How can I make a language selector menu?

Have a look at the docs ?

Thank you DV-JF, but I would like to implement the switch in the menubuilder. So I have to live with the jump to the startpage when switching.

I don't get what you mean with this sentence. Could you explain?

You can put the language switcher wherever you want to. If you have e.g. a site spanning header or footer you could put the code in there.

heribertus · December 22, 2021

When I use the menu-builder then I have to give a link to a page for each entry. In this case I give the link to the startpage in the specified language e.g. /startpage/en for english language. I found no way to stay on the active page but in a different language.

In the past I used the language switcher that you proposed. But it can not be part of the main menu. That is the problem.

If you've created a menu like this:

Parent 1
- Child 1.1
- Child 1.2
Parent 2
- Child 2.1
- Child 2.2

and you're on page Child 1.1, is there a way to just get the siblings of the submenu, i.e. Child 1.1, Child 1.2?

And every time you change to a page under a different parent, it shows only the child menu items?

Tyssen · April 12, 2022

This is how I did it:

	$mb = $modules->get('MarkupMenuBuilder');
	$items = $mb->getMenuItems('Main', 2);

	foreach ($items as $item) :

		if ($item->isCurrent) :
			$currentID = $item->id;
			$parentID  = $item->parentID;
		endif;

	endforeach;

	$subItems = $items->find("parentID=$parentID");

	foreach ($subItems as $subItem) $output .= '<a href="'.$subItem->url.'">'.$subItem->title.'</a>';

Good day to everyone.

Please tell me how to implement my menu with different menu subclasses?

Here is the code of my old site menu.

That's what I've already done.

<nav class="mainNav">
<?php
			// load the module
			$menu = $modules->get('MarkupMenuBuilder');// $menu is an example

			

			$options = array(
			'wrapper_list_type' => 'ul',// ul, ol, nav, div, etc.
			'' => 'li',// li, a, span, etc.
			'' => 'main',// a CSS ID for the menu
			'menu_css_class' => 'mainNav__list',// a CSS Class for the menu
			'submenu_css_class' => 'mainNavDropdownL1 mainNav__dropdown',// CSS Class for sub-menus
			'has_children_class' => 'mainNav__item',// CSS Class for any menu item that has children
			);
			
			echo $menu->render ('main', $options);// render the menu by title		

		?>
</nav>

If this is not possible, please also write, then I will redo the CSS of the old menu.

Thanks.

Hello, @kongondo!

Can you please tell me where can I see the name of menu? It seems to me that the name and the title of menu are the same.

The menu name is automatically created from the menu title. It is not separately editable via Menu Builder (it's a page though). Could you please explain why you need access to the name?

Good day. I'm not selenium in PHP to be honest. But from what you sent me for review, I have read.

I can do this.

Rules: If the menu goes deeper than 1 level, then apply such a style. (But as far as I understood, the style will only apply to il and not to ul)

Thanks for the reference, I will try to understand, but I realized for myself that it's easier for me to redo the CSS menu. Since it's easier for me than with PHP.

Thanks. But for the overall development, everything is exactly on the test server, then I will try to do it more correctly.

The problem is that I need to use the title, say, 'footer-menu' in code: $menuBuilder->getMenuItems('footer-menu'). Then I think it is not a good practice to give a title to menu like 'Footer Menu'. Also, if the title can be multi-language, it might, I think, cause other issues.

This is already supported (version 0.2.7):

Clarity · May 24, 2022

I got it, thank you! I've thought that it is not a good practice because the title may contain letters on other languages which might cause problems with encoding.

Welcome to the forums @siaweb.

hi @kongondo, I dealt with my first question differently. Completely redesigned the menu for module requests. But I had a new question. I just can't redo the menu in my second project otherwise. The bottom line is that I use two classes for links example below.

xportde · July 18, 2022

Hi @kongondo,

after setting some of our PHP environments to 8.0, we registered an error on deleting menu items (ProcessWire 3.0.200, MenuBuilder 0.2.7, Multi-language):

method_exists(): Argument #1 ($object_or_class) must be of type object|string, null given in line 2602 in ProcessMenuBuilder.module. To prevent this, a check for item related page existence was successful:

if (!$itemID || !$pages->get($itemID)->id) continue;

Could you publish a bug fix release für this issue, please?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas from xport.

Hello,

I've been having problems with implementing my menu in my template.

Not sure how to continue here, it's not working as it should. First parent looks ok, but all submenus are not. Is this even possible with this approach?

Any ideas on this? Only custom urls are being output, even with built in methods. I have an older PW site I'm busy reskinning. That works but the new one's menu doesn't and I can't see what the difference is.

Here is my menu json:

{"2":{"title":"Home","pages_id":1},"17":{"title":"Portfolio \/ Services","pages_id":1170},"7":{"title":"Weddings","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1118},"14":{"title":"Portraits and Headshots","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1134},"19":{"title":"Portraits","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1186},"12":{"title":"Family","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1132},"18":{"title":"Maternity","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1182},"11":{"title":"Architecture","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1136},"8":{"title":"Real Estate","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1138},"15":{"title":"Events","parent_id":17,"pages_id":1140},"20":{"title":"FAQ -----","url":"#"},"21":{"title":"Wedding FAQ","parent_id":20,"pages_id":1174},"5":{"title":"Contact","pages_id":1047},"1":{"title":"Posts","pages_id":1020},"16":{"title":"About","pages_id":1149},"22":{"title":"aaaa","url":"#"}}

This is the test code I'm using: (it's a built in method of MenuBuilder)

$menu = $modules->get('MarkupMenuBuilder');
echo $menu->render('Main');// render the menu by title

And here is the output:

<ul>
	<li>
		<a href="/pwvanilla/">Home</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="#">FAQ -----</a>
	</li>
	<li>
		<a href="#">aaaa</a>
	</li>
</ul>

As you can see it is "ignoring" anything that isn't a custom url

I'm running PHP 7.3 and I've tried on other versions using wamp, the result is the same.

MenuBuilder is amazing but with this error I might have to abandon it, please help if you can.

Thank you.

mel47 · September 28, 2022

Hi,
Just to say that I'm quite interested by an answer to be give to @Greg Lumley since I have the exact same problem. I used this module in previous website so I was thinking to know how to use it...

Thanks
(using latest 0.2.7 on PW 3.0.205)

Greg Lumley · September 28, 2022

@mel47 I got it right. For use: I include the php file in the header. It's for a Bootstrap 4 site but I'd imagine Bootstrap 5 would be very similar.

Note: I did have an issue with a nav padding on "sm devices" which I couldn't resolve in the php output. In the end I added an additional rule to my css to fix it. A bit of a hack but it's working.

@media (max-width: 992px) {
    li.nav-item {
        padding-left: 30px;
    }
}

And here is the php

<?php namespace ProcessWire;

function buildMenuFromObject($parent = 0, $menu, $first = 0) {
	if(!is_object($menu)) return;

	$out = '';
	$has_child = false;

	foreach ($menu as $m) {
		$newtab = $m->newtab ? " target='_blank'" : '';
		// if this menu item is a parent; create the sub-items/child-menu-items
		if ($m->parentID == $parent) {// if this menu item is a parent; create the inner-items/child-menu-items

Hello everyone and @kongondo!

Can you please tell me how to create a dynamic menu using your module? Where URLs of pages are relative not to a whole site, but to every page where we use this menu.

Hi all,

Sorry, I have been away from this parts of the forums for a while.

@Clarity

I am not sure I follow. Please clarify, e.g. with an illustration.

Does this post perhaps offer a solution?

This is how I did it:

	$mb = $modules->get('MarkupMenuBuilder');
	$items = $mb->getMenuItems('Main', 2);

	foreach ($items as $item) :

		if ($item->isCurrent) :
			$currentID = $item->id;
			$parentID  = $item->parentID;
		endif;

	endforeach;

	$subItems = $items->find("parentID=$parentID");

	foreach ($subItems as $subItem) $output .= '<a href="'.$subItem->url.'">'.$subItem->title.'</a>';

Thanks for this example @Tyssen. Out of curiosity, how do you use $currentID subsequently?

after setting some of our PHP environments to 8.0, we registered an error on deleting menu items (ProcessWire 3.0.200, MenuBuilder 0.2.7, Multi-language):

method_exists(): Argument #1 ($object_or_class) must be of type object|string, null given in line 2602 in ProcessMenuBuilder.module. To prevent this, a check for item related page existence was successful:

if (!$itemID || !$pages->get($itemID)->id) continue;

Could you publish a bug fix release für this issue, please?

@xportde. Thanks for catching this. I'll work on it, hopefully soon. I am (very) slowly moving all my modules to require at least PHP 8.x. Thanks!

As you can see it is "ignoring" anything that isn't a custom url

@Greg Lumley,

Just to be clear, did menuRender() used to work in an older site but isn't working in a newer site? If yes, what is the difference between those sites in relation to:

ProcessWire versions? <-- I suspect the issue is here perhpaps.
PHP versions?

Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately I can find what is the problem. I don't think it's related to my templates, since it didn't work even in Tracy. In my previous project, the same code render correctly a menu.
Same PHP version 7.2 (localhost) but different versions PW (3.0.206 vs 3.0.188).
