I used Ancestry gem to provide full categorization function to my website.
At this point I want to create navigation menu.
The idea, is like this.
I click on main category, it navigates to it, there I can see all subcategories. I click on one of them. Opens up other subcategories for example.
I want to be able to see on navigation bar like this
Main category name -> Subcategory name -> subsub category name -> Product name
Somethink like this, but I not sure how to search for it in google because English is not my native language.
Main idea is to be able to see the tree of the categories that are siblings and parents to the children categories :)
Does somebody could suggest something for me. :)
Thank You !!
Easy and flexible breadcrumbs for Rails.
You need navigation menu to be seen as you navigate through on clicks.
Then use breadcrumb navigation menu.
It is simpler to use and it gives you the navigation as you expect on your clicks wherever you go.
For installation and requirements, check out this:

Is there anyway to only show the menu item alias in the URL without its parent alias? I know I can create a hidden menu with all items in the root level but this will make the breadcrumb unusable.
For example: www.mysite.com/grand-parent/parent/child
I like it to be just www.mysite.com/child
I have url rewrite/sef turned on using Joomla 2.5.
Thanks,

There is a workaround.
Create a seperate menu and create menu item in that menu with required alias.
Then on the menu you want the link in the first place, create a menu item of type menu Alias and select the seperate menu item as target. This way parent alias will no appear infront for any alias type menu items.
No need for any workarounds. It works straight on.
(Written for J 2.5 but J 3 should be the same)
Choose the menu item which you wish to remove from the SEF URL (the parent menu which provides the url). Open it from the menu manager
In the section on the left, titled "Details" there is a row with "Alias". Next to it there's a button "Inherited". Click it so it becomes "Not Inherited".
Save & Close
Voila! It disappears .
It work's with "Direct Alias" extension.
http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/direct-alias
After instaling it "Inherited" button apears next to "Alias".
I have just had a similar problem and this plugin worked perfectly to achieve what I needed. This saves me hours of work creating 301 redirects. I had to buy the pro version to get the control over individual menu items. This gives you the functionality Ben Shomer describes above eg Next to it there's a button "Inherited". Click it so it becomes "Not Inherited". The free version controls ALL menu item aliases. Great plugin, highly recommended.
To perform what you want to do :
1- Install "Direct Alias" extension : http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/direct-alias
2- Go to "Menus" -> "All Menus Items" and select your menu item.
After "Alias" field you will have two buttons "Relative" and "Inherited".
Click on "Relative". It will transform to "Direct". Save and test.
You have now a direct link for your child item in your menu.
Note : If you don't install Direct "Direct Alias" extension the two button will not display.
I'm not sure it's possible with core Joomla.
You can achieve this - and complete control over your SEF urls - with the sh404 extension.
I solve it by following these steps.
Create a hidden menu which is your child menu. (For creating the hidden menu go to the Link Type tab and select No for Display in Menu option).
Then create your parent menu with a type of anything under the System Links (except Menu Item Alias)
Create a menu (as a child of the parent menu you have created before) with the type of Menu Item Alias and select the hidden child menu you've created before as the Menu Item.
That's all. Now you can show your menu structure like-
|-Parent
|--Child
And when you click on the Child link the URL will look like mysite.com/child
My app is a holiday search app. Once the user touch 'search' button it will do a web query and gather results from various providers such as BING, YAHOO, ETC... I want to show these results tabbed according to the provider. I want to use a table to show the list of results of one provider and a tabbar on the bottom of the screen to switch providers.
The number of providers is dynamic means it can ONLY be known once the web query is done. So number of tabs required/view controllers required is NOT known prior to the web request.
Any idea how to implement this ???. Since i'm bit new to IOS dev, I would be delighted if you can provide a detailed description. Thank you. Feel free to ask any question if you do not get my problem.
You add ViewControllers to a tab bar and it will display a tab for that view controller - so you would have to put each result set into a view controller and add them to the tab bar.
be aware a tab bar can only display 5 tabs before it switches to 4 tabs and a more… controller.
A possibly better way would be to have a button that brings up a UIPickerView which has a list of the result sources. that way you can have as many result sources as you like!
I'm trying to make a 'favorite links page' where the sitemap is on the left, and you can drag your preferred links to the right. The items on the left that have been added to the list on the right are disabled, if the items on the right are drug back, their corresponding item on the left is enabled. I'm thinking I can use this: jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#connect-lists and this: jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#items but I haven't found any options that seem to fit this use case. Would I be better off just making something custom using droppable items (like this jqueryui.com/demos/droppable/#shopping-cart)? I'm just looking for some info here, because I don't want to head down a dead end. Thanks,

I am using MvcSiteMap.Core.dll in order to show sitemap in tab form.I want to show sun menu (in tab form) just beneath the parent tab.How to achieve this.
I could not get the submenu() call to work based on a selected node at the top level so I 'borrowed' code from eth source and wrote my own helper: http://mvcsitemap.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=57379 you can then style the results anyway you want. Hope this helps
OK, I am now wondering how to handle navigation tabs with ASP.NET MVC. Giving an example, suppose you have the tabs like you have here at stackoverflow. So, Questions, Tags, Users, etc.
Now lets say you have a "sub tab" under this main one. So there were for example View and Add tabs displayed once you had selected the main Questions tab. Some questions:
Would it be best to have a set of routes like http://site/questions/view and http://site/questions/add for those two instances?
Would you therefore have a NavigationController that contained actions for each of the main tabs i.e. Questions, Tags, etc and then and id value for the sub tab i.e. View and Add. This would then give you something like the following:
public ActionResult Questions(string view)
public ActionResult Tags(string view)
Etc
Or would you have a controller per tab/navigation item and if so how would that be implemented?
Say you needed to show the tab(s) selected via something like highlighting. In the view (I guess you would have a partial view for this) for the navigation tabs, would this directly reference the URL to determine which should be highlighted or is this best acieved some other way?
Thanks in advance for any pointers
Your best bet would be to stick to REST. I would stick to having a controller per main tab and each sub-tab corresponding to the possible REST actions: index, new. Edit and delete are item-specific so wouldn't get tabs. Create is called by new and update by edit.
An exception to that in your example would be the 'Ask a Question' tab. Its at the same level as the Questions tab (index) but would call Questions/New.
I think your controllers should be more closely bound to your model than your user interface (see my answer to this question). In general, I think you should think of a controller handling input for your model, i.e., do something to my model, then return a view (the UI) that corresponds to that action. The elements of your UI could, but do not necessarily have to, reflect the model hierarchy. For example, Questions, Unanswered, and Ask a Question in SO all seem to relate to the question model, but they are all top-level interface elements. Unanswered also seems to have it's own controller, but could easily have been implmented as .../questions/unanswered rather than as .../unanswered.
