# Aug 6th 2008, 20:30 cl0s_ using the containable behavior.. i can pass it an array correct? Just didnt see anyone doing it in the example and im getting some errors with it..
# Aug 6th 2008, 20:23 batcoder-7 polerin: im going ot barely get this working hehehe
# Aug 6th 2008, 20:04 polerin btw there are any number of more elegant ways of specifying that array for the element, so once you get stuff working and the kinks worked out, you may wish to look at pulling it from Configure::'s cache or something along those lines
# Aug 6th 2008, 20:02 batcoder-7 i hate doing this dynamic menu stuff
# Aug 6th 2008, 20:02 batcoder-7 polerin: yea
# Aug 6th 2008, 20:01 polerin and you can just specify multiples of those and only use one style :)
# Aug 6th 2008, 20:00 batcoder-7 ah
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:57 polerin body.items.detail #menu .itemsdetails { background: #bbb; }
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:56 batcoder-7 i dont get how the body class would be abel to mess with a style of the current tab/ link
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:54 polerin then in your css just have a rule for how ever detaild you need it to be
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:53 polerin you could say <body class="items details">
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:53 polerin if you were in Items details
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:53 polerin set the class on your body tag
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:53 polerin that's actually really easy
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:52 batcoder-7 polerin: i need to highlight each link that the page is on as well, like change the class to current
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:51 polerin or whatever is neccisary given your division of main menu items
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:51 polerin then check $this->controller or $this->action
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:51 polerin array('mainPage1'=>array('submenu item 1' => '/foo/bar/1', 'submenu item 2' => '/foo/bar/whatever'));
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:50 Hedz wrong person probably
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:50 Hedz ?
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:50 polerin batcoder-7: if that's all, then build an array of submenu's
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:49 polerin Hedz: you still need to figure out what page he's on, and that's done from inside cake more easily
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:49 polerin ACTION blinks
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:49 Hedz batcoder-7 js
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:48 batcoder-7 polerin: if you had to do it for a simple 5 main top level links and each one of those had about 5 2nd level links, no special things or anything, what way would you go about doing it ?
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:43 Ins|de so, sessions sound me better
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:42 Ins|de i previously had problems with referrer
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:42 polerin Ins|de: you can check the referrer, but that's not a 100% answer
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:42 Ins|de Hedz, that's another option
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:41 Ins|de polerin, no, just for an action on a list of items, because i would like to implement calls for i outside the list, and i would like it returns to the same location, i thought it maybe has and implementation elsewhere inside the cake :)
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:41 polerin etc
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:41 polerin is it going to change often
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:41 polerin is it determined on a per user basis
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:41 polerin batcoder-7: yes, basicly you need to figure out how to hand your view the correct array of submenu items, what the best way depends on a whole bunch of factors
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:40 batcoder-7 polerin: i think so, and if not hopefylly ie8 hehe
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:40 batcoder-7 polerin: you got any ideas on the *best* way to go about doing this having 2 tier menu etc, there will need ot be some kind of php interaction with it to determine what page etc i am on
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:40 polerin batcoder-7: I'm not sure IE 7 fixed that :/
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:39 Hedz Ins|de look for referer
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:39 batcoder-7 polerin: no one likes ie6 anyways hehehe
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:39 polerin Ins|de: is this a login action?
# Aug 6th 2008, 19:39 polerin Ins|de: you'd have to save the action in the session
