ExtraPage: Active Item

OurWebMedia

Hello @peregrine,

I've not yet explored your plugin code yet but thought I'd suggest inserting Active in the active menu item.

Maybe you'll reply prior to my digging but if there's a simple way I'd love to know how to make it show Active.

Thanks a lot for the help! Great plugin! Works seamlessly!

Active as in Highlighted ? That is done with css no?

a.Highlight{
color:#f00;
}

I meant to say Highlight, active came as a mistake, was working with an active class

Here's a screenshot active page (using the plugin):

Here's a screenshot of an active page with Highlight:

Haven't yet looked into the code to be honest and probably something simple. Just figured I'd throw it out there as I shut down what I was doing for the night preparing for bed Figured if no response by tomorrow I'd try figuring it out myself.

Thanks for your input tho, not the CSS part I was concerned about

I think you posted in the wrong plugin, are you talking about ExtraMenu Item ?

Coz extra page is a blank page and you put your stuff in there..

Hello,

I am very certain about the plugin I am referring to:

It creates an extra page and adds it into your menu.

I was testing out various plugins people may use with this theme I'm working on.

The menu item that is added when clicked has no Highlight class added to it.

Which is my concern. When it's active, it should have the Highlight class to style it.

Feel free to add the highlight as you see fit.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but the menu that shows in extra page is not controlled by extra page. It is the normal menu that renders with the master view ...

If I am wrong, then copy the way the menu is in the master view and add your own...

the menu module uses

public function HighlightRoute($Route) {
         $this->_HighlightRoute = $Route;
      }

$CurrentLink = $Url == Url($HighlightRoute);

to add the highlight to the link of the current page being viewd. Look at the class.menumodule.php
