why second var_dump() display null in this code in my layout.phtml :
var_dump(($this->navigation('navigation')->menu()->render()));
var_dump(($this->navigation('navigation')->breadcrumbs()->render()));
output :
string '<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<a href="/en/admin">DashBoard</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="/en/admin/members">Members Management</a>
</li>
<li class="active">
<a href="/en/admin/events">Events</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="/en/admin/events/categories">Categories</a>
</li>
<li class="active">
<a href="/en/admin/events">Show All</a>
</li>
<li class="active">
<a href='... (length=802)
string '' (length=0)
EDIT :
actually changing var_dump order ... OMG ... again the second one is NULL !! :-O Output :
string '<a href="/en/admin/events">Events</a> > Show All' (length=51)
string '' (length=0)
