Hey Guys.
I'm looking to modify the code from https://www.interactivetools.com/forum/forum-posts.php?postNum=2234657 to use bootstrap4 navbar. Can you help?
Referring to https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar/ we can simply use
<?php foreach ($categories as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>" class="nav-item nav-link"> <?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?> </a>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?><?php endforeach; ?>
However, if that item has a child, we need to;
- Add the dropdown class to the list item
- Add the dropdown-toggle class and the data-toggle to the link
- Wrap the 2nd level items in a div: <div class="dropdown-menu">... </div>
- Have all of the 2nd level items as <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">...</a>
So the final output is something like
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Top Level</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Top Level</a></li><li class="nav-item dropdown"><a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" data-toggle="dropdown">Top Level with Child</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Second Level</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Second Level</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Second Level</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Top Level</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Top Level</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Hey Tim,
I wanted to follow up and check if you got this sorted out?
With categories or any records returned from CMSB you can see all the available fields using our showme() function like so:
<?phg showme($categories); ?>
There are pseudo-field called _hasChild and _hasParent you can check for children and parents. eg:
<?php if ($categoryRecord['_hasChild']): ?>
...
<?php endif; ?>
If you need more help with it feel free to email me direct with a link to a sample page. It's easier to work on live code.
Hope that helps!
