Re: Dynamic menu content in layout
What you are really wanting is the ViewModel. CakePHP does not implement that explicitly but you can get the same functionality by creating a helper and accessing your model in the helper keeping the view clean.

Re: Dynamic menu content in layout
No, you don't want to anything in the view that involves querying the database. The controller action for that given page should know what menu to fetch from database and set that to the view. /thomas On 26 Feb 2014, at 20:39, Sam Clauw wrote: > Okay, let's suppose I want to put my menu in an element called > "top_menu.ctp".

Re: Dynamic menu content in layout
hi,
You can put the tree menu directly in the layout or in a separate menu
elements and include them in a specific place on your layout.
If you want to highlight active link in your menu, you can do the
following:
// menu
..link to
contacts views
..link to
contacts views
...
// in Posts/index.ctp
// in Posts/view.ctp
..
$this->set('active','posts');
If you want to dynamically add or modify the sidebar, use and expand the
view blocks

Dynamic menu content in layout
What I'm trying to do is to put two dynamic navigation menus in my CakePHP layout (default.ctp). The main menu should have multiple levels (with a dropdown functionality). The secondary menu is the one that shows the dropdown content of the main menu in a left sidebar. I've read the CakePHP documentation but I'm confused how to fit those menus in the layout. I know that you have 4 different parts in a view layer (as documented in http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views.html): - views - elements - layouts - helpers But with the knowledge I have right now, I think none of this parts can be used to fill my needs. A navigation menu is a part that you only load ONES in a layout, so it isn't an element or a helper. So what's the best practice... - ... where to create the menu tree? - ... where / how to echo it in the layout file? Can anybody clearify my issue?

Re: Best practice output a Dynamic menu
you can define a protected variable $showMenu = true in AppController, and for those controllers who don't need menu, set this vairable to false and in beforeRender method check this variable to output or not.

Re: Best practice output a Dynamic menu
such components may get their data automatically that's what some are for, after all :) even a helper may use data passed down form the controller/component automatically. at least in 2.0 - with $_View being officially available now.

Re: Best practice output a Dynamic menu
;) That was what I thought about helpers yes.. Helper => will be used to generate the menu You would suggest to pull the menu + links fra database in app_controller beforerender, might work fine not using component for this. As I do not need to get the menues on every page, how would you suggest to only use the menu database retrival when needed? using if this params controller= controller ? or something like that? or do you know of a better way ?

Re: Best practice output a Dynamic menu
helpers should not get data directly, and I remember cakephp doesn't suggest get data in components neither( i cant' find the refer), why not get menu data in AppController's beforeRender method?

Re: Best practice output a Dynamic menu
Hi. I am storing my menues and links(tree behavior) in database. I am using several themes for the system, and hardcoding menues manuallly foreach theme is not an option. I have no problem outputting the menues and links with a component and helper in my themes, but i am simply wodering about the best practice to do this? Example, get menues and links from db in component, generate menu output with helper. Or should i do all this in the helper?

Re: Best practice output a Dynamic menu
why consider components and helpers? do you store your menu structures in database? why not just treat it as a data and output it directly in layout?

Best practice output a Dynamic menu
Hi all! I am looking for a couple of suggestions. I am currently working on a tree menu part of my app, where administrators can create menues, add links to the menues and move the links up and down in the tree. Now, I am looking how to output this menu with links on the frontend. Any suggestions on how I should proceed in this? Currently, I am getting my menues and links in a component, I am initializing the "getmenues" function in component from app_controller.php. And in my views, I call a helper to build the menu ul li li /ul Do I need to use a component for this task? Or can I just include everything in the helper? the database calls I mean? I have noe experience with helpers and components from before, so please be gentle with me ;) Thanks for any and all help on this issue!!

Re: Dynamic menu based on deep relationships
Ah thanks for your help, I managed to sort it out. Got it working quite nicely with ajax menu on the sidenav. /countries/view/204 is the main screen showing the provinces for the country (only one country now, so countries arent really used) /provinces/view/xxx views the regions belonging to the province the ajax menu calls /(currentaction)/ajaxmenu/(currentvalue) so even if a user goes directly to a region/suburb etc then the ajax menu will start where it should. Thanks for your help though, managed to get it sorted after a stroke of genius!

Re: Dynamic menu based on deep relationships
I think I know what you want but I'm not sure... let me know if I'm close. I'd do it one of two ways 1) User selects a province, page refreshes and now there are two dropdown boxes, first one has province selected, in the second user chooses region(and so forth) 2) User selects a province, select box appears with regions in that province(and so on and so forth) For method 1 I'd have the javascript submit the page each time a dropdown is changed- then the controller can figure out which menu items to load for the next select box. If several select boxes have been chosen, such as province, region and suburb, and province is changed, then the form would basically reset to only show the province and region select boxes. For method 2 I'd either use ajax to query the database based on the change in any of the select boxes, and reload the values in the select boxes. When the last select is chosen it loads the proper view. As for the menu knowing where the user is, simply set the relevant fields(province_id, region_id, suburb_id and establishment_id) based on the data that is loaded... if you load a suburb it should be relatively easy to get the region_id and province_id for that suburb.

Dynamic menu based on deep relationships
Hey all, I've looked through pretty much every menu tutorial out there for cakephp and have sat for ages to try and think up how I can achieve this but to no avail. I have a semi-complex database structure of establishments (restaurants, hotels etc). Province -> Region -> Suburb -> Establishment as well as Category -> Subcategory -> Establishment Now the user needs to be able to select the province from the list, have it show the regions under that province, then the suburbs, then a list of subcategories under that province that contain establishments. I can handle the fetching the data (eg how to pull out the list using containable etc) but it's the starting foundation I'm having problems figuring out. IT will be done in ajax but the actual ajax part I could probably do myself. I would like to have the menu also build itself from the page that the user is on (eg the user can browse around the menu in itself but if he also goes to the a related page (eg suburbs/view/cape-town) then the menu should know where the user is) I honestly can't think of even where I should start here. Building a menu is simple in plain php with simple relationships but it's getting pretty tricky with all the extra levels. Does anyone have any advice on a starting point which I could work with... I'm trying to make it extendable in the sense that I don't want to hard code anything. I'm starting to think it may be better off to handle the menu separately in a menu model and update the menu on each of the related models afterSave(), etc callback but that seems a bit unnecessary as it would just be duplicated data.

Dynamic Menu
Hi All,
I'm trying to build a menu system.
I've already created a table in the database, a model (with tree
behavior), and a controller.
The idea is that the menu has 2 levels (it will probably get 3 levels
later), and the following is showed:
-All parent of 1st level pages (controllers)
If I'm on a parent page (ie: a controller)
-All my children/2nd level pages (funcions in that controller)
If I'm on a 2nd level page
-All the other children of my parent (all the other functions in
that controller)
What I'm not getting is how to call this function from an element (to
later insert in the layout) so that I can pass the current page to the
controller function.
This is the db table:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `menus` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`parent_id` int(10) DEFAULT NULL,
`lft` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`rght` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`name` varchar(255) COLLATE latin1_general_cs DEFAULT '',
`location` varchar(255) COLLATE latin1_general_cs DEFAULT '',
`status` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
`created` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`modified` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
Model:
Controller:
Menu->field('id', array('location' =>
$location));
$allParents = $this->Menu->find('all', array(
'fields' => array('Menu.id', 'Menu.name',
'Menu.location'),
'conditions' => array('Menu.parent_id' => null,
'Menu.status'=>
1)
));
$myParent = $this->Menu->getparentnode($locationId);
if ($myParent) {
$secondLevel =
$this->Menu->children($myParent['Menu']['id'],
true);
} else {
$secondLevel = $this->Menu->children($locationId, true);
}
$secondLevelFiltered = array();
$i = 0;
foreach ($secondLevel as $children) {
if ($children['Menu']['status'] == 1) {
$secondLevelFiltered[$i]['id'] =
$children['Menu']['id'];
$secondLevelFiltered[$i]['name'] =
$children['Menu']['name'];
$secondLevelFiltered[$i]['location'] =
$children['Menu']
['location'];
$i++;
}
}
$menuTree = array();
$i = 0;
foreach ($allParents as $parent) {
$menuTree[$i] = $parent['Menu'];
if ($myParent) {
if ($myParent['Menu']['id'] ==
$parent['Menu']['id']) {
$menuTree[$i]['children'] =
$secondLevelFiltered;
}
} else {
if($locationId == $parent['Menu']['id']) {
$menuTree[$i]['children'] =
$secondLevelFiltered;
}
}
$i++;
}
return($menuTree);
}
}
?>
Could someone give me some orientation on how to procede from here?

Dynamic menu with AJAX (CakePHP 1.2)
Hello,
I created an dynamic drop down menu with prototype and scriptaculous.
It's working fine but there is a little problem. If an topcategory
doesn't have an subcategory (subcategories) the topcategory-link has
to link to an /controller/action and I don't need an -Element.
Topcategory with subcategories:
Topitem
Subitem 1 (-> link to /controller/action/subitem1_id)
Subitem 2 (-> link to /controller/action/subitem2_id)
Subitem 3 (-> link to /controller/action/subitem3_id)
Topcategory with subcategories:
Topitem (-> link to /controller/action/topitem1_id)
I hope it's a little bit understandable and here is the code:
requestAction('/categories/
getTopCategories'); ?>
array(
'controller' => 'categories',
'action' =>
'getSubCategoriesById',
$category['Category']['id']
),
'update' => 'submenu_' .
$category['Category']['id'],
'complete' => 'showSubMenu(' .
$category['Category']['id'] . ')'
);
echo $ajax->link($category['Category']['name'],
'/categories/getSubCategoriesById/' . $category['Category']
['id'],
$options);
echo $ajax->div('submenu_' . $category['Category']['id'],
array('style' => 'display:none', 'class' => 'submenu'));
if ($subcategories) {
foreach($subcategories as $subcategory) {
echo $subcategory['Category']['name'] . '';
}
}
echo $ajax->divEnd('submenu_' . $category['Category']['id']);
?>
How can I solve the problem?
Cheers
Sven

Polivoda Dynamic Menu and other menu htmlentities issues
Thanks a loot for this kind of menu. http://www.palivoda.eu/2008/04/dynamic-menu-in-cakephp and for the service, it helped me to improve my software solution based on cake. In order to validate (w3c) my pages I have encountered a small problem with ampersant (&) and in particoular the code in the case ‘current’ doesn’t escape, so in my page source I had ‘&’ instead of ‘&escaped’, in ‘no current’ case the escape was right, so I wasn’t able to have a unique validated result. I resolved this problem adding htmlentities PHP function in this way: $out[$caption] = $this->Html->div(’current’, htmlentities($caption)); instead of the original: $out[$caption] = $this->Html->div(’current’, $caption); Infact funtion 'link' escapes character automatically, 'div' probably no!! Thank again Polivoda you are great. But I think that this kind of problem could exists in other menu components (or in some other components at all) Babila Saronni Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Dynamic Menu
Yes, I did in cake.
I am no expert, so be aware that my solution can have some flaws.
so in app_controller.php :
Auth->user()) {
$controllerList = Configure::listObjects('controller');
$permittedControllers = array();
foreach ($controllerList as $controllerItem) {
if (($controllerItem != 'App')
&& ($this->__permitted($controllerItem, 'index'))
) {
$permittedControllers[] = $controllerItem;
}
}
/**
* build menu based on user's permissions
*/
$this->nav = array_intersect($this->nav,
$permittedControllers);
/**
* build sub menu based on user's permission
*/
foreach ($this->subnav as $k => $s) {
if (is_array($s)) {
if (empty($s)) {
unset($this->subnav[$k]);
continue;
}
$s = (string)array_shift($s);
}
if (!$this->__permitted($this->name, $s)) {
unset($this->subnav[$k]);
}
}
}
$this->set('nav', $this->nav);
$this->set('subnav', $this->subnav);
}
?>
"nav" holds an array of "menu items". In my case all items are
controller names, because i build my menu based on them. then I have a
"subnav" that holds the controllers actions so I show only the action
that the user has access to. so in the layout (or view) I loop into
the vars "nav" and "subnav" building the menu.
of course you can hack it to have a different approach.
Best,
~IF.

Dynamic Menu
I was wondering does anyone has created a Dynamic Menu based on User Authentication/Authorization (Role/Permission)? I have a project that I am going to be working on, I am thinking to use CakePHP or MODx CMS systems. Any suggestion?

Re: How can I build a dynamic menu ?
The easiest way I've found, if it's totally global is:
in the app_controller, in before_filter do a $this->set('categories',
$this->Categories->find("all")); (make sure that you have a $uses =
'Category' (i believe that's the right syntax, and I also think there
is a better way to do this, I just don't remember it).
Then in the layout, use $categories however you want too.
You could also then pull the menu off into an element if you desire.
If you only want it to be on one controller, put the line in the
before filter of just that controller.

Dynamic Menu With ACL.
(If you reading this and thinking. OMG! He doesn't speak english... Yes, you are right. Sorry about bad english) I'm trying to make a dynamic admin menu like Worpress menu. If a User don't have access to an specific section, the link to this section doesn't *NOT* have to be showed. Figuring out this, i'm thinking to make a table (sections) and verify the permissions on the controller but in this case, user have permission on other controller, not sections. Anyone have any ideias to do that? The table sections is necessary? If a make a menu hardcoded in the controller how to verify the permission without using the sections table? again, sorry about the english. thanks --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Also mentions how to flush the cache when you update the menu.

Re: cacheing a dynamic menu
Hi, Can anyone shed some light on this? I have searched the web and there is supposed to be a tutorial in the Wiki about creating a cached version of a dynamic menu manually when the admin tool updates certain things. Where would I get the wiki tutorial please? Glen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

cacheing a dynamic menu
Hi, I am trying to implement caching for my site and one of the major places needing this is the dynamic menu. Because this appears on every page, the model data for the menu is fetched in the AppController and used in an element included by the default layout. How would I go about ensuring that this is cached? Thanks Glen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Setting dynamic menu + submenu
Maybe I just don't fully understand your requirements,but... why can't you have a menu that can map any menu item to any controller/action - i.e. menu item 1 would link to pages/somepage, item 2 to dynamic_content_controller/draw_graph, etc etc... It's a benefit of Cake that URLs are so flexible, why tie yourself down like this? > Of course it would be much nicer if the path would be /menuItem/view/ > subMenuItem but as the menu is dynamic this isn't possible (no > controller with that name). I'm sure you could achieve this by modifying your app's routes.php file. Woody --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Setting dynamic menu + submenu
i dont know why you are thinking that way. you got ELEMENT to place your menus. and to make your menus dynamic why dont you use CSS. thank you.

Setting dynamic menu + submenu
Hi there. I'm quite new at cake but definitely jumping in to it. I have a question though. What would be the best way to set up a cake site with a dynamic menu + submenu. The way i see it i have to send two values to the controller so that the path would look like / controller/view/menuItem/subMenuItem. However isn't this against the whole idea of cake(stepping away from the whole model/controller/action/ concept)? Of course it would be much nicer if the path would be /menuItem/view/ subMenuItem but as the menu is dynamic this isn't possible (no controller with that name). I hope i make any sense. Can anyone tell me where i'm thinking wrong because i'm positive this IS possible withing cake. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Dynamic Menu
Greetings! I'm Gerald Anthony Piangco, you can call me GAP to make it short and easy to remember. I am currently learning cakePHP. My first time to use a MVC framework, though I do have an idea what and how MVC works. I'm a little stumbled the reason why I post a topic on this group to get enlightened about cakePHP more. I was hoping if someone here could make a practical tutorial on how to implement a Dynamic Menu in cakePHP just like how they did the Blog Tutorial on the cakePHP manual. I've seen recent post by "Steniskis" and the paste bin by "AD7six" but still don't quite understand it. I feel like it would be better if someone could make a step-by-step tutorial noting the directory where to put specific files and put more information for doing such. I'm really excited on finishing my website using cakePHP, hope you guys/gals here could help me. Thanks in advance! .GAP --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Dynamic Menu
Hi Sten,Thank you for your reply and code samples. I'm sure this will be a great help. I'll let once I get a change to try and implement the menu's.Cheers,Sonic --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Dynamic Menu
Hello
I have created a component with my menus
I began with the menu tutorial in the wiki
http://wiki.cakephp.org/tutorials:building_a_cakephp_site_part_-_1
I call the menu from my controller
lass RapportsController extends AppController {
var $name = "Rapports";
var $layout = "page";
var $helpers= array('html', 'javascript', 'ajax', 'time', 'page',
'thickbox', 'awbarplot');
var $components = array('Menu');
var $beforeFilter = array('init');
function init() {
// Create menu component
$this->Menu->controller = &$this;
$this->Menu->init($this->name);
}
...
?>
then I have the menuComponent where I build an array. The variable
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; is used to know which on which page we are.
'accueil/',
"Collecte" => array(
1 => "Collecte",
"Tournées" => "tournees/",
"Equipes" => "equipes/",
"Personnels" => "personnels/",
"Secteurs" => "secteurs/"
),
"Rapports" => "rapports/",
"Admin" => array(
1 => "Admin",
"Droits Accès" => "acces/",
"Usagers et groupes" => "usagers/",
"Importations" => "importations/"
),
"Réclamations" => "reclamations/",
"Déchetteries" => "dechetteries/"
);
function startup(&$controller) {
$this->controller =& $controller;
}
function init () {
$this->controller->set('les_menus',$this->les_menus);
$this->controller->set('active',$this->activer($this->les_menus));
$this->controller->set('active',$this->active);
}
function activer ($les_menus) {
$uri=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$i=0;
foreach ($les_menus as $valeur){
if (!is_array($valeur)) {
$i++;
if (eregi($valeur,$uri)){
$this->active=$i;
}
} else {
foreach($valeur as $svaleur) {
$i++;
if (eregi($svaleur,$uri)){
$this->active = $i;
}
}//foreach
}//else
}//foreach
} //méthode
}
?>
then in your view you include your element
renderElement('nav',$les_menus); ?>
then here is your element
$valeur): ?>
';
}
elseif ($i==1){
echo '';
}
elseif ($i==$taille_1){
echo '';
}
else {
echo ''."\n";
}
if ($k==$active){
echo $html->link("$libelle",'#');
}
else {
echo $html->link($libelle,FULL_BASE_URL .
$this->webroot .
$valeur);
}
echo ''."\n";
} else {
$taille_2=count($valeur);
foreach($valeur as $slibelle => $svaleur) {
$k++;
$j++;
if ($k==$active){
echo '';
echo $html->link($slibelle,$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
echo "\n";
if ($j==1){
echo '';
}
else {
echo '';
}
}
elseif ($j==$taille_2){
echo '';
echo $html->link($slibelle,FULL_BASE_URL . $this->webroot .$svaleur);
echo ''."\n";
}
elseif ($j==1){
if (($active<($k+$taille_2)) &&
($active>$k)){
echo '';
if
(is_numeric($slibelle)){
echo $html->link($svaleur,'#');
}
else {
echo $html->link($slibelle,FULL_BASE_URL . $this->webroot .$svaleur);
}
echo "\n";
}
else {
echo '';
if (is_numeric($slibelle)){
echo $html->link($svaleur,'#');
}
else {
echo $html->link($slibelle,FULL_BASE_URL . $this->webroot .$svaleur);
}
echo "\n";
}
echo '';
}
elseif ($j==2){
Re: Dynamic Menu
Hi there,I'm also looking for a solution to this problem but haven't gotten round to it yet. I was searching cakeforge for one but there doesn't seem to be one.I was thinking of something like a series of nested 'tab menus' which look something like the tab menus on the cake API. Once a tab is active it stays highlighted as that active menu even when navigating through sub menus.There is a tutorial on the wiki about caching dynamic menus but that only sorts out the optimisation part of things. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you find something.Cheers,Sonic --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Dynamic Menu
Hi all! I'm thinking about to create a dynamic menu (user based). The menu has its elements stored in a DB. Each user has his own menu elements. This is my idea: Using XML. User logged in -> call DB and retrieve his own menu elements -> write XML file -> apply XLST to show the menu I don't know if is there any other options but doing SELECTs each time menu is showed. I think XML way is fine because could be used also as a webservice What do you guys think? greetings! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
