Note: Please also take a look at the newer [EMenu extension](http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/emenu "Title"). This works even better that
 
the deprecated CDropDownMenu!
 
 
In this tutorial we will create a hierarchical Structure using the traditional adjacency list model. Yii's ActiveRecord paradigm makes it very easy to implement this structure via a join on itself. After this, we will use the new CMenu from yii 1.1 and implement it in conjunction with [superfish](http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/ "Title"), a jQuery plugin for creating menus.

The [CDropDownMenu extension](http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/cdropdownmenu "Title") will help us to accomplish this task.

```php
$model = Hierarchy::model()->findByPk(7);
$parent = $model->getparent;
echo $parent->title;
// returns 'First Entry'
[...]
$subitems[] = $child->getListed();
}
$returnarray = array('label' => $this->headlintitle, 'url' => array('Hierarchy/view', 'id' => $this->id));
if($subitems != array())
$returnarray = array_merge($returnarray, array('items' => $subitems));
return $returnarray;
}
```
