Submenu in Rails

Rails
1

Hi All,

Is it necessary to have a separate controller for each sub-menu and
sub-sub-menus.

I want the nav buttons of the main section and the sub-menu point to
each
other, is this possible with rails partials ?

Is there any tutorial for sub-menus ?

Thanks & Warm Regards,

Hi All,

sub-sub-menus.

No, it’ s not necessary . The issue of menus, sub-menu etc are graphical
layout that can be customized by CSS and HTML. suppose we have the
following
menu:

Items 
|  New Item
---------------

| List |
----------------------------------
| By catergory |
--------------------
| By name |
--------------------

The corresponding actions can be in one controller say,
items_controller.rb.

I want the nav buttons of the main section and the sub-menu point to each
other, is this possible with rails partials ?

A partial in nothing but a device for breaking the rendering process
into
more manageable chunk. When you look at partials look at them as
super-methods (super-functions) that can be used and reused in several
places. So the issue of partials has somehow nothing to do with your
navigation buttons.

Is there any tutorial for sub-menus ?

I haven’t searched for one, but that is a wake up call for me to create
one
for rails newbies!!

The first place I go to for tips/tricks and tuts is Railscasts. Check
out:

It may not be everything you want/need, but it may give a few
pointers. I’m going to give it a watch tonight and add it to my own
ref library.

I haven’t scrutinized it, but I just bumped into it online.
