Zend_Nav in zend framework issue getting menu to show up
- by Kalle Johansson
Hi !
First time of here, so please bare with me.
I have to following problem, using zend framework, specifically zend_nav to create a reusable menu to be passed in via the layout/layout.phtml page. These are the code fragments in their respective files.
first of in application/configs/navigation.xml,
<configdata>
<nav>
<label>Home</label>
<controller>index</controller>
<action>index</action>
<pages>
<add>
<label>Add</label>
<controller>post</controller>
<action>add</action>
</add>
<login>
<label>Admin</label>
<controller>login</controller>
<action>login</action>
</login>
</pages>
</nav>
</configdata>
this is then passed into an object in the Bootstrap.php file(only showing that specific method)
protected function __initNavigation(){
$this->bootstrap('layout');
$layout = $this->getResource('layout');
$view = $layout->getView();
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION .'/config/navigation.xml', 'nav');
$container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
$view->navigation($container);
}
and then finally in the view layout.phtml, the object should return the menu
<!-- application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml -->
<?php echo $this->doctype() ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Zend Blog !</title>
<?php echo $this->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/global.css')?>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<div id="header-logo">
<b>Blog Me !</b>
</div>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<?php echo $this->navigation()->menu() ?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php echo $this->layout()->content ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The menu does however not show up when i start up my app in the browser, any ideas as to might have gone wrong, is humbly received.
Thanks in advance Kalle Johansson
