Run
composer require mimmi20/mezzio-navigation-laminasviewrenderer
Calling the view helper for menus in your layout script:
<!-- ... -->
<body>
<?= $this->navigation('default')->menu() ?>
</body>
<!-- ... -->
Once the mezzio-navigation module is registered, you can create as many navigation definitions as you wish, and the underlying factories will create navigation containers automatically.
Add the container definitions to your configuration file, e.g.
config/autoload/global.php
:
<?php
return [
// ...
'navigation' => [
// Navigation with name default
'default' => [
[
'label' => 'Home',
'route' => 'home',
],
[
'label' => 'Page #1',
'route' => 'page-1',
'pages' => [
[
'label' => 'Child #1',
'route' => 'page-1-child',
],
],
],
[
'label' => 'Page #2',
'route' => 'page-2',
],
],
// Navigation with name special
'special' => [
[
'label' => 'Special',
'route' => 'special',
],
[
'label' => 'Special Page #2',
'route' => 'special-2',
],
],
// Navigation with name sitemap
'sitemap' => [
[
'label' => 'Sitemap',
'route' => 'sitemap',
],
[
'label' => 'Sitemap Page #2',
'route' => 'sitemap-2',
],
],
],
// ...
];
There is one important point to know when using mezzio-navigation as a module: The name of the container in your view script must be prefixed with
Mezzio\Navigation\
, followed by the name of the configuration key. This helps ensure that no naming collisions occur with other services.
The following example demonstrates rendering the navigation menus for the named
default
, special
, and sitemap
containers.
<!-- ... -->
<body>
<?= $this->navigation('Mimmi20\Mezzio\Navigation\Default')->menu() ?>
<?= $this->navigation('Mimmi20\Navigation\Special')->menu() ?>
<?= $this->navigation('Mimmi20\Navigation\Sitemap')->menu() ?>
</body>
<!-- ... -->
The navigation helpers are used for rendering navigational elements from
Mimmi20\Mezzio\Navigation\Navigation
instances.
There are 5 built-in helpers:
- Breadcrumbs, used for rendering the path to the currently active page.
- Links, used for rendering navigational head links (e.g.
<link rel="next" href="..." />
). - Menu, used for rendering menus.
- Sitemap, used for rendering sitemaps conforming to the Sitemaps XML format.
- Navigation, used for proxying calls to other navigational helpers.
All built-in helpers implements the interface Mezzio\Navigation\LaminasView\View\Helper\Navigation\ViewHelperInterface
, which
adds integration with
laminas-acl or laminas-rbac and
laminas-i18n. This interface Mimmi20\Mezzio\Navigation\Helper\Navigation\HelperInterface
, which
defines the following methods:
Method signature | Description |
---|---|
getContainer() : null|ContainerInterface |
Retrieve the current navigation container, if any. |
hasContainer() : bool |
Is any navigation container currently registered? |
setContainer(ContainerInterface $container) : self |
Set a navigation container. |
getTranslator() : null|Laminas\I18n\Translator\TranslatorInterface |
Retrieve the current translator instance, if any. |
setTranslator(Laminas\I18n\Translator\TranslatorInterface ) : self` |
Set a translator instance to use with labels. |
hasTranslator() : bool |
Is a translator instance present? |
isTranslatorEnabled() : bool |
Should translation occur? To be true , both the flag enabling translation must be set, and a translator instance present. |
setTranslatorEnabled(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not translation should occur. |
getAcl() : null|Laminas\Permissions\Acl\AclInterface |
Retrieve the current ACL instance, if any. |
setAcl(Laminas\Permissions\Acl\AclInterface $acl) : self |
Set an ACL instance. |
hasAcl() : bool |
Whether or not an ACL instance is present. |
getRole() : null|string|\Laminas\Permissions\Acl\Role\RoleInterface |
Retrieve the current ACL role instance, if any. |
setRole(string|Laminas\Permissions\Acl\Role\RoleInterface $acl) : self |
Set an ACL role instance. |
hasRole() : bool |
Whether or not an ACL role instance is present. |
getUseAcl() : bool |
Whether or not to use ACLs; both the flag must be enabled and an ACL instance present. |
setUseAcl(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not to use ACLs. |
__toString() |
Cast the helper to a string value; relies on render() . |
render() |
Render the helper to a string. |
In addition to the method stubs from the interface, the abstract class also implements the following methods:
Method signature | Description |
---|---|
getIndent() : string |
Retrieve the indentation string to use; default is 4 spaces. |
setIndent(string|int $indent) : self |
Set the indentation to use. In the case of an integer, this indicates the number of spaces. Indentation can be specified for all but the Sitemap helper. |
getMinDepth() : int |
Retrieve the minimum depth a page must have to be included in output |
setMinDepth(null|int $depth) : self |
Set the minimum depth a page must have to be included in output; null means no minimum. |
getMaxDepth() : int |
Retrieve the maximum depth a page must have to be included in output |
setMaxDepth(null|int $depth) : self |
Set the maximum depth a page must have to be included in output; null means no maximum. |
getRenderInvisible() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not to render items marked as invisible; defaults to false . |
setRenderInvisible(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not to render items marked as invisible. |
__call() : mixed |
Proxy method calls to the registered container; this allows you to use the helper as if it were a navigation container. See the example below. |
findActive(/* ... */) : array |
Find the deepest active page in the container, using the arguments ContainerInterface $container, int $minDepth = null, int $maxDepth = -1) . If depths are not given, the method will use the values retrieved from getMinDepth() and getMaxDepth() . The deepest active page must be between $minDepth and $maxDepth inclusively. Returns an array containing the found page instance (key page ) and the depth (key depth ) at which the page was found. |
htmlify(PageInterface $page) : string |
Renders an HTML a element based on the give page. |
accept(PageInterface $page, bool $recursive = true) : bool |
Determine if a page should be accepted when iterating containers. This method checks for page visibility and verifies that the helper's role is allowed access to the page's resource and privilege. |
If a container is not explicitly set, the helper will create an empty
Mimmi20\Mezzio\Navigation\Navigation
container when calling $helper->getContainer()
.
Navigation view helpers use the magic method __call()
to proxy method calls to
the navigation container that is registered in the view helper.
$this->navigation()->addPage([
'type' => 'uri',
'label' => 'New page',
]);
The call above will add a page to the container in the Navigation
helper.
The navigation helpers support translation of page labels and titles. You can
set a translator of type Laminas\I18n\Translator\TranslatorInterface
in the
helper using $helper->setTranslator($translator)
.
If you want to disable translation, use $helper->setTranslatorEnabled(false)
.
The proxy helper will inject its own translator to the helper it proxies to if the proxied helper doesn't already have a translator.
There is no translation in the sitemap helper, since there are no page labels or titles involved in an XML sitemap.
All navigational view helpers support ACLs. An object implementing
Laminas\Permissions\Acl\AclInterface
can be assigned to a helper instance with
$helper->setAcl($acl)
, and role with $helper->setRole('member')
or
$helper->setRole(new Laminas\Permissions\Acl\Role\GenericRole('member'))
. If an
ACL is used in the helper, the role in the helper must be allowed by the ACL to
access a page's resource
and/or have the page's privilege
for the page to be
included when rendering.
If a page is not accepted by ACL, any descendant page will also be excluded from rendering.
The proxy helper will inject its own ACL and role to the helper it proxies to if the proxied helper doesn't already have any.
The examples below all show how ACL affects rendering.
This example shows the setup of a navigation container for a fictional software company.
Notes on the setup:
- The domain for the site is
www.example.com
. - Interesting page properties are marked with a comment.
- Unless otherwise is stated in other examples, the user is requesting the URL
http://www.example.com/products/server/faq/
, which translates to the page labeledFAQ
under "Foo Server". - The assumed ACL and router setup is shown below the container setup.

The navigation()
helper is a proxy helper that relays calls to other
navigational helpers. It can be considered an entry point to all
navigation-related view tasks.
The Navigation
helper finds other helpers that implement
Mezzio\Navigation\Helper\Navigation\HelperInterface
, which means custom view helpers
can also be proxied. This would, however, require that the custom helper path
is added to the view.
When proxying to other helpers, the Navigation
helper can inject its
container, ACL and optionally role, and a translator. This means that you won't
have to explicitly set all three in all navigational helpers, nor resort to
injecting by means of static methods.
Method signature | Description |
---|---|
findHelper(string $helper, bool $strict = true) : Navigation\HelperInterface |
Finds the given helper, verifies that it is a navigational helper, and injects the current container, ACL and role instances, and translator, if present. If $strict is true , the method will raise an exception when unable to find a valid helper. |
getInjectContainer() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not to inject the current container into proxied helpers; default is true . |
setInjectContainer(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not to inject the current container into proxied helpers. |
getInjectAcl() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not to inject ACL and role instances into proxied helpers; default is true . |
setInjectAcl(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not to inject ACL and role instances into proxied helpers. |
getInjectTranslator() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not to inject the current translator instance into proxied helpers; default is true . |
setInjectTranslator(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not to inject the current translator instance into proxied helpers. |
getDefaultProxy() : string |
Retrieve the default proxy helper to delegate to when rendering; defaults to menu . |
setDefaultProxy(string $helper) : self |
Set the default proxy helper to delegate to when rendering. |
render(ContainerInterface = null) |
Proxies to the render method of the default proxy. |
Breadcrumbs are used for indicating where in a sitemap a user is currently browsing, and are typically rendered like the following:
You are here: Home > Products > FantasticProduct 1.0
The breadcrumbs()
helper follows the Breadcrumbs Pattern
as outlined in the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library, and allows simple
customization (minimum/maximum depth, indentation, separator, and whether the
last element should be linked), or rendering using a partial view script.
The Breadcrumbs helper finds the deepest active page in a navigation container, and renders an upwards path to the root. For pages, the "activeness" of a page is determined by inspecting the request object, as stated in the section on pages.
The helper sets the minDepth
property to 1 by default, meaning breadcrumbs
will not be rendered if the deepest active page is a root page. If maxDepth
is
specified, the helper will stop rendering when at the specified depth (e.g. stop
at level 2 even if the deepest active page is on level 3).
Methods in the breadcrumbs helper:
Method signature | Description |
---|---|
getSeparator() : string |
Retrieves the separator string to use between breadcrumbs; default is > . |
setSeparator(string $separator) : self |
Set the separator string to use between breadcrumbs. |
getLinkLast() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether the last breadcrumb should be rendered as an anchor; defaults to false . |
setLinkLast(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether the last breadcrumb should be rendered as an anchor. |
getPartial() : string|array |
Retrieve a partial view script that should be used for rendering breadcrumbs. If a partial view script is set, the helper's render() method will use the renderPartial() method. The helper expects the partial to be a string or an array with two elements. If the partial is a string , it denotes the name of the partial script to use. If it is an array , the first element will be used as the name of the partial view script, and the second element is the module where the script is found. |
setPartial(string|array $partial) : self |
Set the partial view script to use when rendering breadcrumbs; see getPartial() for acceptable values. |
renderStraight() |
The default render method used when no partial view script is present. |
renderPartial() |
Used for rendering using a partial view script. |
This example shows how to render breadcrumbs with default settings.
In a view script or layout:
<?= $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs(); ?>
The call above takes advantage of the magic __toString()
method, and is
equivalent to:
<?= $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()->render(); ?>
Output:
<a href="/products">Products</a> > <a href="/products/server">Foo Server</a> > FAQ
This example shows how to render breadcrumbs with initial indentation.
Rendering with 8 spaces indentation:
<?= $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()->setIndent(8) ?>
Output:
<a href="/products">Products</a> > <a href="/products/server">Foo Server</a> > FAQ
This example shows how to customize breadcrumbs output by specifying multiple options.
In a view script or layout:
<?= $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()
->setLinkLast(true) // link last page
->setMaxDepth(1) // stop at level 1
->setSeparator(' โถ' . PHP_EOL); // cool separator with newline
?>
Output:
<a href="/products">Products</a> โถ
<a href="/products/server">Foo Server</a>
Setting minimum depth required to render breadcrumbs:
<?= $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()->setMinDepth(10) ?>
Output: Nothing, because the deepest active page is not at level 10 or deeper.
This example shows how to render customized breadcrumbs using a partial vew
script. By calling setPartial()
, you can specify a partial view script that
will be used when calling render()
. When a partial is specified, the
renderPartial()
method will be called when emitting the breadcrumbs. This
method will find the deepest active page and pass an array of pages that leads
to the active page to the partial view script.
In a layout:
echo $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()
->setPartial('my-module/partials/breadcrumbs');
Contents of module/MyModule/view/my-module/partials/breadcrumbs.phtml
:
<?= implode(', ', array_map(function ($a) {
return $a->getLabel();
}, $this->pages)); ?>
Output:
Products, Foo Server, FAQ
The links()
helper is used for rendering HTML LINK
elements. Links are used for describing
document relationships of the currently active page. Read more about links and
link types at:
There are two types of relations; forward and reverse, indicated by the kewyords
rel
and rev
. Most methods in the helper will take a $rel
param, which must
be either rel
or rev
. Most methods also take a $type
param, which is used
for specifying the link type (e.g. alternate
, start
, next
, prev
,
chapter
, etc).
Relationships can be added to page objects manually, or found by traversing the
container registered in the helper. The method findRelation($page, $rel, $type)
will first try to find the given $rel
of $type
from the $page
by
calling $page>findRel($type)
or $page>findRel($type)
. If the $page
has a
relation that can be converted to a page instance, that relation will be used.
If the $page
instance doesn't have the specified $type
, the helper will look
for a method in the helper named search$rel$type
(e.g. searchRelNext()
or
searchRevAlternate()
). If such a method exists, it will be used for
determining the $page
's relation by traversing the container.
Not all relations can be determined by traversing the container. These are the relations that will be found by searching:
searchRelStart()
, forwardstart
relation: the first page in the container.searchRelNext()
, forwardnext
relation; finds the next page in the container, i.e. the page after the active page.searchRelPrev()
, forwardprev
relation; finds the previous page, i.e. the page before the active page.searchRelChapter()
, forwardchapter
relations; finds all pages on level 0 except thestart
relation or the active page if it's on level 0.searchRelSection()
, forwardsection
relations; finds all child pages of the active page if the active page is on level 0 (achapter
).searchRelSubsection()
, forwardsubsection
relations; finds all child pages of the active page if the active pages is on level 1 (asection
).searchRevSection()
, reversesection
relation; finds the parent of the active page if the active page is on level 1 (asection
).searchRevSubsection()
, reversesubsection
relation; finds the parent of the active page if the active page is on level 2 (asubsection
).
When looking for relations in the page instance (
$page->getRel($type)
or$page->getRev($type)
), the helper accepts the values of typestring
,array
,Traversable
, orMezzio\Navigation\Page\PageInterface
:
PageInterface
instances are used directly.- If a string is found, it will be converted to a
Mezzio\Navigation\Page\Uri
.- If an array or
Traversable
is found, it will be converted to one or several page instances. If the first key is numeric, it will be considered to contain several pages, and each element will be passed to the page factory. If the first key is not numeric, the value will be passed to the page factory directly, and a single page will be returned.
The helper also supports magic methods for finding relations. E.g. to find
forward alternate relations, call $helper->findRelAlternate($page)
, and to
find reverse section relations, call $helper->findRevSection($page)
. Those
calls correspond to $helper->findRelation($page, 'rel', 'alternate')
and
$helper->findRelation($page, 'rev', 'section')
, respectively.
To customize which relations should be rendered, the helper uses a render flag.
The render flag is an integer value, and will be used in a
bitwise and (&
) operation against
the helper's render constants to determine if the relation that belongs to the
render constant should be rendered.
See the example below for more information.
The LinksInterface
helper defines the following constants:
Mezzio\Navigation\Helper\Navigation\LinksInterface::RENDER_ALTERNATE
Mezzio\Navigation\Helper\Navigation\LinksInterface::RENDER_STYLESHEET
Mezzio\Navigation\Helper\Navigation\LinksInterface::RENDER_START
Mezzio\Navigation\Helper\Navigation\LinksInterface::RENDER_NEXT

The constants from RENDER_ALTERNATE
to RENDER_BOOKMARK
denote standard HTML
link types. RENDER_CUSTOM
denotes non-standard relations specified in pages.

The menu()
helper is used for rendering menus from navigation containers. By
default, the menu will be rendered using HTML UL
and LI
tags, but the helper
also allows using a partial view script.
Methods in the Menu helper:
Method signature | Description |
---|---|
getUlClass() : string |
Retrieve the CSS class used when rendering ul elements in renderMenu() . |
setUlClass(string $class) : self |
Set the CSS class to use when rendering ul elements in renderMenu() . |
getOnlyActiveBranch() : bool |
Retrieve the flag specifying whether or not to render only the active branch of a container. |
setOnlyActiveBranch(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag specifying whether or not to render only the active branch of a container. |
getRenderParents() : bool |
Retrieve the flag specifying whether or not to render parent pages when rendering the active branch of a container. |
setRenderParents(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag specifying whether or not to render parent pages when rendering the active branch of a container. When set to false , only the deepest active menu will be rendered. |
getPartial() : string|array |
Retrieve a partial view script that should be used for rendering breadcrumbs. If a partial view script is set, the helper's render() method will use the renderPartial() method. The helper expects the partial to be a string or an array with two elements. If the partial is a string , it denotes the name of the partial script to use. If it is an array , the first element will be used as the name of the partial view script, and the second element is the module where the script is found. |
setPartial(string|array $partial) : self |
Set the partial view script to use when rendering breadcrumbs; see getPartial() for acceptable values. |
htmlify(/* ... */) : string |
Overrides the method from the abstract class, with the argument list PageInterface $page, bool $escapeLabel = true, bool $addClassToListItem = false . Returns span elements if the page has no href . |
renderMenu(ContainerInterface $container = null, $options = []) : string |
Default rendering method; renders a container as an HTML UL list. If $container is not given, the container registered in the helper will be rendered. $options is used for overriding options specified temporarily without resetting the values in the helper instance; if none are set, those already provided to the helper will be used. Options are an associative array where each key corresponds to an option in the helper. See the table below for recognized options. |
renderPartial(ContainerInterface $container = null, string|array $partial = null) : string |
Used for rendering the menu using a partial view script. |
renderSubMenu(/* ... */) : string |
Renders the deepest menu level of a container's active branch. Accepts the arguments ContainerInterface $container , string $ulClass = null , string|int $indent = null (an integer value indicates number of spaces to use), string $liActiveClass = null . |
The following are options recognized by the renderMenu()
method:
Option name | Description |
---|---|
indent |
Indentation. Expects a string or an int value. |
minDepth |
Minimum depth. Expects an int or null (no minimum depth). |
maxDepth |
Maximum depth. Expects an int or null (no maximum depth). |
ulClass |
CSS class for ul element. Expects a string . |
onlyActiveBranch |
Whether only active branch should be rendered. Expects a boolean value. |
renderParents |
Whether parents should be rendered if only rendering active branch. Expects a boolean value. |
This example shows how to render a menu from a container registered/found in the view helper. Notice how pages are filtered out based on visibility and ACL.
In a view script or layout:
<?= $this->navigation()->menu()->render() ?>
Or:
<?= $this->navigation()->menu() ?>
Output:
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<a title="Go Home" href="/">Home</a>

This example shows how to render a menu that is not registered in the view
helper by calling renderMenu()
directly and specifying options.
<?php
// render only the 'Community' menu
$community = $this->navigation()->findOneByLabel('Community');
$options = [
'indent' => 16,
'ulClass' => 'community'
];
echo $this->navigation()
->menu()
->renderMenu($community, $options);
?>
Output:
<ul class="community">
<li>
<a href="/community/account">My Account</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="external" href="http://forums.example.com/">Forums</a>
</li>
</ul>
This example shows how renderSubMenu()
will render the deepest sub menu of
the active branch.
Calling renderSubMenu($container, $ulClass, $indent)
is equivalent to calling
renderMenu($container, $options)
with the following options:
[
'ulClass' => $ulClass,
'indent' => $indent,
'minDepth' => null,
'maxDepth' => null,
'onlyActiveBranch' => true,
'renderParents' => false,
]
Usage of renderSubMenu
method:
<?= $this->navigation()
->menu()
->renderSubMenu(null, 'sidebar', 4) ?>
The output will be the same if 'FAQ' or 'Foo Server' is active:
<ul class="sidebar">
<li class="active">
<a href="/products/server/faq">FAQ</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/products/server/editions">Editions</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/products/server/requirements">System Requirements</a>
</li>
</ul>
<?= $this->navigation()

This example shows how to render a custom menu using a partial view script. By
calling setPartial()
, you can specify a partial view script that will be used
when calling render()
; when a partial is specified, that method will proxy to
the renderPartial()
method.
The renderPartial()
method will assign the container to the view with the key
container
.
In a layout:
$this->navigation()->menu()->setPartial('my-module/partials/menu');
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->render();
In module/MyModule/view/my-module/partials/menu.phtml
:
foreach ($this->container as $page) {
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->htmlify($page) . PHP_EOL;
}
Output:
<a title="Go Home" href="/">Home</a>
<a href="/products">Products</a>
<a title="About us" href="/company/about">Company</a>
<a href="/community">Community</a>
Starting with version 2.6.0, you can assign custom variables to a partial script.
In a layout:
// Set partial
$this->navigation()->menu()->setPartial('my-module/partials/menu');
// Output menu
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->renderPartialWithParams(
[
'headline' => 'Links',
]
);
In module/MyModule/view/my-module/partials/menu.phtml
:
<h1><?= $headline ?></h1>
<?php
foreach ($this->container as $page) {
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->htmlify($page) . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
Output:
<h1>Links</h1>
<a title="Go Home" href="/">Home</a>
<a href="/products">Products</a>
<a title="About us" href="/company/about">Company</a>
<a href="/community">Community</a>
In a layout:
// Set options
$this->navigation()->menu()
->setUlClass('my-nav')
->setPartial('my-module/partials/menu');
// Output menu
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->render();
In module/MyModule/view/my-module/partials/menu.phtml
:
<div class"<?= $this->navigation()->menu()->getUlClass() ?>">
<?php
foreach ($this->container as $page) {
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->htmlify($page) . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
</div>
Output:
<div class="my-nav">
<a title="Go Home" href="/">Home</a>
<a href="/products">Products</a>
<a title="About us" href="/company/about">Company</a>
<a href="/community">Community</a>
</div>
If you want to use an ACL within your partial view script, then you will have to check the access to a page manually.
In module/MyModule/view/my-module/partials/menu.phtml
:
foreach ($this->container as $page) {
if ($this->navigation()->accept($page)) {
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->htmlify($page) . PHP_EOL;
}
}
The sitemap()
helper is used for generating XML sitemaps, as defined by the
Sitemaps XML format. Read more about
Sitemaps on Wikipedia.
By default, the sitemap helper uses sitemap validators
to validate each element that is rendered. This can be disabled by calling
$helper->setUseSitemapValidators(false)
.
Element | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
loc | string | Absolute URL to page. An absolute URL will be generated by the helper. |
lastmod | string | The date of last modification of the file, in W3C Datetime format. This time portion can be omitted if desired, and only use YYYY-MM-DD. The helper will try to retrieve the lastmod value from the page's custom property lastmod if it is set in the page. If the value is not a valid date, it is ignored. |
changefreq | string | How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general information to search engines and may not correlate exactly to how often they crawl the page. Valid values are: "always", "hourly", "daily", "weekly", "monthly", "yearly", and "never". The helper will try to retrieve the changefreq value from the page's custom property changefreq if it is set in the page. If the value is not valid, it is ignored. |
priority | float | The priority of this URL relative to other URLs on your site. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. The helper will try to retrieve the priority value from the page's custom property priority if it is set in the page. If the value is not valid, it is ignored. |
If you disable sitemap validators, the custom properties (see table) are not validated at all.
The sitemap helper also supports Sitemap XSD Schema
validation of the generated sitemap. This is disabled by default, since it will
require a request to the schema file. It can be enabled with
$helper->setUseSchemaValidation(true)
.
Methods in the sitemap helper:
Method signature | Description |
---|---|
getFormatOutput() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not generated XML should be formatted. Default is false . |
setFormatOutput(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not generated XML should be formatted. The flag corresponds to the the formatOutput property of the native DOMDocument class. Read more in the DOMDocument documentation. |
getUseXmlDeclaration() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not to emit the XML declaration when rendering; defaults to true . |
setUseXmlDeclaration(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not to emit the XML declaration when rendering. |
getUseSitemapValidators() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not sitemap validators should be used when generating the DOM; default is true . |
setUseSitemapValidators(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not sitemap validators should be used when generating the DOM. |
getUseSchemaValidation() : bool |
Retrieve the flag indicating whether or not the helper should use XML schema validation when generating the DOM; default is false . |
setUseSchemaValidation(bool $flag) : self |
Set the flag indicating whether or not the helper should use XML schema validation when generating the DOM. |
getServerUrl() : string |
Retrieve the server URL to prepend to non-absolute URIs via the url() method; if none is present, it will be determined by the helper. |
setServerUrl(string $url) : self |
Set the base server URL to prepend to non-absolute URIs. |
url(PageInterface $page) : string |
Generate an absolute URL for the provided page. |
getDomSitemap(ContainerInterface = null) : DOMDocument |
Generates a DOMDocument sitemap representation from the given container. |
This example shows how to render an XML sitemap based on the setup we did further up.
// In a view script or layout:
// format output
$this->navigation()
->sitemap()
->setFormatOutput(true); // default is false
// Other possible methods:
// ->setUseXmlDeclaration(false); // default is true
// ->setServerUrl('http://my.otherhost.com'); // default is to detect automatically
// print sitemap
echo $this->navigation()->sitemap();
Notice how pages that are invisible or pages with ACL roles incompatible with the view helper are filtered out:

By default, laminas-view uses UTF-8 as its default encoding. If you want to use another encoding with
Sitemap
, you will have do three things:
- Create a custom renderer and implement a
getEncoding()
method.- Create a custom rendering strategy that will return an instance of your custom renderer.
- Attach the custom strategy in the
ViewEvent
.See the example from the HeadStyle documentation to see how you can achieve this.
