using Debug::dump($tree); provides this http://bin.fuelphp.com/~HV

Kindly check and reply soon.

My Controller as follows: http://bin.fuelphp.com/~HW

So i fetching my Dashboard title using this <?= $sidebar_menu[1]['children'][2]['title']; ?>

It is working, But i thing the fetching is too complicated. How i do it?

Harro

It's a tree structure, so you need to recurse over it.

We use this logic to retrieve the tree and display it: http://bin.fuelphp.com/snippet/view/HY

And it's view looks like this: http://bin.fuelphp.com/snippet/view/HZ

Note that this is relatively old code, most of the logic in the view should have to go into a Presenter, to keep the view free of code. And it's specific to our application framework, so you might have to adapt it.

p.s.: this code produces the accordion main menu on the left: http://i.imgur.com/yc7mFRZ.png

I found easy way,

Firstly i used \Arr::reindex() over the array Dump_tree(). So it created new index starting from 0,

So it is easy to create menu using a foreach(). Need very less logic.

Harro

If you only have one level of menu, that is an option. If your menu has unlimited depth, the only proper way to go over it is recursion.

Dear Harro, It is possible,
I have done that

http://bin.fuelphp.com/~H3

i used, this, I getting all menu and also submenu, it it have. Kind reply required.

Harro

As I said, you can hardcode your loops when you have a known structure.

Your code will probably work as long as there is only a main menu and one level of submenu's. As soon as you introduce a second submenu level (Menu -> submenu -> sub-submenu), you code fails. You don't have that with recursion. Obviously, your css must be able to support that.

I can't judge whether or not this is an issue for you, I don't know your application. I just want to be complete in my answer, also for other people finding this thread.

Thanks Harro,

Is there any way to read the max depth of tree?

Harro

Yes: $model->depth();
