Views can be extended multiple times, and extensions are not checked for uniqueness. Use elgg_unextend_view() to help manage duplicates.

Priority can be specified and affects the order in which extensions are appended or prepended.

default Primary template with one, two or no sidebars
admin Admin page template
error Error page template
widgets Widgets canvas

Plugins can create and use custom layouts by placing a layout view in "page/layouts/<layout_name>" and calling elgg_view_layout(<layout_name>).

For a full list of parameters supported by each of these layouts see corresponding layout views.

Parameters

string	$layout_name	Layout name Corresponds to a view in "page/layouts/<layout_name>".
array	$vars	Layout parameters An associative array of parameters to pass to the layout events and views. Route 'identifier' and 'segments' of the page being rendered will be added to this array automatially, allowing plugins to alter layout views and subviews based on the current route.

elgg_view_menu	(		$menu,
		array	$vars = `[]`
	)

Render a menu.

See also: elgg_register_menu_item() for documentation on adding menu items and navigation.php for information on the different menus available.

This function triggers a 'register', 'menu:<menu name>="">' event that enables plugins to add menu items just before a menu is rendered. This is used by dynamic menus (menus that change based on some input such as the user hover menu). Using elgg_register_menu_item() in response to the event can cause incorrect links to show up. See the blog plugin's blog_owner_block_menu() for an example of using this event.

An additional event is the 'prepare', 'menu:<menu name>="">' which enables plugins to modify the structure of the menu (sort it, remove items, set variables on the menu items).

Preset (unprepared) menu items passed to the this function with the $vars argument, will be merged with the registered items (registered with elgg_register_menu_item()). The combined set of menu items will be passed to 'register', 'menu:<menu_name>' event.

Plugins that pass preset menu items to this function and do not wish to be affected by events (e.g. if you are displaying multiple menus with the same name on the page) should instead choose a unqie menu name and define a menu_view argument to render menus consistently. For example, if you have multiple 'filter' menus on the page: elgg_view_menu("filter:$uid", [ 'items' => $items, 'menu_view' => 'navigation/menu/filter', ]);

elgg_view_menu() uses views in navigation/menu

Commonly used menu vars: items => (array) an array of unprepared menu items as ElggMenuItem or menu item factory options sort_by => (string) or php callback string options: 'name', 'priority' (default), 'text' or a php callback (a compare function for usort) handler => (string) the page handler to build action URLs entity => () entity to use to build action URLs class => (string) the class for the entire menu menu_view => (string) name of the view to be used to render the menu show_section_headers => (bool) show headers before menu sections selected_item_name => (string) the menu item name to be selected prepare_vertical => (bool) prepares the menu items for vertical display (default false) prepare_dropdown => (bool) will put all menu items (section=default) behind a dropdown (default false) item_contents_view => (string) the view to use for the output of the menu item contents (default: 'navigation/menu/elements/item/url')

Parameters

string \| Menu \| UnpreparedMenu	$menu	Menu name (or object)
array	$vars	An associative array of display options for the menu.

Returns: string
