Way to get selected Menu (not MenuItem) from context

[danilo-botelho]

Hi, there!

The generate_menu templatetag adds menus and selected_menu to the template context:

simple_menu/templatetags/simple_menu.py

# set the items in our context
context['menus'] = menus
context['selected_menu'] = selected_menu
context['submenu'] = submenu
context['has_submenu'] = has_submenu

Although menus contain a dictionary with MenuItems grouped by their "menu name" (class Menu) submenu will point to the selected MenuItem (despite its name suggests class Menu).

How can I display only the selected menu when there seems to be no pointer to it?

Probably if we could change the template tag simply to add a reference to menus[name] of the selected_menuitem. (And maybe use selected_menu for that and selected_menuitem for what is currently pointed by selected_menu).
