Re: [nesta] Menu is not working on my Nesta CMS on Rails3 integration

From:

Done as suggested :
my config/initializers/nesta.rb is like the following :

require "nesta/env"
Nesta::Env.root = ::File.expand_path("../../nesta-blog", File.dirname(__FILE__))
require "nesta/app"

... and nothing changes.
But I think anyway, the issue is something to look into the following snippets :

lsoave@ubuntu:~/rails/github/gitwatcher$ find
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/ -exec grep
"'/'" {} \; -print
      Nesta::Page.find_by_path('/').title.should == 'Home - My blog'
      Nesta::Page.find_by_path('/').title.should == 'Specific title'
      Nesta::Page.find_by_path('/').title.should == 'My blog'
      Nesta::Page.find_by_path('/').permalink.should == ''
      Nesta::Page.find_by_path('/').abspath.should == '/'
    Nesta::Menu.for_path('/').should == [@page]
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/spec/models_spec.rb
    get '/'
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/spec/page_spec.rb
          name = (path.empty? || path == "/") ? "index" :
Rack::Utils.unescape(path.sub(/^(\/)/,'').chomp('/'))
          name << options.cache_page_extension unless
(name.split('/').last || name).include? '.'
          cache_dir = cache_dir[0..-2] if cache_dir[-1,1] == '/'
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/lib/nesta/cache.rb
        @menu_items = Nesta::Menu.for_path('/')
        text.gsub!(/(<a href=['"])\//, '\1' + base_url + '/')
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/lib/nesta/app.rb
      elsif abspath == '/'
      if abspath == '/'
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/lib/nesta/models.rb
        (page.abspath == '/') ? 'Home' : page.heading
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/lib/nesta/navigation.rb
lsoave@ubuntu:~/rails/github/gitwatcher$

... and also :

lsoave@ubuntu:~/rails/github/gitwatcher$ find
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10 -exec grep
"base_url" {} \; -print
        File.join(base_url, page.path)
      def base_url
        text.gsub!(/(<a href=['"])\//, '\1' + base_url + '/')
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/lib/nesta/app.rb
    %loc= base_url
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/views/sitemap.haml
  %link(href="#{base_url}/articles.xml" rel='self')
  %link(href=base_url rel='alternate')
/home/lsoave/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/nesta-0.9.10/views/atom.haml
lsoave@ubuntu:~/rails/github/gitwatcher$


What do you say ?

Thanks

I have a strong suspicion that Nesta's menus don't cope too well when 
Nesta is mounted at a path other than "/". It's a bug. I'll file one.

This may not help at all, but have you considered mounting Nesta at "/" 
and then creating a blog subfolder inside content/pages? It may allow you 
to work around it before we get it fixed...

What about subdomain ?  Could something like
"http://blog.example.com/" works as well ?

In case of yes, how can be configured that ?

Thanks in advance

You can't link to other domains from menu.txt, no.

You could just write the HTML (Haml) for your menu by hand. All the helper
function really does is output a <ul> tag with some links in it. You could
make a views/menu.haml partial and write the relevant HTML in there. If 
you're currently using a theme just copy all the .haml files in the theme 
into a views/ folder in your site and then edit the file that calls 
display_menu() so that it renders your menu template instead.
