Zend Menu extend

I'm working on a website with a "normal" menu and a submenu.

This is the method in the bootstrap which is resonsible for the navigation:

Bootstrap.php

protected function _initNavigation()
{        
    $view = $this->getResource('view');

    $view->addHelperPath(APPLICATION_ROOT . '/library/Pcw/View/Helper/Navigation', 'Pcw_View_Helper_');          

    $config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/navigation.xml', 'nav');

    $navigation = new Zend_Navigation($config);

    $view->navigation($navigation);

    $menuPartial = array('menu.phtml', 'default');        
    $view->navigation()->menu()->setPartial($menuPartial);

    $subMenuPartial = array('submenu.phtml', 'default');        
    $view->navigation()->subMenu()->setPartial($subMenuPartial);
}

library/Pcw/View/Helper/Navigation/SubMenu.php

class Pcw_View_Helper_Navigation_SubMenu extends Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu
{
    public function subMenu(Zend_Navigation_Container $container = null)
    {
        return parent::menu($container);
    }
}

According to the docs and topics here on Stackoverflow this construction should work, but the following error comes up: 

Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Zend_Navigation_Exception' with message 'Bad method call: Unknown method Zend_Navigation::subMenu' in /home/prj/domains/prjon.nl/library/Zend/Navigation/Container.php:366

The error is clear: the method subMenu cannot be found and called, but I've created the helper which is responsible for the handling of the submenu..

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • My code in the plugin file(ROOT/Application/SubmenuPlugin.php):

    $view = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getParam('bootstrap')->getResource('view');

$submenuPartial = array('submenus/'.$currentControllerName.'.phtml', 'default'); //$currentControllerName defined a couple of lines ago             

$view->addHelperPath(APPLICATION_ROOT . '/library/Pcw/View/Helper', 'Pcw_View_Helper_');
$view->navigation()->submenu()->setPartial($submenuPartial);

    Location submenus: ROOT/Application/views/scripts/submenus/

    Location submenu view helper: ROOT/library/Pcw/View/helper/Submenu.php

    Did this help you out?
