gem 'spree_essential_menus', :git => 'git://github.com/matfiz/spree_essential_menus.git'

rails g spree_essential_menus:install

You are ready to play!

Usage

The SpreeEssentialMenus extension adds a subtab Menus to spree_essential tab (usually Static content, depending on you translation). You should first create Menu bars that you need for your shop (usually main menu and footer menu, but can be infinitely many). Then in every menu bar, you can create as many menu elements as you want to. You can either manually type the path (it can be both relative or absolute, but in case of aboulute path remember to start with "http://") or you can select a static page created in citrus/spree_essential_cms, that the menu element should point to. In this case, the path will be filled in automatically.

How to reorganize menu elements?

The menu elements can be easily reorganized by drag&drop functionality - just click on green arrows left to the element's name and drag it where you want to.

Example

When you create Menu bars, you can easily embedd them in your layout by the partial, like below (written in HAML):

%header
  %nav
    - @menu_bar = Spree::MenuBar.find_by_name("main_menu")
    = render :partial => "spree/shared/render_menu", :locals => {:menu_bar => @menu_bar}

Testing

So far there are no tests for this extension - I will be thankful for any help you can give me with that!

Be sure to bundle your dependencies and then create a dummy test app for the specs to run against.

$ bundle
$ bundle exec rake test_app
$ bundle exec rspec spec
