Dynamic Menu

Rails
1

Hi, I think I’m doing this the right way, but can’t get it going. I’m
building a menu from the values in a mySQL table, and want to build it
on the fly. This is something that should be working but only works
halfway:

<% @pages = Page.find(:all, :conditions => [‘site_id = 4’]) %>
<% @pages.each do |p| %>
xyz
<%p.id%>
<% end %>

I know there are two page objects in the array, and the literal in the
loop indeed paints twice, but I can’t get p.id to paint anything at all
though.

You need an = in Rails tags you want displayed. :slight_smile:

i.e. <%= p.id %>

Ok thanks, that worked! Sorry for the stupid question, but I’m up to my
nose in learning curve.

It’s only stupid the first few times you do it.

By the time you’ve done it as many times as me, it’s
bang-your-head-against-a-wall-dumb.

Mauricio,

What kind of dynamic menu are you looking to create? There are lots of
examples out there, some on the wiki:

<>

Mauricio -

This is pretty typical problem. I would structure your site like so:

Home
± News
| ± CAT1
| ± CAT2
| ± Cat2.1
± Contact

To generate that navigation menu, you would essentially loop through the
children of “Home”, and their children, and so on until you’ve reached
the maximum depth you want to display.
