Gaining $current_url from dynamic urls | top_menu.tpl

top_menu.tpl

Skin: Default Blue 1.3.4 Sp3



{* VIEW CART *}



{$lang.view_cart}

Can anyone explain how to ‘decode’ common URLs to smarty coding?

I need a single topic page to be classified as the $current_url in order to get the ‘pushed button’ impression on the menu.



[COLOR=black]Domain.com

{if $current_url == “$index_script?target=topic_data&topic_id=14”}



[url]Domain.com

{if $current_url == “$index.php?target=forms&name=contact_us”}



I’ve tried the following without success:

{if $current_url == “$index_script?$target=$topic_data&topic_id=14”}



Eg Click on ‘view cart’ from the top navigation menu on the cs-cart demo,

the button will then go light blue with the others being the default solid state colour.



If anyone’s got any ideas it would be much appreciated to reply :smiley:

Jesse,



I’m not in front of my development environment right now, but why not check your debug window and see what’s being set in $current_url when you’re on that page?

Im not sure exactly what your trying to do, but you got variables all over the place and is confusing to me what you want.



[url]http://localhost/cscart/index.php?target=cart[/url]

produces the variable below:

[COLOR=blue]{$current_url} = [/COLOR][COLOR=green]index.php?target=cart[/COLOR]

[URL=“http://localhost/cscart/index.php?target=cart”]http://localhost/cscart/index.php?target=cart[/URL]

produces the variable below:

[COLOR=blue]{$current_url} = [/COLOR][COLOR=green]index.php?target=cart[/COLOR][/quote]



That’s more or less what I required except, when the page loads the variable won’t load as it’s php, not smarty :stuck_out_tongue: I got confused beyond definition however I’ll show you all what I was aiming for. Worked too :smiley:





As you can see the red coding is what really confused the **** outta me.

And so, I needed three different URL strings to signify what page I was on when I clicked on the buttons.

thanks for the code regardless.



It was a matter of & since html escape characters must be used in php?
