.add_submenu( 'sub11')
Sub_Plug = sub_11.add_submenu( 'plugin B')
Sub_Plug.add_item("Function Y") {Y}
Sub_Plug.add_item("Function Z") {Z}

plugin
sub_1 = UI.menu( 'plugin' ).add_submenu( 'Sub 1' )
sub_12 = sub_1.add_submenu( 'sub12')
sub_11.add_item("plugin C") {C}

And it gives:
[pre:f9u5ni7z]Plugins
-> Sub1
-> sub11
-> plugin A
-> Sub1
-> sub11
-> plugin B
-> Function Y
-> Function Z
-> Sub1
-> sub12
-> plugin C[/pre:f9u5ni7z]

How can I do to fix this ?

Thank you for the help and sorry for my bad english.
Have a good day.

Adding a 2nd level submenu:

"Plugins/Kherv/pluginC/plugin_c.rb"

module Kherv
 
  module PluginC
 
    require('Kherv/kherv_menu.rb')
    include(Kherv;;Menu)
 
    if SUBMENU['Sub 1/Sub 1.1']
      @sub = SUBMENU['Sub 1/Sub 1.1']
    else
      @sub = SUBMENU['Sub 1/Sub 1.1']= SUBMENU['Sub 1'].add_submenu('Sub 1.1')
    end
    @sub.add_item('Item C') { # code here }
 
  end # submodule for PluginC
 
end

Only create menu "Sub1" ONCE.

(1) Write all your plugins so they are wrapped within YOUR toplevel module.

"Plugins/Kherv/kherv_menu.rb"

module Kherv

  module Menu # this is a "mixin" module

    TOPMENU ||= UI.menu('Plugins').add_submenu('Kherv')
    
    SUBMENU ||= {} # Hash to hold submenu references
    # hash keys can be menu paths like; "Kherv/Tools/Text"

  end

end

"Plugins/Kherv/pluginA/plugin_a.rb"

module Kherv

  module PluginA

    require('Kherv/kherv_menu.rb')
    include(Kherv;;Menu)

    if SUBMENU['Sub 1']
      @sub = SUBMENU['Sub 1']
    else
      @sub = SUBMENU['Sub 1']= TOPMENU.add_submenu('Sub 1')
    end
    @sub.add_item('Item A') { # code here }

  end # submodule for PluginA

end

"Plugins/Kherv/pluginB/plugin_b.rb"

module Kherv

  module PluginB

    require('Kherv/kherv_menu.rb')
    include(Kherv;;Menu)

    if SUBMENU['Sub 1']
      @sub = SUBMENU['Sub 1']
    else
      @sub = SUBMENU['Sub 1']= TOPMENU.add_submenu('Sub 1')
    end
    @sub.add_item('Item B') { # code here }

  end # submodule for PluginB

end

Although this should work.. because of current API bugs. It will not.
