	<title>Context Menus TBR</title>
    <para>Context menus are called when you right-click on a UI element. RichFaces library provides a special component <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:contextMenu &gt;</property></emphasis> to implement this type of functionality. </para>	
    
	
	<para>Context menu is made for the following UI controls:</para>
 
	<itemizedlist>
        <listitem><para>Album</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>Image</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>Self</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>User</para></listitem>
     </itemizedlist> 
        <para>   
            Let's have a look at the context menu for single image is constructed.
        </para>
        
        <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
	<rich:contextMenu disableDefaultMenu="false" style="text-align:left;" rendered="#{controller.isUserImage(image)}"

	</rich:contextMenu>
	...]]></programlisting> 
	<para>
        	That is a listing from <code>\includes\contextMenu\CMForImage.xhtml</code>. 
		This code is included into the very bottom of  imageList.xhtml file like this:  
        </para>
        
        <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...

			<ui:param name="mediaOutput" value="#{rich:clientId('img')}"/>
		</ui:include>
		...]]></programlisting> 
        
        <para>The context menu code is included with 2 parameters: <code>&quot;image&quot;</code> and <code>&quot;mediaOutput&quot;</code>. The first ( <code>&quot;image&quot;</code>) is the name of the current image. The <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;a4j:repeat&gt;</property></emphasis> iterates over a collection of images(see the next listing), the name of the current image is stored in the <code>&quot;image&quot;</code> variable. <code>&quot;mediaOutput&quot;</code> parameter is set with the help of <code>rich:clientId('id')</code> that returns client id by short id or null if the component with the id specified hasn't been found.   </para>

        <para>This is the block of code that displays each image: </para>

        <para>The key attribute of <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;contextMenu&gt;</property></emphasis> is <emphasis><property>&quot;attachTo&quot;</property></emphasis> that specifies for which control the context menu is displayed. As you can see this attribute has <code>#{mediaOutput}</code> as its value(<code> attachTo="#{mediaOutput}"</code> so this way the id of the current image is passed to <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:contexMenu&gt;</property></emphasis> and this is how it know what photo is affected by user actions. </para>
