Creating a menu in Lithium should be easy. This little helper does only one thing : it takes a menu, identifies the active link and render a ul/li menu.
Just add in your config/bootstrap/libraries.php :
Libraries::add('li3_menu') ;
And in your view :
$this->menu->display(array(
'Home' => '/',
'My pictures' => '/pictures'
));
You can specify more params into your links by defining them as arrays :
- url : destination (can be an array or a string)
- mask : if you wan't to specify a more specific mask. By default, the mask is the destination url.
- active : if you want to force an active item, set this to (bool) true.
- class : if you want to add a css class to your item
$this->menu->display(array(
'Home' => ['url' => '/', 'mask' => ['controller' => 'home']] // Will be active for all the Home controller actions
'My pictures' => ['url' => ['controller' => 'pictures', 'action' => my], 'class' => 'my-pictures']
));
