How do you do this??

I have added a itemlink to the top menu - how do you make it so when it is clicked it is "highlighted"??
Like shown below -

I cannot say for certain without seeing the code you used to display your new menu item, but look very closley at how these are generated in the default theme.
Specifically, look at "// Show the start of the tab section." and how each button is created.

this is the code I used -

// the [downloads] button
echo ($current_action=='tpmod;dl=0' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'tpmod;dl=0' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=tpmod;dl=0">' , $txt[115]  , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'tpmod;dl=0' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Try adding 'tpmod;dl=0' to the variables in the array listed below.

Also I think 'tpmod;dl' might work verses 'tpmod;dl=0'.

if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];

no didn't work - (

[akulion]

try to put:

$current_action == 'tpmod'
in all places in the code

and in array ,'tpmod'

IF the above dosent work try and follow this thread

[pvcblue]

tried and followed - didn't work
:/

depends on if you are trying to setup a link that has an action or not. tpmod would only work for the downoad button because the action in the URL is action=tpmod

If you're trying to link to something that doesn't have an action set in your forum then it won't highlite the button like the others do.

Oh bummox, can't get it to show as active tab, as it is a subaction

Got this far

Mind you this will work for ALL modules in the future for TP if they continue to be sub-action of tpmod. But this will work for download manager for now.
