How can I add action menu items for specific types?

Following the example, adding menu items will make them appear for all types.
How to I add them show they will only show up for certain types/subtypes?
Or just for certain paths?

Conversely is there a way to hide menu items for certain contexts?
For example, do not show the "start discussion" action on certain nodes.

thx

You can specify an evaluator to check various conditions

I have an action that I only want to show for nodes of type 'project'

In web-client-custom-config.xml:

   <config>
      <actions>
         <action id="process_project">
            <evaluator>com.mediamine.rcd.core.upload.ProcessProjectEvaluator</evaluator>
            <label>Process Project</label>
            <image>/images/icons/workflow.gif</image>
            <action-listener>#{UploadBean.processProject}</action-listener>         
         </action>

         <action-group id="space_browse_menu">
            <action idref="process_project" />            
         </action-group>         
      </actions>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And the evaluator itself

package com.mediamine.rcd.core.upload;

import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeService;
import org.alfresco.web.action.ActionEvaluator;
import org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.FacesHelper;
import org.alfresco.web.bean.repository.Node;

import com.mediamine.rcd.core.domain.RCDModel;

public class ProcessProjectEvaluator implements ActionEvaluator
{

  public boolean evaluate(Node node)
  {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

    NodeService nodeService = (NodeService)FacesHelper.getManagedBean(fc, "NodeService");
    return nodeService.hasAspect(node.getNodeRef(), RCDModel.ASPECT_UPLOADED_PROJECT);
  }
}

Hope this helps.
I don't know the exact syntax for hiding menu items but I'm pretty sure you can do that.
