Title: Re: dynamic nav bar
Lee,
    I would disagree.  I still use what you guys taught me earlier.  I generate an array of a structure, with keys like url and imageName or linkText.  Then loop over that to create a navigation area.  With the added overhead of CFMODULE, vs. the speed with which CF handles arrays and structures I cannot see why you would want to make recursive calls like that.
 
    The added benefit here is that it is very easy to have this generate different menus down to the fuseaction level.  If you are setting up a fuseaction for it, you are probably only going to be able to do it easily down to the circuit.  Unless you are going to create a nav fuseaction for each content/display fuseaction you have in that circuit, and then you are doubling the number of cases you have and such.
 
    I think this way has the most flexibility so far.

Subject: RE: dynamic nav bar

Hi Tira,
 
I would create a separate "navbar" fuseaction (possibly in its own circuit).  The "navbar" fuseaction would query the database and display a menu based on that data.
 
Then, in the site's main layout, I would use <cfmodule> to invoke the navbar.
 
If you want the navbar to be context-sensitive, then you'll probably want to pass in an additional attribute in your cfmodule call, possibly context="fusebox.targetcircuit" or similar.
 
As ever, with these recursive <cfmodule> calls, watch out for infinite loops in your layouts.
 
Hopw that helps,
LeeBB

What do you mean dynamic?
Based on security permissions or what?

Could anyone offer any suggestions on incorporating a dynamic navigation bar into a fusebox site? I am very new to fusebox so any suggestions, tips etc will be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance
