Call to undefined method "getcontrollerAction" in Builder.php line 180

Hello. I generate the item which contains only tag. Is there a possibility to add subitems for such?

Hi, I tried to install the package and got the following error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for caffeinated/menus ~1.0 -> satisfiable by caffeinated/menus[v1.0.7].
    - caffeinated/menus v1.0.7 requires laravelcollective/html 5.0.* -> no matching package found.

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.

Read <https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

My composer contain

"laravelcollective/html": "5.1.*",

I tried a downgrade but contains many more errors. It is possible to make it compatible with laravel 5.1?

Well, probably not that much of and edge issue if combined with your module package.

In my main MenuServiceProvider I have:

// navbar menu
        Menu::make('navbar', function($menu) {
            //
        });

Then in a module I have:

// navbar menu
        $menu = Menu::get('navbar');
        $menu->add('Profiles', 'profiles');

This works for multiple modules.

However the issue I'm having is with trying to get a module menu to over ride the module ordering ... I haven't checked but I'm guess is that the module order is what sets the default for the menus.

I tried:
in my main MenuServiceProvider:

// navbar menu
        Menu::make('navbar', function($menu) {
            //
        })->sortBy('order');

Then in the module menu provider:

// navbar menu
        $menu = Menu::get('navbar');
        $menu->add('Profiles', 'profiles')->data('order', 0); // tried with 1 too

But another module that has a higher order rank is still being placed first.

I probably just send all this to a db table and create them there but I'm still working on understanding.

There have been numerous issues created around the automatic active-state detection (#25, #32, #42, and #43). This issue will replace all the other open issues to keep things consolidated in one location.

The active-state detection does not take into consideration dynamic URI segments that may be attributed to the menu item. Below we'll look at an example.

We have a menu defined as follows:

Menu::make('example', function($menu) {
    $menu->add('Blog', '#');
    $menu->blog->add('Manage Posts', 'admin/blog');
    $menu->blog->add('Write New Post', 'admin/blog/create');
});

The following URI's trigger the active state as defined:

Hello again. The problem is that menu Items use Russian(non-latin symbols) and I can not add sub-items to such. Is there a solution to that problem?

Here"s part of the menu I'm building.

        $menu->add('HR', 'school');
        $menu->school->add('Employees', 'employees');

This will error out with

Call to a member function add() on a non-object

However this works

        $menu->add('School', 'school');
        $menu->school->add('Employees', 'employees');

I could figure out why this was Happening until I realized that the Route and Link name have to be the same.

Is this a bug?

I correct this for you.

$item->icon is correct. $item->data->icon is incorrect!

There is documentation for adding attributes to menu items, but how about the menu parent element?
I tried doing a $menu->attribute, but that did not work.

I would like to add class names to the

, I propose adding the same capabilities to menu as there are for item. IE:
$menu = Menu::make(...)->attribute(['class'=>'navbar-nav','id'=>'main-nav'])
would yield
...

I have no idea if I've done this correctly. Basically, I did as you suggested: Made a new service provider called MenuServiceProvider with two methods - one empty register-method and a boot-method that has the code from the example in your readme (\Menu::make(...)). I then registered it in config/app.php.

Now I just get this:

ReflectionException in Container.php line 776:
Class html does not exist

I appreciate to see these functionality like Route::group() :)

Do you plan something like this ?

sortBy does not sort.
I tried the exact example from the wiki but the output is not sorted by the 'order' key.

hmmm, this doesn't seem possible.

->add('view profile', 'profiles'. Auth::user()->id )

Or am I doing something wrong again?

I got this error when trying to setup menus.

Undefined variable: menu_example

I followed all the instructions, am I missing something?

I appreciate that you suggest a home for the menu-specific code in ones app. However, I'm still a bit perplexed.

Your wiki's quick-start section states that it's best, by convention, to place the code in a service provider. That is all well and good... Until you want to use the filter-method to filter out menu-items based on e.g. the role of the logged in user. Session data is unavailable from a provider, so you can't really do that without a workaround of some sort. At least this was the case, last time I looked into it.

The "Basics of Menus"-section contradicts the quick-start section by stating that the ideal place for the menu-code is a middleware. I find that a middleware is more appropriate, but still not without some minor problems. For instance, if you define the menu-middleware as global and your app has some pages without the menu, like a login-page, your package will still attempt to build the menu. Basically, the route decides if the menu is created or not.

A third option, not mentioned in the docs, is a dedicated view composer. First, you need a provider to bind views and composers together. This means you get to decide, in a clean way, when a given view composer should be used. In the composer itself, you also have access to the currently logged in user, which is nice. More importantly, the view is the deciding factor for whether the menu is created or not, giving you much more granular control than the middleware approach.

How about a dedicated section in your wiki that talks about the alternatives? Laravel itself is all about the freedom to choose for oneself, after all :-)

Edit: Wording and typos.

After using a similar approach as stated in #26, I'm now one step away from my desired solution.... ;-)

If there are items that are not allowed, they will be removed from the navigation, but any remaining submenus that no longer have any items, are still displayed....

Would be very nice to have some sort of clean-up possibility to remove all items without children and without an link.

Played around with this about but haven't gotten the ability to allow multiple modules to add to the menu.
It does work for a single module but it's first come first served.

Or ... is this a typical me mistake 😉

Thank you very much, you made a great job and saved a lot of my time!

Just little correction for wiki in bootstrap template: we need to use {!! $item->title !!} to disable auto-escaping and now we can use icons.

So, the new template is:

@foreach($items as $item)
    <li @if($item->hasChildren())class ="dropdown"@endif>
        @if($item->link) <a @if($item->hasChildren()) class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" @endif href="{{ $item->url() }}">
            {!! $item->title !!}
            @if($item->hasChildren()) <b class="caret"></b> @endif
        </a>
        @else
            {!! $item->title !!}
        @endif
        @if($item->hasChildren())
            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                @foreach($item->children() as $child)
                    <li><a href="{{ $child->url() }}">{!! $child->title !!}</a></li>
                @endforeach
            </ul>
        @endif
    </li>
    @if($item->divider)
        <li{{\HTML::attributes($item->divider)}}></li>
    @endif
@endforeach

nice work man.
gave it a try and it is conflicting with illuminate/html

• edit -

if anybody reads this:

Try doing

php artisan route:clear

Hello,

I want to create a breadcrumb with your menu plugin.

Can I do this easily ?

Greetings.

in my MenuServiceProvider I tried:

    public function boot()
    {

// navbar menu
        if ( (Auth::user()->can('manage_admin')) || (Auth::user()->can('manage_shisan')) ) {
        $menu = Menu::get('navbar');
...
}}

and end up with the error:

Call to a member function can() on a non-object

I was wondering if there is a way to prevent menus from showing based on user permissions.

arigatou~~~!

Hi there

route:list

Shows me that I have a named route called

infrastructure.index

It tells me that I do not have a route named

infrastructure.index

when I'm following your instructions in de wiki.

Have you encountered such an problem before?

Would be nice to parse menu with active element (current link).

Didn't find it in wiki or code.

lets say i have this menu:

Menu::make('main', function ($menu) {
$menu->add('Client', 'client')->prepend('<i class="fa fa-suitcase"> </i> ');
$menu->client->add('Insurance', '/client/insurance');

now i have a bootstrap list-group element in my design..
i would like to show the subitems in this list group..somethin like this:

if(currentmenu->hasChilds)
foreach($childs as $item){
{{ link for submenu item}}
}

any ideas or hints?

I've got the same error as an previous ticket that was closed with a solution that wasn't the correct one... (Call to undefined method Caffeinated\Menus\Facades\Menu::make())

I installed it by using the "Installation" section within the Menus wiki (https://github.com/caffeinated/menus/wiki/Installation)
Then I commented 'Caffeinated\Menus\MenusServiceProvider' in the config/app.php (providers)
And added 'App\Providers\MenuServiceProvider' to config/app.php (providers)
I created the file MenuServiceProvider.php within App/Providers and used the code from the Wiki (https://github.com/caffeinated/menus/wiki/Quick-Start)

Hi

Please take a look at the attached image.
Using the asUl() method it seems that an empty tag attribute (both attribute name and value) is being injected into each li element.

I haven't looked at the code, but I expect that this can be solved by simply inserting an if-empty statement when looping over any additionally set attributes.

        $menu = Menu::get('navbar');
        $menu->add(trans('kotoba::general.home'), '')->data('order', 1);

I also tried with Laravel's default files.

NOTE: I've been tweeking my L5 install so that it is possible that I have a conflict with my own middleware or something else on my side.

Hello,
is there any way to manually set the active link?
I have an item called "VPN" which points to /vpns to show a list of VPNs. But when I visit /vpns/create the link will not be active.

Hello,

in the attached screen you will seen a   at the end of the icon line.

This breaks my layout and is not correct, when I will only the icon.

Please correct this.

Hi,

a little question:

How can I get only the active menu point ?

Is there a function ?

I'm currently trying to have the builder check if each item will give access before it's added to the tree.
(ACL-based, defined on the routes)

Basically what I'm trying to do, is filter out items that are not accessible to the user.
(If a root item is not allowed via ACL, then all underlying items are also prohibited)

Initially I was looking into overriding Builder::add() to match the given URL to the routes, and then checking the route if it matches for access. But If an item is not allowed, I'm not able to return nothing from add().

Am I looking into the wrong direction? ;-)

Greetings, you may want to upgrade your current Readme installation instructions. You'll need "caffeinated/menus": "1.0.*@dev" in composer.json. On the current instructions, once I added the service provider & facade I would receive an error that the SP doesn't exist. Once I changed it the require to "caffeinated/menus": "1.0.*@dev" and ran composer update everything loaded up fine.

Hi,

within #32 you build in a method to get current active state via
$item->data('active')

But when I have a route to edit or create (example users/create) this active state is not set. But main route "users" is active.

Can u fix this ?

Hi,
Do you have any idea why in filter closure, dd(Auth::user()) returns null? I'm already logged in.

Thanks, and sorry for this rookie question!

This is a question or a request it depends.

There is some way to change the id property of the menu item?
It's not to add a property called id with $menu->add('xxx', 'xxx')->attribute('id', 1) what i'm asking. It's like having a method to change the id like

$menu->add('xxx', '#');
$menu->xxx->setId(1);

It will be a good addition to a database menu because it's easier to declare parents and childs.

Are you planning to add in the divider functionality?

How can I get only active state for list element ?

After I doing this I will check menu via dd method and all seems okay.

But when I try to get the menu items it load and load and never stops.

Can u help me whats wrong ?

Good evening,

how can I add a new menu item to an existing menu instance within the controller ?

Sorry for my bad english. I'm German.

Greetings,

Hello there,

how would I add a route to the menu, so that the active state on the parent is automatically set.

The route has a {uuid} at the end and generates urls like this

infrastructure/vms/7de30cf6-3773-4818-8e35-ca623d301e96

and is defined in my routes.php like so

Route::get('/vms/{uuid}',       ['as'=>'infrastructure.vms.single']);

I've copy and pasted each step from the Wiki pages "Installation" & "Getting Started". As soon as I add App\Providers\MenuServiceProvider to my list of providers in config/app.php I get "Call to undefined method Caffeinated\Menus\Facades\Menu::make()". Have tried twice with fresh L5 installations to no avail.

Hello. I want to use in my project ->prepend as in the example ( ->prepend('') ) as html . But it results into plain text

I've got a menu at the top of the site and want the children to be show on a sidebar.
Is it possible to show the children only?

        $menu->add('Categories',
            array(
                'class' => '',
                'id' => 'showLeft'
            ))
            ->link->href('#');

The above won't show class or id in the html link.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature request.

Hello!

I have currently one url e.g. "backend/".

All links in this layout will load bis ajax (e.g. backend/news)

The menu is definied over your add on.

How can I set here the link how is active ?

Greetings from Germany.

Hey,
I build the menu from several places and using Menu::get for add items to my menu.
But when I do that I can't sort the menu.

How should I sort the menu anyway?
Thanks

Hi , I am getting this error on my laravel5.0.13 new project.Not sure, this is an issue or my setup fault. Please kindly help.

Argument 3 passed to Caffeinated\Menus\Menu::__construct() must be an instance of Collective\Html\HtmlBuilder, instance of Illuminate\Html\HtmlBuilder given, called in D:\www\laravel-5-boilerplate\vendor\caffeinated\menus\src\Caffeinated\Menus\MenusServiceProvider.php on line 47 and defined

Since we still can use the official package, can we have some sort of option to switch which HTML package to be use in our app? Right now, I have to change all the HTML package to Collective version if I want to use this package.
