Menu ... question

422

Not massively competent as yet with Vanilla Core. But I do have a quetion.

I need to add menu item, now this I can do quite easily. But ...

The menu item needs to have an id.

Its format is in plain html ..

< a id="aTag" href="javascript:toggleText();" >Hide Slideshow< /a >

Any ideas on best practice to do this, and I really do not wish to edit this to config files.. because this is for a theme I am producing for sale.

I'd just put the html as you want it right into the default.master.tpl. If you want an option that's only visible to signed in users you can do something like:

{if $User.SignedIn}
  ....
{/if}

I nearly have this @Todd.

I have.

$this->Menu->AddLink('Hide Slideshow', T('Hide Slideshow'), 'javascript:toggleText()', FALSE, array('id' => 'aTag'));

Added in default.master.php

The issue I have is the link needs to be just : javascript:toggleText()

But it is prepending the site link Before the toggle... so the href should be:

href="javascript:toggleText()"

instead in firebug I see ..

href="http://domain.com/javascript:toggleText()"

Any ideas where I am going wrong please or please if @Tim could assist

Yeah, just put the actual html in your theme. You don't have to do $this->Menu->AddLink(...).

Tried that but menu, is within a php block. Lol this is driving me mad... Dont even get me on next question.. Of toggle state cookies......Will post my codeblock.

<?php $Session = Gdn::Session(); if ($this->Menu) { $this->Menu->AddLink('Dashboard', T('Dashboard'), '/dashboard/settings', array('Garden.Settings.Manage')); // $this->Menu->AddLink('Dashboard', T('Users'), '/user/browse', array('Garden.Users.Add', 'Garden.Users.Edit', 'Garden.Users.Delete')); $this->Menu->AddLink('Activity', T('Activity'), '/activity'); $this->Menu->AddLink('Hide Slideshow', T('Hide Slideshow'), 'javascript:toggleText()', FALSE, array('id' => 'aTag')); if ($Session->IsValid()) { $Name = $Session->User->Name; $CountNotifications = $Session->User->CountNotifications; if (is_numeric($CountNotifications) && $CountNotifications > 0) $Name .= ' '.$CountNotifications.''; if (urlencode($Session->User->Name) == $Session->User->Name) $ProfileSlug = $Session->User->Name; else $ProfileSlug = $Session->UserID.'/'.urlencode($Session->User->Name); $this->Menu->AddLink('User', $Name, '/profile/'.$ProfileSlug, array('Garden.SignIn.Allow'), array('class' => 'UserNotifications')); $this->Menu->AddLink('SignOut', T('Sign Out'), SignOutUrl(), FALSE, array('class' => 'NonTab SignOut')); } else { $Attribs = array(); if (SignInPopup() && strpos(Gdn::Request()->Url(), 'entry') === FALSE) $Attribs['class'] = 'SignInPopup'; $this->Menu->AddLink('Entry', T('Sign In'), SignInUrl($this->SelfUrl), FALSE, array('class' => 'NonTab'), $Attribs); } echo $this->Menu->ToString(); } ?>

If I add html : like. <a id="aTag" href="javascript:toggleText();">Hide Slideshow</a>

Before starting php tag , it displays ( but obviously dont want it there )

If I add it after the final ?> it doesnt display...

Strike the above , am handling another way.

Okay, but you know that you can always break out of php blocks and go back into them? That's a php fundamental.

$Session = Gdn::Session();
if ($this->Menu) {
   ?><b>Wow, I can type html!!!</b><?php
   ...
}
