Following the same example, I've come up with something more dynamic -
but unfortunatly I cannot seem to get it to work, can anyone help me?
First of all, I call the element:
<?php echo $this->renderElement('topmenu'); ?
Then in the element, I call my menu section manager and request all
menu's (through a hABTM association) to an array:
<ul>
<?php
$menus = $this->requestAction('sections/rendermenu/topnav');
print_r("output: " . $menus);
foreach($menus['Section']['Menu'] as $menu) {
print "<li>";
if ($menu['path'] == $this->here){
echo
$html->link($menu['name'],$menu['path'],'class="active"');
}else{
echo $html->link($menu['name'],$menu['path']);
}
print "</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
The last param calls the search in the controller:
<?php
class SectionsController extends AppController
{
var $name = "Sections";
function rendermenu($id)
{
$menus = $this->Section->findAll(array('name'=>$id));
if(isset($this->params['requested'])) {
return $menus;
}
$this->set('menus', $menus);
//print_r($menus);
}
}
?>
Now, I get an array back, but I get a foreach error:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [Section] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => topnav
) [Menu] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => Home [path] =>
/ ) [1] => Array ( [id] => 2 [name] => News [path] => /posts/ ) ) ) )
Warning (2): Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
[CORE/app/views/elements/topmenu.ctp, line 5
Anyone?
Thanks very much,
Tane
