Migration path from BootstrapMenuHelperModel

[mwpowellhtx]

Hello,

It's been a little while for me since refreshing, and I was once using the BootstrapMenuHelperModel (good stuff, there, BTW). I can't imagine this functionality has vanished, however, the reference to this helper model seems to have vanished, or changed name?

@Html.MvcSiteMap().Menu("BootstrapMenuHelperModel", false)

Thanks!

Actually, I should clarify, I am receiving an exception and I think I have any understanding as to why, but wanted to run it by someone.

I'm thinking this is because, perhaps rightly so, that the required Controllers are not there yet in order to support the sitemap that I've outlined. I'll stub them in with nominal requirements and see if that doesn't improve things, i.e. at least loading the site with the menu.

Assuming that is the issue, it would be nice if there were more detail in the exception, such as which menus or desired Controllers/Actions were involved with the item.

I see what happened. I pulled the Core package in instead of the top level MVC5. It's been a little while working with this, like I said; getting my radar attenuated.
