CMenu and Active menu items

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
21

This is mine JQuery solution which works fine for mine dropdown menu with actions from different controllers.

Perhaps it’ll be useful for somebody.




<script type="text/javascript">

            jQuery(function($) {

                $('a[href=\'<?php echo Yii::app()->request->requestUri; ?>\']').parents('li').addClass('active');

            });

</script>
22

Here is my code,

can’t highlight menu item as

<?php $this->widget(‘zii.widgets.CMenu’,array(

		'items'=&gt;array(


			array('label'=&gt;'Home', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/index')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Project', 'url'=&gt;array('/project')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Issue', 'url'=&gt;array('/issue')),


			array('label'=&gt;'User', 'url'=&gt;array('/user')),


			array('label'=&gt;'About', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/page', 'view'=&gt;'about')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Contact', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/contact')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Login', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/login'), 'visible'=&gt;Yii::app()-&gt;user-&gt;isGuest),


			array('label'=&gt;'Logout ('.Yii::app()-&gt;user-&gt;name.')', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/logout'), 'visible'=&gt;&#33;Yii::app()-&gt;user-&gt;isGuest)


		),


	)); ?&gt;

following code can highlight menu item automatically, after add the "/index"

<?php $this->widget(‘zii.widgets.CMenu’,array(

		'items'=&gt;array(


			array('label'=&gt;'Home', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/index')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Project', 'url'=&gt;array('/project/index')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Issue', 'url'=&gt;array('/issue/index')),


			array('label'=&gt;'User', 'url'=&gt;array('/user/index')),


			array('label'=&gt;'About', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/page', 'view'=&gt;'about')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Contact', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/contact')),


			array('label'=&gt;'Login', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/login'), 'visible'=&gt;Yii::app()-&gt;user-&gt;isGuest),


			array('label'=&gt;'Logout ('.Yii::app()-&gt;user-&gt;name.')', 'url'=&gt;array('/site/logout'), 'visible'=&gt;&#33;Yii::app()-&gt;user-&gt;isGuest)


		),


	)); ?&gt;

'active'=>$this->id=='item'?true:false

This worked for me.

Does anyone know how I would keep this menu item active for multiple controller? I have tried many combinations to try and make it work for the item and profile and rights controller but no luck… any suggestions?

24

This worked perfectly for me and only a 1 line solution. Nice.

25

as told ‘Backslider’, this works…


array('label'=>'Invoice Client', 'url'=>array('invoice/client'), 'visible'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest, 'active'=>$this->action->id=='client'),
26 

'active'=>$this->id=='item'?true:false

A shorter version will also work:


'active'=>$this->id=='item'

And for those of you working with modules, this is what I’m using:


array('label'=>'Admin', 'url'=>array('/admin'), 'active'=>!is_null($this->module) ? $this->module->id=='admin' : false)

Works for all the controllers inside the ‘admin’ module.

I thought I’d share this hoping it helps someone.

27

Nice solution.

28

Thanks. This worked for me !!

‘active’=>Yii::app()->controller->id == ‘sys001’,

– without the <controller> –

29

This is my solution for module




array('label'=>'Biblioteka', 'url'=>array('/library'), 'active'=>(is_object($this->module)&&$this->module->id==='library')?true:false),
