I need to change the output of Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu
. I've found the two functions that I'll need to modify, and I know how to make the changes I need. What I don't know is how to make the Navigation object use my view helper instead of the Zend one.
Code snippet representing my class extension:
// file /library/My/View/Helper/Navigation/Menu.php
class My_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu extends Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu
{
protected function _renderDeepestMenu(Zend_Navigation_Container $container,
$ulClass,
$indent,
$minDepth,
$maxDepth)
{
// modified code here
}
protected function _renderMenu(Zend_Navigation_Container $container,
$ulClass,
$indent,
$minDepth,
$maxDepth,
$onlyActive)
{
// modified code here
}
}
Edits to Clarify
I want to change the class of the <li>
elements and remove the EOL
and indentation. There are no options to do that with the menu view script, which is why I'll have to extend it.
Initializing the navigation object in my Bootstrap:
$navTable = new Default_Model_Site_DbTable_Navigation();
$view = $this->getResource('view');
$view->navigation(new Zend_Navigation($navTable->getNavigation()));
Rendering the menu in my layout:
echo $this->navigation()->menu();
Solution
I got it working by renaming things as follows, but I am not clear on why I can't overload/overwrite the _Menu
class and menu()
function.
My_View_Helper_Navigation_MyMenu
myMenu
function to the the class (return parent::menu($container);
)echo $this->navigation()->myMenu();
in the layoutClass wireframe:
// file /library/My/View/Helper/Navigation/MyMenu.php
class My_View_Helper_Navigation_MyMenu extends Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu
{
public function myMenu(Zend_Navigation_Container $container = null)
{
return parent::menu($container);
}
protected function _renderDeepestMenu(Zend_Navigation_Container $container,
$ulClass,
$indent,
$minDepth,
$maxDepth)
{
// modified code here
}
protected function _renderMenu(Zend_Navigation_Container $container,
$ulClass,
$indent,
$minDepth,
$maxDepth,
$onlyActive)
{
// modified code here
}
}
$view->addHelperPath(
APPLICATION_ROOT . '/library/MyApp/View/Helper/Navigation',
'MyApp_View_Helper_'
);
echo $this->navigation()->myMenu(); // name of your class

EDIT
Sorry I've not seen your solution, it is exactly what I've posted.
But why this is not a trully extension of menu class?
