Is there a way to manage the navigation bar?

[karimmtarek]

Currently the pages are added to the navigation based on when it was publish.

• Is there a way to decide which pages can be displayed?
• Is there a way to re-order the navigation links?

there is a way :)

create navigation, give it some handle, add pages and reorder them:

inside app you can get that navigation by handle

main_navigation = Storytime::Navigation.find_by(handle: "main")

and then just render it:

render main_navigation

i have helper method that renders main navigation if it exists and all the pages in other case, also added admin page link if current user is admin

def render_main_menu
    main_navigation = Storytime::Navigation.find_by(handle: "main")
    menu_html = if main_navigation
      render main_navigation
    else
      Storytime::Page.published.collect do |page|
        content_tag :li do
          link_to page.title, storytime.page_path(page)
        end
      end
    end
    if current_user&.admin?
      menu_html << content_tag(:li) do
        link_to t('defaults.admin'), storytime_admin_path
      end
    end
    menu_html.html_safe
  end

feel free to use it :)

i think that would be nice to include helper method like this to the core @bcroesch ?

in User model i have:

  def roles
    storytime_roles
  end

  def admin?
    roles.pluck(:name).include? ('admin')
  end
