Zend_Navigation overwrite with array?

Question

Hello,

I currently use zend_navigation via an XML file.

However I need to overwrite the previous breadcrumb to be its dynamic parent, in the controller.

Is this possible? It seems to me that zend_navigation is fairly static and the zend documentation keeps timing out.

Thanks

Yes you can use an array.

What you should do really is create your array and then input it into the factory of the Zend_Navigation to create your pages for you.

Unfortunately my code is too complicated to show an example of how I used it. But I'll provide a simple example...

Once you create your navigation container, you can just add new pages to it.

Like

$this->navigation()->addPage(array(
   'type' => 'uri',
   'label' => 'New page'));

But you can also use addPages(). This is what I do.

I think you should just wait for the documentation to load back up for you and then look at that. Its really easy in fact.

When you have a more specific question, just ask that and give me a poke. I've had to use Navigation quite a lot so know it quite well.

Additionally, check out #zftalk on freenode. Theres lots of help on there.

I have put:

    public function addAction() {

        $this->view->navigation()->addPage(array(
            'type' => 'uri',
            'label' => 'New page')
        );

in my controller but no crumbbar shows up for that page.

Any ideas? $this->navigation() threw a

Method "navigation" does not exist and was not trapped in __call() 

Also of note that my crumbBar is in my layout and not individual views.
