How can I make the drop down list automatically gather all my models. So for example if I click on one of my Menu items "Products" I want all the products model to show on the drop down. I have seen a few extensions that supports drop down menus but nothing about gathering the list from models table.
I also need to be able to use images for the main menu items.
I’m slightly reluctant to start this because I always find a wiki or extension for this type of thing half way through. Can anyone direct me to an extension or possibly give me good guidelines?
Thanks

I think you have two ways to do it, preload and show/hide models, or ajax calls. I saw some tutorial about dependent dropdowns, it may help you.

There is this following extension that provides drop down menus but how I would I load the $models? how do I implement models into the sub menus?
<?php $this->widget('application.extensions.mbmenu.MbMenu',array(
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('/site/index')),
array('label'=>'Contact', 'url'=>array('/site/contact'),
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'sub 1 contact'),
array('label'=>'sub 2 contact'),
),
),
array('label'=>'Test',
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'Sub 1', 'url'=>array('/site/page','view'=>'sub1')),
array('label'=>'Sub 2',
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'Sub sub 1', 'url'=>array('/site/page','view'=>'subsub1')),
array('label'=>'Sub sub 2', 'url'=>array('/site/page','view'=>'subsub2')),
),
),
),
),
),
)); ?>
Thanks

Hi. Have you tried to loop through your model values and build the relevant submenu ‘items’ array?

Hi
So I can loop through my Models like so
for ($i=0; $i<=100; $i++){
$cat= ECCategory::model()->findByPk($i);
echo ($cat==null) ? null : CHtml::link(CHtml::encode( $cat->Name), array('ECCategory/view', 'id'=>$cat->ID)).'<br/>';
}
That’s as far as I can go, not sure how to build the relevant submenu ‘items’ array. How do I place that code inside my submenus? I tried something like this but that obviously wasn’t successful
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'Sub 1', 'url'=>array('/site/page','view'=>'sub1')),
array(
for ($i=0; $i<=100; $i++)
$cat= ECCategory::model()->findByPk($i);
echo ($cat==null) ? null : CHtml::link(CHtml::encode( $cat->Name), array('ECCategory/view', 'id'=>$cat->ID)),
),
),
Cheers

Well I was thinking more like this:
$items = array();
foreach ($models as $model)
$items[] = array('label' => $model->someAttribute, 'url' => …);
$this->widget('application.extensions.mbmenu.MbMenu',array(
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('/site/index')),
array('label'=>'Contact', 'url'=>array('/site/contact'),
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'sub 1 contact'),
array('label'=>'sub 2 contact'),
),
),
array('label'=>'Test',
'items'=>array(
array('label'=>'Sub 1', 'url'=>array('/site/page','view'=>'sub1')),
array('label'=>'Automatic generation from Model',
'items' => $items,
),
),
),
),
)); ?>

Thanks Again Ben, your code was almost perfect just added 2-3 words to go past non-objects in my model. Also I put a limit too so I opted for the old skool for loop
$items = array();
for ($i=0; $i<=100; $i++){
$model = ECCategory::model()->findByPk($i);
//foreach ($models as $model)
($model==null) ? null : $items[] = array('label' => $model->Name, 'url' => array('view', 'id'=>$model->ID));
}
Appreciate your help

@jagur2012
So what’s the issue you are facing with this code?
PS Where have you defined $menu2?
