[web2py] Re: help with helper!
You are right. item is in the code. Is it reserved? going to try changing
it.
Thanks

Thanks! now it makes sense.

Please notice the underscore in the "class" and "href" entries. That
is how web2py knows you want those to wind up on the final HTML version of
the element and keeps the names from colliding with Python identifiers
(like "class").

Re: [web2py] Re: help with helper!
It is because you are using it the wrong way.
MENU helper itself generates the html marckup, ul, li, a, etc
Give a look at the documentation here
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/05/the-views?search=menu#MENU
Look that MENU has some optional arguments to setup the classes to custom
ones:
The MENU helper takes the following optional arguments:
- _class: defaults to "web2py-menu web2py-menu-vertical" and sets the
class of the outer UL elements.
- ul_class: defaults to "web2py-menu-vertical" and sets the class of the
inner UL elements.
- li_class: defaults to "web2py-menu-expand" and sets the class of the
inner LI elements.
- li_first: allows to add a class to the first list element.
- li_last: allows to add a class to the last list element.
But it always generate the same kind of structure:
>>> print MENU([['One', False, 'link1', [['Two', False, 'link2')
One
Two
I you really need a different one, you should write it your own.
If your menus don't change do it hardcoded.

Is there a line number associated with that error message? Is "item"
something in your code, or is it part of the helper? Evidently it's being
created with only 2 values, instead of the 3 needed. I'm tempted to say
that "active" should be a boolean, but that's just a guess.

Yes font-awesome is what I am trying to use. Both attempts, yours and
yamandu prompt me the same error
(name, active, link) = item[:3]
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

[web2py] Re: help with helper!
I see you're using font-awesome. You need to add "fa" as well as the icon
name you want "fa-home". I also recommend you use the URL helper if you
ever want the url re-writing features of web2py. My recommendation is:
A(I(_class="fa fa-home"),SPAN("Home",_class="menu-item-parent"),_href=URL(
'index'))
Please notice the underscore in the "class" and "href" entries. That is
how web2py knows you want those to wind up on the final HTML version of the
element and keeps the names from colliding with Python identifiers (like
"class").
