Okay, I'd like to pretend that I'm not getting my ass thoroughly
kicked by this, but...doing so isn't helping me sort this out. The
solution I'm trying at the moment is this: tell the AppController to
use the NavMenu model and then create a getMenuItems() function that
accepts a parameter indication which menu should be retrieved. The
function would return an array of menu items for that menu.
Unfortunately, I'm not getting very far at all.
For the moment, I just have this to see what I can see:
class AppController extends Controller {
var $uses = array ( 'NavMenu' );
$this->set ( 'primaryNav', $this->NavMenu->find ( 'all' ) );
}
What I see is an error in the set() method call: Parse error: syntax
error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_FUNCTION in /path/to/my/app/
app_controller.php on line 42.
Look, I know I'm probably doing something incredibly stupid here, but
the documentation just doesn't offer any help at all for including
dynamic content in a layout and my frustration is starting to show.
Can someone point me in the right direction and, if possible, provide
some very lightweight, dummy code that helps me put the pieces
together? requestAction() seems to be a discouraged solution these
days, so I'm trying a different route, but I'm not sure that it's the
"cake way", nor can I find much information about what the "cake way"
actually is for this scenario.
I appreciate the help folks have tried to give so far, I'm just to new
to Cake to skip steps. I need the remedial version, it's become quite
clear. :-)
Thanks.
