Re: [fw-mvc] Using Zend_Navigation for hierarchically menus

Andre,

Thank you. I kept at it and got to where I have a good enough understanding
now.

I was able to get the Navigation and the Acl to work together and only show
the menu/submenu item combos that the user had privileges for. For example,
a 'guest' would not see the 'activity' menu at all. Ans authenticated
'member' would see the 'activity' menu and the 'list' submenu. And an
authenticated admin would see the 'activity' menu and the 'list, add, edit'
submenus.

Here is a link to my example: http://gist.github.com/258911 if it helps
anyone.

Thanks,

Jim
