a&m nav

Navigations in Craft, made easy

Functionality

In the plugin’s settings you can adjust the plugin’s name for your customers and disable adding, editing and deleting navigations for non-admins.

The navigations overview.
If you disabled the Can add, edit and delete setting in the plugin’s settings, non-admins will only see the created navigations and the link to start building their navigation.

When you create or edit a navigation, you can set the following settings:

Setting	Explanation
Max Levels	The maximum number of levels this navigation can have. Leave blank if you don’t care.
Can move from level	Whether non-admins can move nodes from a specific level. Leave blank if you don’t care.
Can delete from level	Whether non-admins can delete nodes from a specific level. Leave blank if you don’t care.

Let’s start building a navigation!
Non-admins don’t see the Display navigation section. This is for admins only so they know what to put in the templates.
You have the option to add existing entries, categories, assets or…

… add your own URLs.

When you have saved your nodes in the navigation, you can edit them later by double clicking on the node, or use the setting button behind the node when you hover over a node.

Variables

You have two ways to fetch your navigation. You can get an array with your added nodes, or let a&m nav create the HTML for you.

{% set nav = craft.amNav.getNavRaw("yourNavigationHandle") %}

or

{{ craft.amNav.getNav("yourNavigationHandle") }}

Build the way you like it

Now you can add your own HTML if necessary!

{% set nav = craft.amNav.getNavRaw("yourNavigationHandle") %}

{% macro addNodeToNavigation(node, index) %}
    {%- set nodeClasses = [] -%}
    {%- if node.hasChildren -%}
        {%- set nodeClasses = nodeClasses|merge(['has-children']) -%}
    {%- endif -%}
    {%- if node.active or node.hasActiveChild -%}
        {%- set nodeClasses = nodeClasses|merge(['active']) -%}
    {%- endif -%}
    {%- if node.level == 1 and index == 1 -%}
        {%- set nodeClasses = nodeClasses|merge(['first']) -%}
    {%- endif -%}
    {%- if node.listClass|length -%}
        {%- set nodeClasses = nodeClasses|merge([node.listClass]) -%}
    {%- endif -%}

    <li{% if nodeClasses|length %} class="{{ nodeClasses|join(' ') }}"{% endif %}>
        <a href="{{ node.url }}" title="{{ node.name }}"{% if node.blank %} target="_blank"{% endif %}>{{ node.name }}</a>
        {% if node.hasChildren %}
            <ul class="nav__level{{ (node.level + 1) }}">
                {% for subnode in node.children %}
                    {{ _self.addNodeToNavigation(subnode, loop.index) }}
                {% endfor %}
            </ul>
        {% endif %}
    </li>
{% endmacro %}

<nav class="navmain">
    <ul class="nav">
        {% for node in nav %}
            {{ _self.addNodeToNavigation(node, loop.index) }}
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
</nav>
