Overview
Enabling Navigation Categories in Top Navbar
In this video, I walk you through the process of enabling categories in the top navigation bar of a website.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a functional and dynamic navbar that displays categories like movie genres and game genres. In this tutorial, we tackled the problem of an unresponsive navigation bar and missing logo by first addressing the missing global variable, site URL. We then proceeded to dynamically generate categories for the navigation bar using a for loop, replacing static snippets with dynamic content. We added primary links and ensured they redirect users to the correct pages. Finally, we encapsulated the navigation bar and footer into reusable components using the include feature. This structured approach not only fixes the issues but also optimizes the code for better maintainability.
Summary
- Addressing Initial Issues: We started by fixing the missing
site URLglobal variable to ensure the JavaScript functions properly, enabling dropdown menus in the navigation bar. - Dynamic Category Generation: By implementing a
for loop, I showed how to dynamically generate movie and game genres in the navbar, ensuring they pull the correct data from the database. - Primary Link Integration: We added primary links to the navigation bar, making sure each link directs users to the correct page by using
URLtags. - Reusable Navbar and Footer: I demonstrated how to turn the navigation bar and footer into reusable components using the include feature, which allows these elements to be easily managed and reused across different pages.
- Ensuring Updates: We wrapped up by emphasizing the importance of constantly checking for updates and changes to the document, ensuring the site stays up-to-date and functional.
Highlights
📝 Dynamic Content: I demonstrated how to replace static list items with dynamic content using a for loop to pull categories from a database.
🔗 URL Integration: We integrated primary links into the navigation bar, ensuring they redirect users to appropriate templates.
🔄 Reusable Components: By turning the navbar and footer into includes, I showed how to make the code more maintainable and reusable.
