Custom menu tab not highlighting issue (swf 1.1.11)

[neotrix]

Well, i've made a custom menu tab (roster) linking to a custom article(page=2).
However when i'm on this "roster" page my roster menu tab is not highlighted, as instead the home button stays lit.

Does anybody know howto fix this problem? I've used these codes in  my index.php & my index.template.php (i'm using ds-natural theme).

index.php

Code Select Expand

// Here's the monstrous $_REQUEST['action'] array - $_REQUEST['action'] => array($file, $function).
$actionArray = array(
          'roster' => array('?page=2', 'roster'),
'activate' => array('Register.php', 'Activate'),

index.template.php

Code Select Expand

// Work out where we currently are.
$current_action = 'home';
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('admin', 'ban', 'boardrecount', 'cleanperms', 'detailedversion', 'dumpdb', 'featuresettings', 'featuresettings2', 'findmember', 'maintain', 'manageattachments', 'manageboards', 'managecalendar', 'managesearch', 'membergroups', 'modlog', 'news', 'optimizetables', 'packageget', 'packages', 'permissions', 'pgdownload', 'postsettings', 'regcenter', 'repairboards', 'reports', 'serversettings', 'serversettings2', 'smileys', 'viewErrorLog', 'viewmembers')))
$current_action = 'admin';

if ($context['current_action'] == 'roster')
$current_action = 'roster';


I've already asked other people about this and they say my page=2 does not have

Code Select Expand

class="current"
in it. My website is http://www.erion-eu.co.nr incase if you wanted to check it out for yourself .


Thanks alot,

$context['current_action'] only picks up action= in your url. So your URL HAS TO actually have action=roster for your button to be highlighted. In order to fix this you have to add some custom coding to your menu code.

Code Select Expand


if(isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == '2')
    $current_action='roster';

Then in your button code, just make sure it is set to roster for all the current_action stuff.

So are these 2 codes correct?

index.php

Code Select Expand

// Here's the monstrous $_REQUEST['action'] array - $_REQUEST['action'] => array($file, $function).
$actionArray = array(
          'roster' => array('roster', 'roster'),
'activate' => array('Register.php', 'Activate'),

index.template.php

Code Select Expand

// Work out where we currently are.
$current_action = 'home';
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('admin', 'ban', 'boardrecount', 'cleanperms', 'detailedversion', 'dumpdb', 'featuresettings', 'featuresettings2', 'findmember', 'maintain', 'manageattachments', 'manageboards', 'managecalendar', 'managesearch', 'membergroups', 'modlog', 'news', 'optimizetables', 'packageget', 'packages', 'permissions', 'pgdownload', 'postsettings', 'regcenter', 'repairboards', 'reports', 'serversettings', 'serversettings2', 'smileys', 'viewErrorLog', 'viewmembers')))
$current_action = 'admin';

if(isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == '2')
    $current_action='roster';



thanks!

There's no need to add that code to the index.php file unless you are writing a custom page for SMF. Since you're using an article, all you need is the code I posted, and your button code.

Edit: It worked! Thanks alot mate!

If i wanted to redirect a tab to the action "tpmod;dl=cat2"

(http://neotrix.justforfun-gaming.co.cc/siteke/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=cat2)
How would this work out in the coding then?

Cheers!

[IchBin]

So you want your tab highlighted when someone clicks on that link?

You can do the same thing with dl.

Code Select Expand

if (isset($_GET['ld']) && $_GET['dl'] == '2')
    $current_action="mylink";

Then your button code needs to say mylink in all the appropriate places.

hmmm this one doesnt work.
I've used :

Code Select Expand

if (isset($_GET['ld']) && $_GET['dl'] == '2')
$current_action="addons";

Code Select Expand

// Show the [Addons] button.
echo '<li><a' , $current_action=='addons' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=tpmod;dl=cat2"><span>' , 'addons' , '</span></a></li>';

There is a mistake in my code. Try this instead:

Code Select Expand

if (isset($_GET['dl']) && $_GET['dl'] == 'cat2')
$current_action="addons";

Edited my code before your last post. Sorry, I need to pay more attention to the code you show apparently...
