Not sure about the requirement. Do you need a kind of "menu catalog" module?

It seems strange you know the id of a menu item, usually you need first to request a list of items...

Anyway, it is always possible to build a custom module, using the documentation here:

www.selfget.com/documentation/jbackend-joomla30/developers-guide.html

Or requesting a custom module here:

www.selfget.com/services/technical-support/jbackend-custom-modules.html

Kind regards,
Luigi

Wow quick response :) thanks,

Suppose I have a menu with 20 menu items:
Cat A
- sub-cat AA
-- article AA1
-- article AA2
- sub-cat AB
-- article AB1
-- article AB2
Cat B
-sub-cat BA
etc...

I have created a menu with the menu module provided by joomla and now that I just started playing with jbackend I was thinking to fetch the menu and menu-items and create a directive for it in java script.

I have tried with variations on this:
http:/localhost:8080/jbackendmenupoint/get/mod_menu?var1=id&var2=1

My aim is to get my menu as a full json object so that I can play with it properly in js :)

but so far no luck :(... i get req_mns error, so either i specify my module incorrectly or i have wrong request parameters. I will plunge into the documentation a bit more.

There is a little problem here. jBackend supports a request only if there is a jBackend module (enabled on the end point) for the request itself. So if you try to guess what you can do with it, you probably are wasting your time... :)

For a list of available modules and functions take a look here:

www.selfget.com/documentation/jbackend-joomla30.html

If you need help with a little custom module specific for yoir project, you can ask for support here:

Kind regards.
