Zend Framework: Navigation XML and duplicate page elements
- by jakenoble
Hi
In XML I'd normal expect the following to be perfectly valid and navigable in a meaningful way using something like PHP's DomDocument:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configdata>
<page>
<name>Home</name>
</page>
<page>
<name>Log in</name>
</page>
</configdata>
This is not the case when using Zend_Navigation. Each <page> element needs to have a unique name, so you would need to do:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configdata>
<page_home>
<name>Home</name>
</page_home>
<page_log_in>
<name>Log in</name>
</page_log_in>
</configdata>
This works, but is very annoying. I'd much rather have multiple page elements which can have the same name and can be easily copy and pasted when creating many pages for navigation.
Why does each one need a unique name?
Is there a way of not having to have a unique name?
