Hey there lowpass, Thanks for this full-fledged explanation, it helped me understand how CakePHP works, and i finally am able to use it for (at this time) basic things, on my own :) About the character thing: After all I managed to make my menu with the helper that Tim mentioned above, but I have a few problems with it, maybe you could help me out? So.. First thing. I rewrote the helper, 'cause, by defaullt, it renders menus in unordered lists, but i like to do it in divs, like in the plain HTML code i put in the first post. So now it renders this: <div class='nav-menu'> <div class='menuitems><a href='link'>stuff</a></div> <div class='menuitems><a href='link'>stuff</a></div> <div class='menuitems><a href='link'>stuff</a></div> </div>
My 'calling' of this rendering is made up like this: $menu = array( 'options' => array('class' => 'menuitems'), 'items' => array( array('title' => 'Hirek', 'url' => array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'index')), array('title' => 'Tutorialok', 'url' => array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'tutorials')), array('title' => 'Munkaim', 'url' => array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'jobs')), array('title' => 'Kapcsolat', 'url' => array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'contact')) )); It works very well, but I have the following problem: If i write "Munkáim" instead of "Munkaim" (its the á, a hungarian character) it simply doesn't renders it. It created the div, but it's empty, like this: <div class='nav-menu'> <div class='menuitems'><a href='website/posts'>Hirek</a></div> <div class='menuitems'><a href='website/posts/tutorials'>Tutorialok</a></div> <div class='menuitems'></div> <div class='menuitems'><a href='website/posts/contact'>Kapcsolat</a></div> </div> As you can see, the third item is empty, because i used a non-english character. Any way to solve this? Also, i'd like to add class names to these menu items (each individual item), because of the 960 Grid system i'm using. Tim, maybe you know how to do it?
