CMenu and multi-level nested menu

[trejder (Tomasz)]

arash,

I did it, you can find it here

it’s my first extension, so please comment on extension page whatever you think can make extension better

Thanks! However I’m not able to test it right know, as I’m not working on any new Yii project actively.

I’m planning to start a new one within next 3-4 months and I’ll for sure test (use) your extension, as these menus looks great. But until that time you have to test it yourself or maybe other forum member will be willing to test it and post his/her comments here.

Thanks anyway for this extension and good luck! :]

Hi guys,

the Emenu extension work well, but url link only can show when user point exactly at the label text, not the label panel.

Great extension anyway, will try implement in my task. =)

Here is Yii sample application with mentioned MBMenu used in place of original menu introduced by Yii.

It is worth to note that MBMenu has some problems (menu drawing and handling bugs) when one is using menu with more than two sub levels. See ‘Test’ menu in attached example or try to reproduce this problem on your own site with using below code:

	<div id="mbmenu">

		<?php $this->widget('application.extensions.mbmenu.MbMenu',array

		(

			'items'=>array

			(

				array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('/site/index')),

				array('label'=>'About', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),

				array('label'=>'Contact', 'url'=>array('/site/contact'), 'items'=>array

				(

					array('label'=>'A Sub in Contact'),

					array('label'=>'Very, very long menu item caption test...'),

				)),

				array('label'=>'Test', 'items'=>array

				(

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

					array('label'=>'Logout ('.Yii::app()->user->name.')', 'url'=>array('/site/logout'), 'visible'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest),

					array('label'=>'Another very, very long menu item caption test...', 'items'=>array

					(

						array('label'=>'Sub Sub 1', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),

						array('label'=>'Sub Sub 2', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),

						array('label'=>'Sub Sub 2', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about'), 'items'=>array

						(

							array('label'=>'Sub Sub Sub 1', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),

							array('label'=>'Sub Sub Sub 2', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about'), 'items'=>array

							(

								array('label'=>'Sub Sub Sub Sub 1', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about')),

								array('label'=>'Sub Sub Sub Sub 2', 'url'=>array('/site/page', 'view'=>'about'))

							)),

						)),

					)),

				)),

			),

	    )); ?>

	</div>

Menu items for third, fourth and more levels is being incorrectly drawn (no top border) and all sublevels are being displayed at once when hovering mouse over second level menu item containing sub-level items.

MBMenu correctly handles menu items with two line captions and has some minor drawing issues with three or more lines in menu item captions.

Hello I’m a newbie of Yii and PHP in general

Thank to your information I made my Yii Menu with multi-items!

I just modified this file [yiiProject]\protected\views\layouts\main.php

<?php  

  $baseUrl = Yii::app()->baseUrl;  

  $cs = Yii::app()->getClientScript();

  $cs->registerCoreScript('jquery.ui'); 

  $cs->registerCssFile($baseUrl.'/jqueryslidemenu/jqueryslidemenu.css');

  $cs->registerScriptFile($baseUrl.'/jqueryslidemenu/jqueryslidemenu.js');

?>

and I changed some lines for the widget

<div id="myslidemenu" class="jqueryslidemenu">

	<!-- <div id="mainmenu"> -->

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

			'items'=>array

			(

                         ...

			),

		)); ?>

		<br style="clear: left" />

	</div><!-- mainmenu -->

Quite good, heh? This one looks perfect!

I think you can post a new article on Yii Cookbook to publish it.

I’m uploading along with this post a zipped yii demoapp with included jqueryslidemenu. Hope someone will take a use of it.

Thanks, again Antonio!

I’m using jquery 1.8. Are there any compatibility issues with this version of jquery? I ask because the jquery (jqslidermenu.js) was last updated in 2010.

Have you been using this approach on any production sites?

Thanks, Mike

dropdown menu

array(‘label’=>‘Manage’,‘dropdown’ => true, ‘url’=>’#’, ‘items’=>array

					(


							array('label'=>'name of level', 'url'=>array('/controller/action')),


							array('label'=>'name of level', 'url'=>array('/controller/action')),


					)),

this works fine.
