Could you provide me step by step how to create Bootstrap 3 Menu Navigation Bar and Breadcrumb using MVCSiteMap MVC5?
I've got problem when change this code to Bootstrap model
#model MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models.MenuHelperModel
#using System.Web.Mvc.Html
#using MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models
<ul id="menu" class="nav navbar-nav">
#foreach (var node in Model.Nodes)
{
<li>
#Html.DisplayFor(m => node)
#if (node.Children.Any())
{
#Html.DisplayFor(m => node.Children)
}
</li>
}
</ul>
what I want is, there is BootstrapMenuHelperModel that read mvcSiteMapNode transform into navigation menu.
You are likely having issues because you have only solved part of the CSS problem. There are 3 different templates that are used by the Menu and 2 of them are also used by other HTML helpers. For that reason, it might be a good idea to create named templates (as in the example answer below) to create separate templates for each HTML helper (Menu, SiteMapPath, SiteMap, etc). For each level of nodes, the Menu recursively calls the SiteMapNodeListHelper, which might not be producing the HTML that Bootstrap is expecting (depending on which of the nav options you are using).
See this answer for a starting point, and then you can modify the HTML and class attributes from there.
Keep in mind you can also use custom attributes to supply additional data (such as CSS class names) based on the node selected, or you can use the IsCurrentNode and IsInCurrentPath properties of the SiteMapNodeModel to determine if the current node is active, if needed.
Here is a tutorial how to style your Sitemap:

I'm currently trying to make a website in ASP.NET Core MVC. In my layout page, I'm making a navigation bar to access all of the actions that can be reached through my controllers. I am however unable to create useful links.
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Index</li>
</ul>
My problem with this is that I still need the controller before the links and if I put the controller in front of the action like this
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>What We've Done</li>
</ul>
When I click on one link and then the other, the link will end up being "myurl/home/home/page".
How can I create the link to only link to the exact page I want to?
You should use the anchor tag helper to build the markup for the link
<a asp-action="index" asp-controller="home">Home</a>
This will generate the correct relative path to the index action as the href property value of the anchor tag.
Currently i'm using the MvcSiteMapProvider to provide my sitemap. I'm now converting my menu to use the same XML. I have created a MyMenu.cshtml with the following code
#model MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models.MenuHelperModel
#using MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
#foreach (var node in Model.Nodes) {
<li>#Html.DisplayFor(m => node)</li>
}
</ul>
#Html.Partial("_LoginPartial")
</div>
And i display it with
#Html.MvcSiteMap().Menu("MyMenu")
I'm trying to get nested menus to work. As i have some dropdown menu items that havesub catergories. For example
--Main Menu
------Sub Menu
What would be the best way to accomplish this?
The menu templates are broken up into 3 separate parts, so you will need to override each part (not just the main one) by specifying the additional templates inside of your custom one. See this answer for a set of templates to get you started. Then it is just a matter of modifying the HTML the way you would like.
Is it possible to add HTML attributes such as id or class to each menu item generated by the Grails Platform Core Navigation API?
Perhaps something similar to:
home(controller: 'home', action:'index', titleText:'Home', elementId: 'navHome')
I am writing some functional tests which use the generated links. However, the link text (and possibly the URLs) might change. Using an ID would make the tests easier to maintain.
The Navigation API provides the ability to add additional values via the data map and custom menu item rendering.
Example:
Step 1
Add the data map to the menu item definition in config/AppNavigation.groovy.
home(controller: 'home', action:'index', titleText:'Home', data: [elementId: 'navHome'])
Step 2
Reference the data map using item.data.* in the GSP file.
<nav:primary scope="some scope" custom="true">
<li>
<p:callTag
tag="g:link"
attrs="${linkArgs + [class:active ? 'active' : ''] + [elementId:item.data.elementId]}"
><nav:title item="${item}"/></p:callTag>
</li>
</nav:primary>
This will result in the following HTML:
<ul class="nav primary">
<li>
Home
</li>
</ul>
See the nav:menu tag documentation in the Navigation API documentation for more information.
All, I'm trying to use the Bootstrap Navbar user choice to control the filtering of posts shown to the user.
The model includes an 'expired' field which is a date-time type.
Three choices are: All (no filtering), Open (show only open issues) and Closed (show closed).
Is there a way to do this without defining three different index.html.erb variants (DRY problem). The filter should show only closed issues if #post.expired < Time.now .. etc.
Stated alternately - can controller 'know' what the user chose, although Navbar, as i am using it, is simply a fancy navigation toolbar?
Thanks for any advice.
Typically this is done by including a parameter in the request, and looking for that parameter in the controller. The bootstrap navbar uses regular anchor links so you should be able to add parameters easily to them (modified example from the doc):
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<a class="brand" href="/some_url">List</a>
<ul class="nav">
<li>All</li>
<li>Open</li>
<li>Closed</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
You can read the filter parameter in the controller by accessing the value of params[:filter].
I have read a few articles as I was searching for a solution. They all seemed to favor a hard-coded or HTML Helper alternative; however, I wanted something simple and database driven. This is my best solution (submitted as an answer, by me).
Here are some other articles' solutions:
An easy way to set the active tab using controllers and a usercontrol in ASP.NET MVC?
asp.net mvc and css: Having menu tab stay highlighted on selection
ASP.NET MVC: Tabs ASCX - Adjust CSS class based on current page?
Just pass a TempData down from one of your controllers like this:
TempData("CurrentPage") = "Nutrition"
Then, in your View add a conditional like this:
<ul>
#For Each item In Model
Dim currentItem = item
If (Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(TempData("CurrentPage")) And TempData("CurrentPage") = currentItem.NAV_Element) Then
#<li><a class="current" href="#Html.DisplayFor(Function(modelItem) currentItem.NAV_Destination)">#Html.DisplayFor(Function(modelItem) currentItem.NAV_Element)</a></li>
Else
#<li>#Html.DisplayFor(Function(modelItem) currentItem.NAV_Element)</li>
End If
Next
</ul>
I have accomplished this in the past by using the route values to generate a href and then setting the parent tab to active based on that.
This is a bootstrap flavoured version:
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li>Some page</li>
<li>Some other Page</li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('a[href="#Url.Action(ViewContext.RouteData.Values)"]').parents("li").addClass("active");
};
</script>

I know I am too late to answer this but if you are using ASP MVC and looking for highlighting Menu items using controller and action, here is the solution which is working perfectly fine for me -
<li> <i class="fa fa-user-plus"></i> <span>Signup</span> </li>
