CMenu multiple submenu

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Can a 2 layer horizontal menu be created using CMenu? (Each link on the upper layer should render a different submenu.)

For me, the example the documentation produces the same submenu for each upper link, and the login link disappears.

Thanks Sean2253

$this->widget(‘zii.widgets.CMenu’, array(

'items'=>array(


    array('label'=>'Home', 'url'=>array('site/index')),


    array('label'=>'Products', 'url'=>array('product/index'), 'items'=>array(


        array('label'=>'New Arrivals', 'url'=>array('product/new', 'tag'=>'new')),


        array('label'=>'Most Popular', 'url'=>array('product/index', 'tag'=>'popular')),


    )),


    array('label'=>'Login', 'url'=>array('site/login'), 'visible'=>Yii::app()->user->isGuest),


),

));

Take a look at the ‘NavBar’-Style of the superfish plugin:

http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/#sample4

(click on ‘Examples’ after this url has been loaded)

It can easily be used within yii using the CDropDownMenu Extension.

This is a wrapper for the superfish plugin and can be set to ‘navbar’ style.

Thanks Thyseus.

I will try this.

Thanks Thyseus.

However I do not want a menu that changes with/without hover.

I want each submenu to persist when its parent link is clicked.

I may have to do a hardcoded querystring based system?

See the ‘active’ option

You’re just going to have to mess around with the different options and the CSS

<?php $this->widget(‘zii.widgets.CMenu’,array(

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘Home’, ‘url’=>array(’/site/index’)),

array(‘label’=>‘Company’, ‘url’=>’#’

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘About Us’,

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘Our Story’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Our Differance’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Our Working Methedology’, ‘url’=>’#’),

)),

array(‘label’=>‘Client’,

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘Testimonial’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Client Vedio Testimonial’, ‘url’=>’#’),

)),

)),

array(‘label’=>‘Services’, ‘url’=>’#’

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘Moblie Application’,

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘IPhone App Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘IPad App Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Android App Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Windows Moblie Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Cross-Platform Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

)),

array(‘label’=>‘Web Development’,

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘Mobile App Web Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Web Application Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Web Design And Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘E-Commerce Web Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘CMS Website Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

)),

)),

array(‘label’=>‘Solutions’, ‘url’=>’#’

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘Technology’,

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘PHP Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Open Source Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Microsoft Technology Development’, ‘url’=>’#’),

)),

array(‘label’=>‘Staffing’,

‘items’=>array(

array(‘label’=>‘Hire IPhone App Developer’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Hire IPad App Developer’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Hire Android App Developer’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Hire PHP Developer’, ‘url’=>’#’),

array(‘label’=>‘Case Studies’, ‘url’=>array(’/site/visitors’)),

array(‘label’=>‘Get A Quote’, ‘url’=>array(’/site/visitors’)),

array(‘label’=>‘Login’, ‘url’=>array(’/site/login’), ‘visible’=>Yii::app()->user->isGuest),

array(‘label’=>‘Logout (’.Yii::app()->user->name.’)’, ‘url’=>array(’/site/logout’), ‘visible’=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest)

),

));

but it can’t work well and give a parse error like :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘‘items’’ (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ‘)’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\mayur\demoapp\protected\views\layouts\main.php on line 41.

please give me solution for this error.

give me replay as soon as you can…

thank you.

Please add ‘,’ after array(‘label’=>‘Company’, ‘url’=>’#’
