Using extensions with menus
If you want the extension to show up in the menu (e.g. if you had created an extension that added an icon to the page) use menu modifiers. Every node.id corresponds to their related page.id. Page.objects.get(pk=node.id) is the way to get the page object. Every page extension has a one-to-one relationship with the page so you can access it by using the reverse relation, e.g. extension = page.yourextensionlowercased. Now you can hook this extension by storing it on the node: node.extension = extension. In the menu template you can access your icon on the child object: child.extension.icon.
