Pasted into navigation.xml <module></module> tags and it works fine

Thanks for the nice tutorial. I'd have one question regarding rendering a navigation in a view. The following code works fine on a layout, but the navigation will not get rendered when placed in the view. Any thoughts?

<?php

$navigation = $this->navigation()->findOneByLabel('Activity');
$options = array(
'indent' => 16,
'ulClass' => 'content-navigation',
'minDepth' => 0,
'maxDepth' => 0
);
echo $this->navigation()
->menu()
->renderMenu($navigation, $options);
?>

Cheers,
jarnom

strange, becuase i copied and pasted that code right into my view phtml template and shows the same thing as if it would in layout phtml

Thanks for your answer. I added Zend_Registry::set('Zend_Navigation', $navContainer); to the end of the Bootstrap file and the view.phtm files render the navigation again. Don't know if this is an elegant solution. Something wrong with my Boothstrapping perhaps?


<?php

/**
* Application bootstrap
*
* @uses Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
* @package Default
*/
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
/**
* Bootstrap autoloader for application resources
*
* @return Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader
*/

private $_acl = null;

protected function _initAutoload()
{
$moduleLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(
array(
'namespace' => '',
'basePath' => APPLICATION_PATH.'/modules/default'
));

// Note: this has been moved to application.ini
//$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
//$autoloader ->registerNamespace(array('jpgraph_'));

if(Zend_Auth::getInstance()->hasIdentity()) {

Zend_Registry::set('role', Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getStorage()->read()->role);

} else {
Zend_Registry::set('role', 'guests');
}

$this->_acl = new Model_AppAcl;
$this->_auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();

$fc = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$fc->registerPlugin(new Plugin_AccessControl($this->_acl));

return $moduleLoader;

}


/**
* bootstraping layout, view and doctype and initiating navigation
* @return Zend_Navigation
*/

protected function _initMainNavigation()
{
$this->bootstrap('layout');
$layout = $this->getResource('layout');
$view = $layout->getView();

$view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT');
$view->headTitle('Title');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/main.css');
$view->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=uft-8');
$view->headMeta()->appendName('keywords', 'keywords');

$view->setHelperPath(APPLICATION_PATH.'/layouts/helpers',''); // Common helpers

$navContainerConfig = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/navigation.xml', 'nav');

$navContainer = new Zend_Navigation($navContainerConfig);

$view->navigation($navContainer)->setAcl($this->_acl)->setRole(Zend_Registry::get('role'));
Zend_Registry::set('Zend_Navigation', $navContainer);
}

}

If I do var_dump($this->navigation)); I get:

object(Zend_View_Helper_Navigation)#292 (17) { ["_defaultProxy:protected"]=> string(4) "menu" ["_helpers:protected"]=> array(0) { } ["_injectContainer:protected"]=> bool(true) ["_injectAcl:protected"]=> bool(true) ["_injectTranslator:protected"]=> bool(true) ["_container:protected"]=> object(Zend_Navigation)#293 (3) { ["_pages:protected"]=> array(0) { } ["_index:protected"]=> array(0) { } ["_dirtyIndex:protected"]=> bool(false) } ["_minDepth:protected"]=> NULL ["_maxDepth:protected"]=> NULL ["_indent:protected"]=> string(0) "" ["_translator:protected"]=> NULL ["_acl:protected"]=> NULL ["_renderInvisible:protected"]=> bool(false) ["_role:protected"]=> NULL ["_useTranslator:protected"]=> bool(true) ["_useAcl:protected"]=> bool(true) ["_closingBracket:protected"]=> NULL ["view"]=> object(Zend_View)#266 (18) { ["_useViewStream:private"]=> bool(false) ["_useStreamWrapper:private"]=> bool(false) ["_path:private"]=> array(3) { ["script"]=> array(1) { [0]=> .... // * content cut.

There should be no need to put Z_Navigation in registry. The fact that you have to do it and the fact that view does not work even though you did assign navigation object to navigation view helper, means that you are probably accidentally overwriting navigation stuff from its view helper after it is being displayed in the layout.

Hi Alex

I am getting an error in the page
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Invalid cache options; must be array or Zend_Config object'
could you please help me for resolving this issue

Thanks
