6
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
7
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
8
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
9
+
10
+ Preamble
11
+
12
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
13
+ freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
14
+ License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
15
+ software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
16
+ General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
17
+ Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
18
+ using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
19
+ the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
20
+ your programs, too.
21
+
22
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
23
+ price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
24
+ have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
25
+ this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
26
+ if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
27
+ in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
28
+
29
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
30
+ anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
31
+ These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
32
+ distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
33
+
34
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
35
+ gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
36
+ you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
37
+ source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
38
+ rights.
39
+
40
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
41
+ (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
42
+ distribute and/or modify the software.
43
+
44
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
45
+ that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
46
+ software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
47
+ want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
48
+ that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
49
+ authors' reputations.
50
+
51
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
52
+ patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
53
+ program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
54
+ program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
55
+ patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
56
+
57
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
58
+ modification follow.
59
+
60
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
61
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
62
+
63
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
64
+ a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
65
+ under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
66
+ refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
67
+ means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
68
+ that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
69
+ either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
70
+ language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
71
+ the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
72
+
73
+ Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
74
+ covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
75
+ running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
76
+ is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
77
+ Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
78
+ Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
79
+
80
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
81
+ source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
82
+ conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
83
+ copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
84
+ notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
85
+ and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
86
+ along with the Program.
87
+
88
+ You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
89
+ you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
90
+
91
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
92
+ of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
93
+ distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
94
+ above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
95
+
96
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
97
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
98
+
99
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
100
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
101
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
102
+ parties under the terms of this License.
103
+
104
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
105
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
106
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
107
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
108
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
109
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
110
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
111
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
112
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
113
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
114
+
115
+ These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
116
+ identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
117
+ and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
118
+ themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
119
+ sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
120
+ distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
121
+ on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
122
+ this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
123
+ entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
124
+
125
+ Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
126
+ your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
127
+ exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
128
+ collective works based on the Program.
129
+
130
+ In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
131
+ with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
132
+ a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
133
+ the scope of this License.
134
+
135
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
136
+ under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
137
+ Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
138
+
139
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
140
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
141
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
142
+
143
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
144
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
145
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
146
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
147
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
148
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
149
+
150
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
151
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
152
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
153
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
154
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
155
+
156
+ The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
157
+ making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
158
+ code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
159
+ associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
160
+ control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
161
+ special exception, the source code distributed need not include
162
+ anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
163
+ form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
164
+ operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
165
+ itself accompanies the executable.
166
+
167
+ If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
168
+ access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
169
+ access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
170
+ distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
171
+ compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
172
+
173
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
174
+ except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
175
+ otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
176
+ void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
177
+ However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
178
+ this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
179
+ parties remain in full compliance.
180
+
181
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
182
+ signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
183
+ distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
184
+ prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
185
+ modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
186
+ Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
187
+ all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
188
+ the Program or works based on it.
189
+
190
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
191
+ Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
192
+ original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
193
+ these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
194
+ restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
195
+ You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
196
+ this License.
197
+
198
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
199
+ infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
200
+ conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
201
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
202
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
203
+ distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
204
+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
205
+ may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
206
+ license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
207
+ all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
208
+ the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
209
+ refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
210
+
211
+ If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
212
+ any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
213
+ apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
214
+ circumstances.
215
+
216
+ It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
217
+ patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
218
+ such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
219
+ integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
220
+ implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
221
+ generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
222
+ through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
223
+ system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
224
+ to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
225
+ impose that choice.
226
+
227
+ This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
228
+ be a consequence of the rest of this License.
229
+
230
+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
231
+ certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
232
+ original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
233
+ may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
234
+ those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
235
+ countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
236
+ the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
237
+
238
+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
239
+ of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
240
+ be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
241
+ address new problems or concerns.
242
+
243
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
244
+ specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
245
+ later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
246
+ either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
247
+ Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
248
+ this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
249
+ Foundation.
250
+
251
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
252
+ programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
253
+ to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
254
+ Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
255
+ make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
256
+ of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
257
+ of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
258
+
259
+ NO WARRANTY
260
+
261
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
262
+ FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
263
+ OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
264
+ PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
265
+ OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
266
+ MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
267
+ TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
268
+ PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
269
+ REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
270
+
271
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
272
+ WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
273
+ REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
274
+ INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
275
+ OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
276
+ TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
277
+ YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
278
+ PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
279
+ POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
280
+
281
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
282
+
283
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
284
+
285
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
286
+ possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
287
+ free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
288
+
289
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
290
+ to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
291
+ convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
292
+ the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
293

310
+
311
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
312
+
313
+ If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
314
+ when it starts in an interactive mode:
315
+
316
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
317

318

320
+
321
+ The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate

323
+ be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
324
+ mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
325
+
326
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
327
+ school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
328
+ necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

336
+ This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
337

338
+ consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
339
+ library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
340
+ Public License instead of this License.

3
+ This gem is provided as is.
4
+
5
+ This gem allows for the ease of navigation building, from preset lists, from active model databases (eg, categories), from yaml files; but it's not just
6
+ for the ease of use it's also that you can have multiple navigation menus for differant controllers, or the same menu for differant controllers.
7
+ However you want it, it's up to you.
8
+
9
+ This gem was built with Rails in mind.
10
+
11
+
12
+ lastly the gem is up on rubygems.org
13
+
14
+ ==Setup
15
+ in the Application controller you have to <tt> include NavGateHelpers </tt> first.
16
+
17
+ ===For Rails
18
+ You next have to add a before_filter and helper method to the application controller
19
+
20
+ Just add:
21
+ helper_method :render_navigation
22
+ before_filter :make_menu
23
+
24
+ To your list of filters and helper methods in the application controller, thats it, you can now use the helper method and the gem to build your navigations.
25
+ ==For non Rails
26
+ For non rails version of NavGATE the helpers change, instead they work like so:
27
+
28
+ make_menu(selection, controller)
29
+
30
+ render_navigation(selection, controller, options = nil)
31
+
32
+ You have to pass the controller (or page it matches) and the current selection,
33
+ in rails they would pass automatically as <tt> params[:controller] </tt> and <tt> params[:selection] </tt> respectively (selection being the currently selected nav item).
34
+
35
+ ==Building the menus
36
+
37
+ When building the menu there are multiple options available, building the menu is done in an initializer file in the configs directory.
38
+
39
+ There are several options you can pass through, if you are building the menu with the object builder directly then two options must be present, those being 'selection' and 'controller', the rest are optional.
40
+
41
+ Also note, you can pass multiple Navgate::builders as you need, just match them to there controllers and they should render properly.
42
+ ===Options
43
+
44
+ <b>selection</b>: This is used to build the menu options.
45
+ There are two ways to use this, the first is to use an array of strings containing the menu options a person can select; the second is to pull from a database table, to do this pass a hash with the key being the name of the model and it's value being the field containing it's name
46
+
47
+ <b>Default</b>: This is used to give the menu a default selection for when the user has not selected anything. Pass a string containing the name of the default selection, if no string is passed then the first item from selection is used.
48
+
49
+ <b>prefix</b>: This is used when you have a prefix before the target in the URL, eg: if your links render out as "host.com/books" without a prefix; with a prefix of 'shelf' it will render out as "host.com/shelf/books". Namespacing is ignored within this gem, it only looks at the controller's name and nothing else when controller matching.
50
+
51
+ <b>controller</b>: This is used to match the menu to a controller, when deciding which menu to render, it can also be an array of strings; it matches this attribute to the current controller.
52
+
53
+ <b>by_id</b>: This is used when you are using a database model to build the menu and you want to link with IDs rather then the selection list. To use it simply set it to true.
54
+
55
+ <b>css_class</b>: This is used when you want to hard code the CSS class selector into the menu rather then from the view.
56
+
57
+ <b>css_selected</b>: the css override for the selected that's currently selected. if no override is passed then the link is simply not rendered out, as with css_class it overrides the one passed in the view, but only for the selected link
58
+
59
+ examples:
60
+
61
+ ===Building menu object from scratch
62
+ The default option doesn't have to be the first in the selection list.
63
+ NAVGATE = Navgate.new do |build|
64
+ build.navs = [ Navgate::Builder.new do |options|
65
+ options[:selection] = %w(selection site_settings users images misc)
66
+ options[:default] = 'users'
67
+ options[:prefix] = = 'admin'
68
+ options[:controller] = 'admin_panel'
69
+ options[:css_class] = 'nav button'
70
+ end
71
+ ]
72
+ end
73
+
74
+ ===Building menu object from database fields
75
+ Be sure to pass it as {model_name: :field}.
76
+ Also note you can pass an array of controllers as well as just a string of one controller which in this case is done via a split command, %w() also works
77
+
78
+ NAVGATE = Navgate.new do |build|
79
+ build.navs = [ Navgate::Builder.new do |options|
80
+ options[:selection] = {categories: :title }
81
+ options[:prefix] = 'shop_category'
82
+ options[:controller] = "front_page side_page about_page".split(" ")
83
+ options[:by_id] = true
84
+ end
85
+ ]
86
+ end
87
+ ===Building multiple menus
88
+
89
+ NAVGATE = Navgate.new do |build|
90
+ build.navs = [
91
+ Navgate::Builder.new do |options|
92
+ options[:selection] = %w(selection site_settings users images misc)
93
+ options[:default] = 'users'
94
+ options[:prefix] = = 'admin'
95
+ options[:controller] = 'admin_panel'
96
+ options[:css_class] = 'nav button'
97
+ end,
98
+ Navgate::Builder.new do |options|
99
+ options[:selection] = %w(welcome about_us gallery news)
100
+ options[:default] = 'news'
101
+ options[:controller] = 'front_page'
102
+ options[:css_class] = 'nav button'
103
+ end
104
+ ]
105
+ end
106
+
107
+ === Using a yml file to build the menu
108
+ There is also a third option to build the menu, you can use a structured yml file, there is an example yaml file in the config directory called "build_menu.yml".
109
+ when using this method you are unable to use a database model to create the menu.
110
+
111
+ ===Building from yaml file,
112
+ Initializing the object:
113
+ NAVGATE = Navgate.new do |build|
114
+ build.navs = "#{Rails.root}/config/build_menu.yml"
115
+ end
116
+ The yaml file:
117
+ nav_1:
118
+ selection: welcome about_us gallery
119
+ default: welcome
120
+ prefix: main
121
+ controller: front_page
122
+ nav_2:
123
+ selection: settings users misc
124
+ default: settings
125
+ preix: back_end
126
+ controller: admin_panel
127
+
128
+
129
+ ==Ignoring Controllers
130
+ Sometimes you're going to want to ignore controllers that don't any gui. Doing that is simple, when you're building the menu just pass an Array to build like so
131
+ build.ignoring = ['controllers','to','ignore']
132
+ before or after you pass through the navs.
133
+
134
+ ==Rendering the menu
135
+
136
+ To render the menu use the provided helper <tt>render_navigation(options)</tt>;
137
+ options is a hash that is used to build any html options you might want such as
138
+ 'class='some_css_class', it can also take two extra options, 'styling:' and 'wrap:'.
139
+
140
+ ===Options
141
+
142
+ Styling: This is how the navigation can be styled, it can either be ':vertical’ or a character that you wish to use for spacing such as '|' or ':' and so on, it can only be vertical or a spacing character.
143
+
144
+ Wrap: This allows you to wrap each link in a html tag, wrap can itself take two differant options, either a string containing the tag's name (without "<>", only the tag name) or an Array containing the tag name and it's class.
145
+
146
+ example:
147
+ render_navigation({:class => "'nav button'", styling: :vertical, wrap: ['li','test']}) %>
148
+
149
+ note: There is no point in passing a class here if you have one set when you first build the menu, it will just be overridden,
150
+ unless of course you're using multiple menus and some of them don't have css overides then they will take this option up.
151
+
152
+ ==Using the selection to automatically render a matching partial
153
+
154
+ naveGATE is set up so you can use it to render out a partial using <tt>@selected</tt>, to do this you have to pass a route param of <tt>:selection</tt>
155
+ in the route, then you can use <tt><%= render @selected %></tt> to automatically select either the default selection or the current selection.
156
+
157
+ That said you don't have use this feature, it will still route to whatever url you set up as a normal url, but <tt>@selected</tt> won't work without <tt>:selection</tt>
158
+ example:
159
+
160
+ routes.rb
161
+ get "/:selection", to: "front_page#index"
162
+ root to: "front_page#index"
163
+
164
+ front_page/index.html.erb
165
+ <%= render @selected %>
166
+
167
+ resulting url
168
+ host.com/books
169
+ host.com/games
170
+
171
+ routes to the root but the partials rendered would be respectively
172
+ _books.html.erb
173
+ _games.html.erb
174
