alright, I fixed it. apparently in old versions of layout.html the =MENU()
is used to create the html menu from response.menu. that code has been
updated at some web2py version and changed to:
{{for _item in response.menu or []:}}
{{if len(_item)<4 or not _item[3]:}}
<li class="nav-item {{if _item[1]:}}active{{pass}}">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{=_item[2]}}">{{=_item[0]}}</a>
</li>
{{else:}}
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="{{=_item[2]}}"
data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded="false">{{=_item[0]}}</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu">
{{for _subitem in _item[3]:}}
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{=_subitem[2]}}">{{=_subitem[0
]}}</a>
{{pass}}
</div>
</li>
{{pass}}
{{pass}}
thanx to Anthony, I rewrote the above code to allow for the insertion
divider/separator in the response.menu to:
{{for _item in response.menu or []:}}
{{if len(_item)<4 or not _item[3]:}}
<li class="nav-item {{if _item[1]:}}active{{pass}}">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{=_item[2]}}">{{=_item[0]}}</a>
</li>
{{else:}}
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="{{=_item[2]}}"
data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded="false">{{=_item[0]}}</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu">
{{for _subitem in _item[3]:
if (len(_subitem) > 2):
=A(_subitem[0], _href=_subitem[2], _class=
"dropdown-item")
else:
=_subitem
pass
pass}}
</div>
</li>
{{pass}}
{{pass}}
in which case, the response.menu now looks like:
response.menu = [
[T('Lectures'), False, None, []],
[T('Students'), False, URL('main', 'students'), []],
[T('Professors'), False, URL('main', 'professors'), []],
[T('Blog'), False, URL('default', 'blog')],
[T('News'), False, URL('default', 'news')]
]
if auth.is_logged_in():
response.menu[1][0] = T('Student')
response.menu[1][3] = [
(T('Dashboard'), False, URL('main', 'students')),
DIV(_class="dropdown-divider"),
(T('Assessments'), False, None),
(T('History'), False, None),
(T('Join a Class'), False, None)
]
where the DIV is added with the class to style it nicely, in which in my
css file I added:
div.dropdown-menu div.dropdown-divider { width: 100%; height: 4px; margin:
3px 0px; background-color: #f0c36d; }
and it works perfectly and looks beautifully. thanx to mweissen his
suggestion, it worked pretty well also.
qed, lucas
