Navigation

The Navigation widgets works pretty much like the Tabnav but generates navigation links instead of tabs.

How to generate a Tabnav

Let’s generate a main tabbed navigation for our site (I’ll call it main, you can call it what you want)

$ script/generate navigation main
      create  app/views/widgets
      create  app/views/widgets/_main_navigation.html.erb

It creates a partial with the navigation definition.
Now we can insert the navigation wherever we want, I’ll put it in my app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.

...
  <%= navigation :main %>	
  <%= yield %>
  ...

Reload your pages, you should see top right navigation links.
Now you can edit the app/views/widgets/_main_navigation.html.erb partial:

...
  add_item do |i
    i.named "home"
    i.links_to :controller => "invoices"
  end
  ...
  add_item :link => "http://www.seesaw.it"
