We were able to leverage this KB :
And use this to make our dynamic menu!
skylinegtr - Yes, but that would require you to do some coding.
Get the community structure using an API call - e.g. /restapi/vc/categories/nested (depends whether you want to show category levels or the boards)
By looking at the screenshot you shared, you can do something like:
/restapi/vc/categories/id/developer/boards - this will list all the boards inside the developer cateogory (an example of lithium community).
Your first API call will give you all the categories, and 2nd will give you the boards/ tkbs etc. You can then style it accordingly. The permissions would work fine as long as you don't use restadmin to make the API calls. I hope this helps.
On top of what VarunGrazitti suggested, if your menu is used sitewide (I assume it's in the header) I would suggest to cache it for the user. If you are only pulling public categories and nodes, you could even cache it at application level. As the community structure is bound to change infrequently, you may gain quite some performance if you accept some "delay" due to the cache itself.
Here is a relevant TKB article showing how to create a menu in a macro, and then cache the macro itself.
VarunGrazitti & PaoloT Thanks. I'll give it a shot.
