Introduction
This TastyIgniter extension allows end users to manage static pages and menus with a simple WYSIWYG user interface.
Installation
To install this extension, click on the Add to Site button on the TastyIgniter marketplace item page or search for Igniter.Pages in Admin System > Updates > Browse Extensions
Admin Panel
In the admin user interface you can create, edit or delete pages and menus.
Usage
The first thing we have to do is create the layout that will host all pages of the website.
---
description: Static layout for static pages
'[staticPage]':
'[staticMenu]':
code: main-menu
---
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ $this->page->title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
@themeComponent('staticMenu')
{!! page() !!}
</body>
</html>
Include the staticPage and staticMenu component to the layout. The staticMenu component has the code property that
should correspond to a code of the static menu to display.
The staticMenu component injects the $menuItems page variable. The $menuItems variable is an array of objects. Each
object has the following properties:
-
title- specifies the menu item title. -
url- specifies the absolute menu item URL. -
isActive- indicates whether the item corresponds to a page currently being viewed. -
isChildActive- indicates whether the item contains an active subitem. -
extraAttributes- specifies the menu item extra HTML attributes -
items- an array of the menu item subitems, if any. If there are no subitems, the array is empty
@foreach ($menuItems as $item)
<li><a href="{{ $item->url }}">{{ $item->title }}</a></li>
@endforeach
Setting the active menu item explicitly
You may want to tag a particular menu item explicitly as active in some cases. You can do that in the onInit()
function of the page, by assigning a value to the activeMenuItem page variable matching the menu item code that you
want to activate. In the Edit Menu Item popup, menu item codes are managed.
function onInit()
{
$this['activeMenuItem'] = 'about-us';
}
