Re: Do you hardcode your menu links?
Thanx a lot!
This is how I used it successfully with cakePHP 1.2:
1. Downloaded http://cakeforge.org/snippet/download.php?type=snippet&id=361
into /app/views/helpers/menu.php
2. Added
var $helpers = array('Menu');
to class AppController
in /app/app_controller.php
3. Added
'/home', 'User' => '/users', 'Profiles' =>
'/profiles');
echo $menu->menu($navi, 'li', 'current');
?>
in the file /app/views/layouts/default.ctp
where I want the navigation to show up.
This will produce a navigation/menu which shows up on every(!) page.

Re: Do you hardcode your menu links?
@Arne Try and it and test the speed. I ended up caching my rendered menu in an element based on the page. @powetac I do intend to release my helper, except the code that selects the current page is not 100% accurate (and is a bit slow, because it analyses route data as well). But I can still send to you if you like. Cheers, Adam On Dec 6, 7:38 am, "Jon Bennett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Could anybody publish his menuHelper?

Re: Do you hardcode your menu links?
Hi, many thanks for your answers so far. I think I'll implement a mix of elements and a generic model for this, to configure the links from within the backend. I think that's a nicer way than putting it into a config file or something. I had this in mind earlier, but have been in doubt if it would cause too much overhead as of the needed database queries. But in the end I'm thinking that my app doesn't do that much queries at all, having several CMS' in mind that are querying about 10+ tables just for browsing their portal page. What do you think? Is it worth the overhead? Shouldn't be that much of a problem, eh? Greets, Arne --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Do you hardcode your menu links?
Similar to Dragonl, I store my menu links in an array (almost exactly the same structure incidentally) and have developed a helper to write out css menus, which also highlights the current page. At the moment I've kept the array hardcoded in my element because it doesn't change often, but it could easily be generated from a controller dynamically.

Re: Do you hardcode your menu links?
I store menu and submenu links in a config file as an array which is loaded and cached in beforeRender in app_controller. I have my own menu helper which displays the menu in an element $config['mainMenu'] = array( 1 => array( 'title' => 'Home', 'url' => '/', 'desc' => 'Home', ), 2 => array( 'title' => 'Search', 'url' => '/search/', 'desc' => 'Search', ), etc On Dec 4, 4:52 pm, kristofer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I usually pull in an element to handle dynamic navigation. > > On Dec 4, 4:46 pm, Arne-Kolja Bachstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi there, > > > I've got a quite generic question... do you usually hardcode your menu > > links [in your views] when developing something with cake, or do you > > implement something like link management models or something?

Re: Do you hardcode your menu links?
I usually pull in an element to handle dynamic navigation.

Do you hardcode your menu links?
Hi there, I've got a quite generic question... do you usually hardcode your menu links [in your views] when developing something with cake, or do you implement something like link management models or something? What's the usual way here in your opinion? Greetings Arne --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
