Navigation order does not respect the `$navigationSort` parameter when used with `$navigationGroup` about filament HOT 13 CLOSED

navigationParentItem already exists btw https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/navigation#grouping-navigation-items-under-other-items

from filament.

All groups go after ungrouped items, we do not break up the ungrouped items with groups as it could result in weird behaviour where you expect part of the group to be in one place and another part to be in another

from filament.

Is there some way to archive this effect, or this this can be made behind a flag ?

Will you accept PR for something like this?

from filament.

No sorry, it would introduce too much complexity into the navigation logic.

from filament.

You can use navigation groups with blank labels to achieve a similar affect if you define the navigation() function yourself

Will try, thanks for the suggestions

hi @danharrin

Can we have something like protected static ?array $acceptNavigationGroups = ['Two']

Parameter in the main menu acceptNavigationGroups ?

It will look like this

class One extends Page
{
    protected static ?string $navigationIcon = 'heroicon-o-document-text';

    protected static string $view = 'filament.pages.one';

    protected static ?int $navigationSort = 1;

    protected static ?array $acceptNavigationGroups = ['Two'];

}


class Two extends Page
{
    protected static ?string $navigationIcon = 'heroicon-o-document-text';

    protected static string $view = 'filament.pages.two';

    protected static ?int $navigationSort = 2;

    protected static ?string $navigationGroup = 'Two';

}

What do you think ?

from filament.

Or even better, an option is to research recursive menus with the KNP Menu builder, https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpMenu

It allows unlimited nested menus.

from filament.

There is no technical reasons in PHP to not support nested menus. It's all frontend design work that is nearly impossible to balance and account for all combinations

How to have a menu item appear inside another menu?

To make menu Two appear inside menu One, is not possbible at the moment

We can have new navigationParent parameter to solve this issue.

For example:

protected static ?string $navigationParent = 'One';

The class would look like this:

class TwoOne extends Page
{
    protected static ?int $navigationSort = 2;
    protected static ?string $navigationParent = 'One';
}
class ThreeOne extends Page
{
    protected static ?int $navigationSort = 3;
    protected static ?string $navigationParent = 'One';
}

The problem is how to have a single menu item, then a dynamic menu inside the single menu, and then another single menu item.

Can you suggest solution ?

from filament.

I dont understand what that would do, sorry

from filament.

Hi, here is a picture of what im trying to make

Is this possible ?

from filament.

I suggest using clusters instead
