CGI::Application::Plugin::Menu icon issues

[navalned]

I keep getting the following error:

Error executing run mode 'mode2': HTML::Template->output() : fatal error in loop output : HTML::Template : Attempt to set nonexistent parameter 'icon' - this parameter name doesn't match any declarations in the template file : (die_on_bad_params => 1) at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/HTML/Template.pm line 3068.

I have tried lots of stuff. However, this seems like what should work:

sub some_run_mode {
    my $template = $self->load_tmpl('some_template');
    my $menu = $self->menu();
    $menu->add('mode3', 'logout');
    $template->param(
        MAIN_MENU_LOOP => $menu->loop();
    );
    return $template->output();
}

And from the template:

<TMPL_LOOP MAIN_MENU_LOOP>
    <li><a href="<TMPL_VAR URL>"><TMPL_VAR LABEL></a></li>
</TMPL_LOOP>

I'm going to keep trying, but if you have overcome this before please share.

Thanks!

G'day navalned,

Welcome to the Monastery.

Without seeing more of your code, this is purely a guess.

The variable $self just appears in &some_run_mode. Where does it come from? What's its state when it's used there? Did you perhaps need something like this?

sub some_run_mode {
    my ($self) = @_;
    ...
}

You might also look elsewhere in your code to see where "icon" appears.

This is an ugly hack, but this works for now:



<TMPL_LOOP MAIN_MENU_LOOP>
    <li><a href="<TMPL_VAR URL>"><TMPL_VAR LABEL></a></li>
    <!-- <TMPL_VAR ICON> --!>
</TMPL_LOOP>
