emenu configuration

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi All,

I just installed emenu from arash:

http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/12700-cmenu-and-multi-level-nested-menu/

It works fine, but I am very new to Yii and have some questions:

  1. I unzipped the files in the protected/extensions folder and I am using the extension as such:

$this->widget(‘ext.emenu.EMenu’,array(…

Is this fine, or should the individual files be put in other folders?

  1. Yii’s CMenu is wrapped in <div id=“mainmenu”></div>, but what about emenu? I just put div tags, but then the breadcrumbs come at the end of the menu, and not on the next line?

  2. I would like it to look like CMenu with the blue background and stretch all the way across?

Some suggestions to get me started with Yii would be much appreciated…

Hi, and sorry about my english.

To solve the problem "2" I just put another div (class = "clear") after <div id="mainmenu">…</div>, this way:

<div id="mainmenu">

<?php $this->widget(‘ext.emenu.Emenu’,array(

‘items’=>array(

…

),

)); ?>

</div>

<div class="clear"></div>

…

The class "clear" is defined in /css/screen.css

Now everything is allright!

Thanks.
