I’m very new to Yii. I’ve searched for an answer, but I’m probably looking in the wrong place?
Can someone point me in the right direction please??
What I want to do is to inject menu items into the Main Menu based on model permissions (I’m using Rights at the moment).
eg: I’ve got the static members of the menu: home, about, etc. I have manufacturers, products and items models that I want to set user permission rights on that will drive the menu: so that a particular menu is displayed when viewing particular pages.
Manufacturers have products and products are made up of items (for example). A user can have edit permissions to some Manufacturers. The Manufacturer edit menu displays when the logged in user has edit rights. When editting a Manufacturer, products are displayed. If a user has edit rights for product the edit product menu is displayed. A bit like this:
- Manufacturer
[list]
-
Edit
-
View
-
Products
[list]
-
View
-
Edit
-
Manage
[/list]
[/list]
I have editted the mainmenu in views\layouts\main.php to display a menu when user has the correct rights, but that’s global and not related to the actual page being displayed. For example, the list above should only be displayed on a Manufacturer page, not every page.
Thanks
