Question

I have a simple-navigation for my View :

SimpleNavigation::Configuration.run do |navigation|
  navigation.active_leaf_class = 'active'
  navigation.items do |primary|
    primary.item :profile,'Profile', edit_user_path do |profile|
      profile.item :basic, 'Basic Information', edit_user_path
      profile.item :additional, 'Addditional Details', additional_details_user_path
      profile.dom_class = 'nav nav-list'
    end
  primary.item :notifications, 'Notifications', notification_preferences_user_path do |notification|
    notification.item :notificatin_preference, 'Notification Preferences', additional_details_user_path
    notification.dom_class = 'nav nav-list'
  end

primary.dom_class = ‘nav nav-pills’
end
end

Additional details is another method which is not related to edit, so it doesnt highlight the primary profile link when i click on that link. How can I et it right? MY User resources in routes are like this :

resources :users do
  member do
    get :network
    put :peer_tagged_expertise_list
    get :qr_code
    get :qr_code_image
    get :about_you
    get :timeline
    get :network_tagcloud
    get :user_tagcloud
    get :settings
    get :notification_preferences
    get :additional_details
  end
  collection do
    get :test
    get :followers
  end
  resource :networks
end

New Answer after getting more information

The structuring code used in Simple Navigation does not automatically adjust your routes.

In order to get /users/1/profile/additional_details, your route should include the nesting of user => profile => additional details.

The path should be something like additional_details_user_profile_path when generated. This fixes the URL problem, but I’m not sure if it will fix your highlighting issue with Bootstrap.

For simple navigation, use

navigation.active_leaf_class="active"

to set your active nav item class. For Bootstrap, the item should be classed as active.

SimpleNavigation::Configuration.run do |navigation|
  navigation.active_leaf_class = "active" # Added this line
  navigation.items do |primary|
    primary.item :profile,'Profile', edit_user_path do |profile|
      profile.item :basic, 'Basic Information', edit_user_path
      profile.item :additional, 'Addditional Details', additional_details_user_path
      profile.dom_class = 'nav nav-list'
    end
  primary.item :notifications, 'Notifications', notification_preferences_user_path do |notification|
    notification.item :notificatin_preference, 'Notification Preferences', additional_details_user_path
    notification.dom_class = 'nav nav-list'
  end
