I am using the tree behavior to create a side-wide category structure that should be displayed as a explorer-style tree menu and/or suckerfish dropdowns.
Model, controller and view are created according to the cookbook: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/behaviors/tree.html Everything works fine BUT: If I build the menu via generateTreeList the result is a flat list with links: <ul> <li><a href="categories/view/1">Home</a></li> <li><a href="categories/view/2"> Subcategory</a></li> </ul> I cannot turn his into a tree/drop-down menu with DOM manipulation because the category hierarchy is not reflected in the HTML structure. To do so, I would need the tree built with nested lists. So I tried HTMLHelper::nestedList instead. As a result, I get the tree with nested lists but unfortunately without links to the categories. Now I only see two solutions to my problem: 1. Use "findThreaded" on the category table and write my own recursive function to build the tree. This would take some time because I am not a experienced programmer. On the other hand, I think if CakePHP has a tree behavior it should enable me to easily accomplish this common task. 2. Add the missing links to the category name when a new category is saved. E.g. category name form data "Home" is saved to the database as "<a href="categories/view/1">Home</a>". Then I could use HTMLHelper::nestedList for tree output. I really would appreciate if somebody could help me with this.
