Create admin/output functions for bootstrap navbar

Bootstrap navbar admin/output I am currently using a configuration file for setting general bootstrap navbar menu parameters (navbar_inverse, alignment, etc) and datatables for handling menu items, both saved in mysql. Datatables more/less works but because it is flat it is very difficult to keep organized/structured with a menu that has dropdown items. I would like to continue using datatables if you can figure out how to make it work similar to the jquery menu builder library. See this post which discusses a method: [login to view URL] If impossible to get DataTables to work then something like jQuery menu builder: [login to view URL] is an option. Take a look at my datatables example for both menu configuration and menu-items: [login to view URL] The demo articles form/table is there to support the example. 1) Administration Navbar/menu general config/options. Visit the [login to view URL] link to see most general options for individual menus From the list of menus (menus db table) select a menu to access the menu-items form. Note that only the first menu (Main menu) is working in this example. Navbar menu items requirements Once you've gotten to [login to view URL] you'll see the parameters I have set for each menu item attached to the menu. However it doesn't visually work like the jQuery drag/drop plugin and gets weird if you do drag items because children don't follow. 2) Output/utilization I have a php script that I've written that first goes through the general navbar/menu parameters, adding relevant [login to view URL] file to the page, then adding other navbar parameters like fix top, justified, etc, ul left or right if split, etc to the navbar framework. Lastly it adds the menu items in parent/child form like a common bootstrap menu. This is a little hacky but it illustrates how it might work: [login to view URL] I would like to get a cleaner output version working that 1) includes the general styling in the dochead and 2) generates the menu html which I will include in pages. View my project demo example before posting a bid. DataTables Editor experience is useful.
