Menu

MenuManager

Manages menu’s in a class based system.

Usage:

>>> menu = web2py_utils.menu.MenuManager(request)
>>> menu.add_menu_item('main_nav', 'Home',
        URL(r=request, c='default', f='index'),
        activewhen=dict(
            a='welcome',
            c='default',
            f='index',
        ))
>>> menu.add_menu_item('main_nav', 'Blog',
        URL(r=request, c='blog', f='view'),
        activewhen=dict(
            c='blog',
        ))

You can render the menu in a OL or UL. If the menu item is active it will assign class=’active’ on the LI element.:

# Assume request
# a = 'welcome'
# c = 'blog'
# f = 'archives'
>>> menu.render_menu('main_nav', type='ol')
<ol class='menu'>
    <li><a href="/welcome/default/index"></li>
    <li class="active"><a href="/welcome/blog/view"></li>
</ol>
