html helper: ul() - El Forum - 02-10-2008
[eluser]fdog[/eluser]
I want to generate an ul using the HTML helper. I need to add a class attribute to an li.
desired output:
Code:
<ul>
<li class="current_page_item">
<a href="#">home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">photos</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">about</a>
</li>
</ul>current controller:
Code:
$menu = array(
'home',
'photos',
'about',
);
$attributes = array(
'class' => 'current_page_item'
);Is there a way to pass $attributes to a li instead of the whole ul?

No, there's no way to add attributes to an li unfortunately.

I think it would be good to have this feature Derek, building dynamic menus is the only purpose I can personally find to the html list helper, so it would be good that we can pass to it some attributes.

I don't object to that at all. You want to take a stab at a revised ul() function?

Sorry, my english level do not permit me to understand the word "stab". Do you propose to me that I make this revised function?

I apologize for using slang. Yes, would you like to try making a revised function?

Ok, why not. I can't make that now but I will take a look at it tomorrow (for my local time it means in about 12 hours) Then I will post it here.

hmmm... Derek, looking at the code it seems already possible to pass attributes.
The ul function:
Code:
function ul($list, $attributes = '')
{
return _list('ul', $list, $attributes);
}The _list function parameters called by the ul function:
Code:
function _list($type = 'ul', $list, $attributes = '', $depth = 0)Can you confirm it please?

You can add them to the <ul>, but fdog's request was to have them added to the <li>.
