Adding additional nav menus in Sage

[strangeways]

Hello ladies and gents,

I’ve been trying to troubleshoot such a simple task before moving to blade but now I am feeling the learning curve of adapting to blade templates so I’m seeking your help in overcoming the hump.

I’m trying to create additional menus like so:

In setup.php I have:

register_nav_menus( array(
    'primary_navigation' => __('Primary Navigation', 'sage'),
    'about_navigation' => __('About Navigation', 'sage'),
    'company_navigation' => __('Company Navigation', 'sage'),
    'shop_navigation' => __('Shop Navigation', 'sage'),
    'social_navigation' => __('Social Navigation', 'sage'),
) );

Within App.php I have:

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use Sober\Controller\Controller;

class App extends Controller
{
    public function siteName()
    {
        return get_bloginfo('name');
    }
    public function primarymenu() {
        $args = array(
            'theme_location'    => 'primary_navigation',
            'menu'  =>  '',
            'container' => 'span',
            'container_class' => 'container_class',
            'container_id' => 'container_id',
            'menu_class' => 'navbar-nav u-header__navbar-nav',
            'menu_id' => 'menu_id',
        //   'echo' => '',
        //   'fallback_cb' => '',
            'before' => '',
            'after' => '',
            'link_before' => '',
            'link_after' => '<span class="fa fa-angle-right u-header__sub-menu-nav-link-icon"></span>',
            // 'items_wrap' => 'item_wrap',
        //   'depth' => '',
            'walker' => new \App\wp_bootstrap4_navwalker()
        );
        return $args;
    }
    public function aboutMenu() {
        $aboutMenuArgs = array(
            'theme_location'    => 'about_navigation',
            'menu'  =>  '',
            'container' => 'a',
            'container_class' => 'list-group-item list-group-item-action',
            'container_id' => 'container_id',
            'menu_class' => 'list-group list-group-flush list-group-transparent',
            'menu_id' => 'menu_id',
        //   'echo' => '',
        //   'fallback_cb' => '',
            'before' => '',
            'after' => '',
            'link_before' => '',
            'link_after' => '',
            // 'items_wrap' => 'item_wrap',
        //   'depth' => '',
            // 'walker' => ''
        );
        return $aboutMenuArgs;
    }
    public function companyMenu() {
        $args = array(
            'theme_location'    => 'company_navigation',
            'menu'  =>  '',
            'container' => 'a',
            'container_class' => 'list-group-item list-group-item-action',
            'container_id' => 'container_id',
            'menu_class' => 'list-group list-group-flush list-group-transparent',
            'menu_id' => 'menu_id',
        //   'echo' => '',
        //   'fallback_cb' => '',
            'before' => '',
            'after' => '',
            'link_before' => '',
            'link_after' => '',
            // 'items_wrap' => 'item_wrap',
        //   'depth' => '',
            // 'walker' => ''
        );
        return $args;
    }
    public function shopMenu() {
        $args = array(
            'theme_location'    => 'shop_navigation',
            'menu'  =>  '',
            'container' => 'a',
            'container_class' => 'list-group-item list-group-item-action',
            'container_id' => 'container_id',
            'menu_class' => 'list-group list-group-flush list-group-transparent',
            'menu_id' => 'menu_id',
        //   'echo' => '',
        //   'fallback_cb' => '',
            'before' => '',
            'after' => '',
            'link_before' => '',
            'link_after' => '',
            // 'items_wrap' => 'item_wrap',
        //   'depth' => '',
            // 'walker' => ''
        );
        return $args;
    }
    public function socialMenu() {
        $args = array(
            'theme_location'    => 'social_navigation',
            'menu'  =>  '',
            'container' => 'a',
            'container_class' => 'list-group-item list-group-item-action',
            'container_id' => 'container_id',
            'menu_class' => 'list-group list-group-flush list-group-transparent',
            'menu_id' => 'menu_id',
        //   'echo' => '',
        //   'fallback_cb' => '',
            'before' => '',
            'after' => '',
            'link_before' => '',
            'link_after' => '',
            // 'items_wrap' => 'item_wrap',
        //   'depth' => '',
            // 'walker' => ''
        );
        return $args;
    }
}
/**
 * Primary Nav Menu arguments
 * @return array
 */

And finally, within the *.blade.php file I’m calling the menus like so:

  @if (has_nav_menu('about_navigation'))
        {!! wp_nav_menu($aboutMenu) !!}
  @endif

Yet I end up with an error like this:

Thank you in advance. Andrew.

Change wp_nav_menu($aboutMenu) to wp_nav_menu($about_menu). Controller will turn your methods to variables (camel case to snake case)

[strangeways]

What a legend! That did it. Wish I would have posted earlier. I’m curious, how did you learn about this, is it covered in the documentation somewhere? Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

[codepuncher]

No problem. The Sage docs mention about the usage of Controller. Looking at the docs of Controller it explains the usage of methods and variables.

Not to sound like a shill but @ben’s book on Sage helped me out immensely. The docs are great but the book is totally worth the asking price imo.
