Hi
I am starting to work with rails and like to build a very basic cms.
I was using scaffolding.
Page title:string permalink:string body:text.
What I like to do is create a menu out of the database entries
permalink.
Those should link to the fitting pages.
So i modified my index.html.erb from the pages view like this:
<% @pages.each do |page| %>
<%= link_to_unless_current page.permalink, page_path(page) %>
<% end %>
I like to use something like the code above in a div layer as a menu
and link the result to the div layer were the <% yield %> is placed.
I was trying to do this with helper module and also with partials, but
I couldnt solve this.
Do I need ajax? or is there a way to do it with rails only?
Maybe someone has a good tip?
Best regards
dlc

Actually got a good bit of code for this done. 1. Scan a available controllers, and add table entries for any "new" ones automatically 2. If updates, generate new tabnav menus automatically at startup. I use widgets for my menu, and do nesting to multiple levels. Since I tend to use namespaces as well for different major functions, a lot of "assumptions" can be made based on controller location and name. The nice thing is you can then "edit" the table, and regenerate the tabnav menu. If your interested, shout, I''ll go dig up the code. I use ActiveScaffold, and Widgets/Tabnav for my sites. On top of that, I use some ruby code to glue it to a database table. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
