Package | zii.widgets |

Inheritance | class CBreadcrumbs » CWidget » CBaseController » CComponent |
Since | 1.1 |
Source Code | framework/zii/widgets/CBreadcrumbs.php |
For example, breadcrumbs like "Home > Sample Post > Edit" means the user is viewing an edit page for the "Sample Post". He can click on "Sample Post" to view that page, or he can click on "Home" to return to the homepage.
To use CBreadcrumbs, one usually needs to configure its links property, which specifies the links to be displayed. For example,
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CBreadcrumbs', array( 'links'=>array( 'Sample post'=>array('post/view', 'id'=>12), 'Edit', ), ));
Because breadcrumbs usually appears in nearly every page of a website, the widget is better to be placed in a layout view. One can define a property "breadcrumbs" in the base controller class and assign it to the widget in the layout, like the following:
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CBreadcrumbs', array( 'links'=>$this->breadcrumbs, ));
Then, in each view script, one only needs to assign the "breadcrumbs" property as needed.

Property Details
activeLinkTemplate property (available since v1.1.11)
public string $activeLinkTemplate;
String, specifies how each active item is rendered. Defaults to "{label}", where "{label}" will be replaced by the corresponding item label while "{url}" will be replaced by the URL of the item.
encodeLabel property
public boolean $encodeLabel;
whether to HTML encode the link labels. Defaults to true.
homeLink property
public string $homeLink;
the first hyperlink in the breadcrumbs (called home link). If this property is not set, it defaults to a link pointing to CWebApplication::homeUrl with label 'Home'. If this property is false, the home link will not be rendered.
htmlOptions property
public array $htmlOptions;
the HTML attributes for the breadcrumbs container tag.
inactiveLinkTemplate property (available since v1.1.11)
public string $inactiveLinkTemplate;
String, specifies how each inactive item is rendered. Defaults to "{label}", where "{label}" will be replaced by the corresponding item label. Note that inactive template does not have "{url}" parameter.
links property
public array $links;
list of hyperlinks to appear in the breadcrumbs. If this property is empty, the widget will not render anything. Each key-value pair in the array will be used to generate a hyperlink by calling CHtml::link(key, value). For this reason, the key refers to the label of the link while the value can be a string or an array (used to create a URL). For more details, please refer to CHtml::link. If an element's key is an integer, it means the element will be rendered as a label only (meaning the current page).
The following example will generate breadcrumbs as "Home > Sample post > Edit", where "Home" points to the homepage, "Sample post" points to the "index.php?r=post/view&id=12" page, and "Edit" is a label. Note that the "Home" link is specified via homeLink separately.
array( 'Sample post'=>array('post/view', 'id'=>12), 'Edit', )
separator property
public string $separator;
the separator between links in the breadcrumbs. Defaults to ' » '.
tagName property
public string $tagName;
the tag name for the breadcrumbs container tag. Defaults to 'div'.
Method Details
run() method
public void run() |
public function run()
{
if(empty($this->links))
return;
$definedLinks = $this->links;
echo CHtml::openTag($this->tagName,$this->htmlOptions)."\n";
$links=array();
if($this->homeLink===null)
$definedLinks=array(Yii::t('zii','Home') => Yii::app()->homeUrl)+$definedLinks;
elseif($this->homeLink!==false)
$links[]=$this->homeLink;
foreach($definedLinks as $label=>$url)
{
if(is_string($label) || is_array($url))
$links[]=strtr($this->activeLinkTemplate,array(
'{url}'=>CHtml::normalizeUrl($url),
'{label}'=>$this->encodeLabel ? CHtml::encode($label) : $label,
));
else
$links[]=str_replace('{label}',$this->encodeLabel ? CHtml::encode($url) : $url,$this->inactiveLinkTemplate);
}
echo implode($this->separator,$links);
echo CHtml::closeTag($this->tagName);
}
Renders the content of the portlet.
