Active tab for top menu

Hey,



Not sure if this solution already exists but any ideas how to active a tab per category? i know it can be done for most things and even pages but seems this does not work:



categories.view&category_id=1

I’m also looking for a solution for this. I tried a couple different variations:



categories.category_id=1

categories.view&category_id=1

categories.view.category_id=1



…but nothing seems to work.



Anyone have any ideas?

maybe it needs the complete url

Nope complete url doesn’t do it but thanks for the tip.



I’ve got a ticket in with support so hopefully I’ll get a definitive answer back and will post it here when i do.

Did anybody manage this as I’m also looking to do the same

Well, I sorta have it working.



I initially had a category in each tab. However, but I couldn’t fit every category in. So I ended up with two tabs.



ink cartridges & photo paper





Here it is on my website:

It sorta working I guess. Just leave the “Activate menu tab for:” blank.

hykit is right, just leave “Activate menu tab for:” blank and whatever you are using for URL will be the page that makes the tab active.

MM I must be missing something then as I’ve just tried that and it doesnt seem to do anything.

Well it only adds the class “cm-active” so you have to have styling setup for this class in your stylesheet. Don’t know if there is by default.

Yeah it’s currently already working for the homepage.



But I’ve created links to different categories in the top menu but activate the “cm-active” styling for these.

I’ve got my top menu setup with only categories and it works for me. Again, it only applies the “cm-active” class to those tabs when you are on any of the categories (and not sub-categories) so you need to create an alternate style for anything to appear different.

Hello, I’m struggling to get these top menus activate…



Any suggestions before I hard code them

Have you tried contacting support?

Yeah no answer been waiting two day…

Modify the top menu template:

Okay, here’s my implementation. Active menu selected by on the current category id.

Buttons have rounded corners only on browsers based on Mozilla and WebKit since those support CSS3 well. IE does not.







Inspired by the horizontal menu from baballuci.

```php {if $category.category_id == $smarty.session.current_category_id} ```



Does anyone know what the equivalent smarty tag is for the top_quick_links.tpl? I’d like to show ON state for this menu.



thanks,

Glen

As usual, I figure it out immediately after posting…



```php {if $config.current_url == $link.param} ```

{if $config.current_url == $link.param}



is this how to show current url?

That code lets me set an ON state in the Quick Links menu. Like this:



```php {foreach from=$quick_links item=“link”}

{if $config.current_url == $link.param}
