Re: Site navigation menu with Zend_Navigation 1 Year, 5 Months ago Karma: 1

Hi,

I want to define more then one navigation. So I just dublicate the code and rename some parameters:

Code:

$navContainerConfig2 = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/navigation2.xml', 'nav');

$navContainer2 = new Zend_Navigation($navContainerConfig2);		

$view->navigation2($navContainer2)->setAcl($this->_acl)->setRole(Zend_Registry::get('role'));



$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'));

but I get an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception' with message 'Plugin by name 'Navigation2' was not found in the registry

can you help me?

$view->navigation() is a view helper function, not a variable so you cannot just say navigatin2 unless you write a view helper plugin called that.
ZF does not support multiple navigations as discussed here
There is a workaround suggested in comment "24/Aug/09 06:17 AM". It involves not assigning navigation to view at bootstrap (and thus not being able to add more late) but instead put Z_Nav objects in Z_Registry and then have the navigation view helper in layout render the navigation based on the Z_Nav objects in Z_Registry.

Bootstrap:

Code:



$navContainerConfig2 = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/navigation2.xml', 'nav'); 

$navContainer2 = new Zend_Navigation($navContainerConfig2);

Zend_Registry::set('nav2', $navContainer2);



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

$navContainer = new Zend_Navigation($navContainerConfig);

Zend_Registry::set('nav', $navContainer);

Layout

Code:



echo $this->navigation()->menu()->renderMenu(Zend_Registry::get('nav2'))->setAcl()->etc;

echo $this->navigation()->menu()->renderMenu(Zend_Registry::get('nav))->setAcl()->etc;

hi again. I have found a more better way to manage multiple navigation in my web application.
in /configs in your navigation.xml you can define more then just one navigation. It looks that way:

Code:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<config>

	<nav>

		<menu1>

			<label>menu1</label>

			<uri>#</uri>

			<pages>

				<pa>

					<label>Index</label>

					<resource>default:index</resource>

					<module>default</module>

					<controller>index</controller>

					<action>index</action>

					<privilege>index</privilege>

				</pa>

			</pages>

		</menu1>

	</nav>

</config>

we can keep the navigation code in bootstrap just like you did it alex:

Code:



$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' ) );

in any layout you want to display a navigation you do the following:

Code:



$navPrimary = $this->navigation()->findOneByLabel(menu1');

echo $this->navigation()

                   ->menu()

                   ->renderMenu($navPrimary);

thats all and it works

So then I can just add

Code:



$navSecondary = $this->navigation()->findOneByLabel(menu2'); 

echo $this->navigation() 

                   ->menu() 

                   ->renderMenu($navSecondary);

??

Great tip. Thank you for letting me know.
