Re: Dynamic Sidebar
so are you using beforeRender to pull your data as needed, to populate the
sidebar "elements"? i'd be interested in seeing how someone turns cakephp
into a proper cms, with dynamic side columns, dynamic templates, template
editing (looked like davidicus cms had that one solved), easy-to-add
modules/components, etc

Re: Dynamic Sidebar
Sorry if I'm not being clear...
Say for instance I have a layout like this :
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
...where $sidebar needs to have dynamic content.
It should also be global...visible on all pages of a specific layout.
How will I go about this?
I'm not sure if elements are only for static content.

Re: Dynamic Sidebar
I have discovered the "views/elements" folder. This already helps
alot.
I created a file named "sidebar.thtml" in the "elements" folder.
Now...I need to somehow parse data to the "sidebar" view.

Dynamic Sidebar
Good day,
I started reading through the CakePHP manual and stuff today.
I'm new to MVC and this is the first time I work with it. Please bare
with me.
In my default layout ("layouts/default.thtml") I want to have a
dynamic sidebar which comes consists of data coming from the database.
For example...it could be an array, each key being an array with an ID
and a Title.
How will I go about creating a dynamic sidebar?
Do I create a controller for it, or how?
Thank you for your help.

Re: Dynamic Sidebar based on Controller/Content
Hi Bobby,
Just (another) thought, you may find that something like this is more
appropriate.
Here's a variation on the theme, no component, but with a menu element:
// Defined in app_controller
var $menuContext = Array();
// Defined in app_controller
function beforeFilter ()
{
$this->_defineMenuContext();
$this->controller->set('ContextMenu',$this->menuContext);
}
// Defined or derived in each controller
function _defineMenuContext()
{ // add logic to change based on current function
$this->menuContext[] = Array ("Something","/Blah/Blah");
}
In the relavent element, loop through the $ContextMenu variable
creating the context relavent links for your controller.
Cheers,
AD7six

Dynamic Sidebar based on Controller/Content
I've been fiddling with CakePHP for a month or so now and I must say I like it. I like enough to develop the next generation of the Livin' Dead Productions site with it. The current version (located at http://ldp.blackhawkdata.com for the moment. Domain problems are not fun) is pretty simple. I took my cousin's idea, cleaned it up and wrote some PHP. I think a CakePHP site would be much better.I've got most of the basic stuff layed out and some coded. I have a fluid layout (it expands with the browser window) with a header, global nav, sidebar, content and a footer. I'd like to have dynamic content in the sidebar, but not just any dynamic content. I want to have content based on the content of the page. For example, I'm working on a gallery function under the art controller. It will output a nice little image gallery based on a CSS Play gallery ( http://cssplay.co.uk/menu/gallery_click.html) containing the art the user has specified (in other words, dynamic galleries). In the gallery, the sidebar would have links to refine the gallery with a search page and perhaps a link to the most popular or pre-set galleries. I was wondering the best way to accomplish this. I'm figuring a bit of coding in the sidebar component of the layout. $this->requestAction() could call a sidebars controller for that particular page or a sidebar function for the current controller. Any help or suggestions would be great. I'm sure I could scrape something together, but a little collaboration would be better and hopefully help some other people too.-- If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
