Instance Method Details

#current_navable ⇒ Object

This method returns the navable object the navigational elements on the currently shown page point to.

For example, if the bread crumb navigation reads ‘Start > Intranet > News’, the current_navable would return the with ‘News’ associated navable object.

This also means, that the current_navable has to be set in the controller through point_navigation_to.

    # More info on sharing the cookie: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12359522/
