Navigation-related functions

Summary

public_nav_items($navArray = null, $maxDepth = 0)

Get the navigation for items.

Parameters:

• $navArray (array) –
• $maxDepth (integer|null) –

Returns:

string

Usage

Used to display secondary navigation elements within the browse and search pages.

The default value of the $navArray is:

$navArray = array(
        array(
            'label' =>__('Browse All'),
            'uri' => url('items/browse'),
        ));
        if (total_records('Tag')) {
            $navArray[] = array(
                'label' => __('Browse by Tag'),
                'uri' => url('items/tags')
            );
        }
        $navArray[] = array(
            'label' => __('Search Items'),
            'uri' => url('items/search')
        );

This displays the ‘Browse All’, ‘Browse by Tag’, and ‘Search Items’ navigation elements. Plugins such as Geolocation also add navigation elements to this array.

Examples

You can use the public_nav_items function to create a custom browse navigation.

<?php echo public_nav_items(array (
    array (
        'label' => __('Browse All'),
        'uri' => url('items/browse')
        ),
    array (
        'label' => __('Search'),
        'uri' => url('search')
        ),
    array (
        'label' => __('Browse Text Items'),
        'uri' => url('items/browse?type=1')
        )
)); ?>

You can find the item type numbers when viewing the ‘item type’ in the Admin interface. Changing the default array does not affect the navigation elements added by plugins.
