Merry Menu¶ ↑

TODO :

• add options to url

helper to create a tabbed menu. I18n compatible.

in initializer/merry_menu

MerryMenu::Builder.configure do |config|
  config.menu :admin_menu do |m|
    m.tab 'admin.menu.users', { :controller => "/admin/users" }
    m.tab 'admin.menu.cms', { :controller => "/admin/cms" }
  end
end

MerryMenu::Builder.configure do |config|
  config.menu :admin_submenu do |m|
    m.tab 'admin.menu.articles', { :controller => "admin/cms/articles" }
    m.tab 'admin.menu.categories', { :controller => "admin/cms/categories" }
  end
end

in view

<%= render_menu(:admin_menu, :menu_id => "adminMenu") %>
<%= render_menu(:admin_menu, :menu_id => "adminSubMenu") %>

if current page is /admin/users, it renders :

<div id="adminMenu">
  <ul>
    <li class="current"><a href="/users">Users</a></li>
    <li><a href="/articles">Articles</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
<div id="adminSubMenu"><ul></ul></div>

if current page is /admin/cms/articles, it renders :

<div id="adminMenu">
  <ul>
    <li class="first"><a href="/admin">Users</a></li>
    <li class="current "><a href="/admin/cms">Pages</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
<div id="adminSubMenu">
  <ul><li class="current first"><a href="/admin/cms">Articles</a></li>
  <li class=""><a href="/admin/cms/categories">Categories</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

merry_menu support Acl9 authorization plugin. just provide the roles for each tabs in the initializer : in initializer/merry_menu

MerryMenu::Builder.configure do |config|
  config.menu :admin_menu do |m|
    m.tab 'admin.menu.users', { :controller => "/admin/users" }, "admin"
    m.tab 'admin.menu.cms', { :controller => "/admin/cms" }, "writer"
  end
end

MerryMenu::Builder.configure do |config|
  config.menu :admin_submenu do |m|
    m.tab 'admin.menu.articles', { :controller => "admin/cms/articles" }
    m.tab 'admin.menu.categories', { :controller => "admin/cms/categories" }
  end
end

This code will render the user tab if the current_user.has_role? “admin” and it will render the cms tab if current_user.has_role? “writer”.
