#categories li a.cat-selected-text but for EZPAGES

[e81ny]

I've done that, Glenn.
Thank you very much for helping me. I really appreciate it!

This should function for all internal links whether generic or specific, as well as for home links. Please test it and let me know how it works for you.

  }elseif ($var_linksList[$i]['altURL']) {//check for current page in alturl
    $active = ((strstr($_GET['url'],$var_linksList[$i]['altURL']) and (strstr($var_linksList[$i]['altURL'],'/index.php') != '/index.php')) or ($_GET['url'] == $var_linksList[$i]['altURL']))?' class="activeILPage"': '';
  } ?>

$i=1 current page=page id=6 listid=3 About Us ::

This says (when on the About Us page) that the actual ez-page id is 6, while the link is pointing to ez-page id 3; thus they don't match and the link code doesn't think it is the current page. I don't know how this can be... if the link gets to the right ez-page, they should match.

Glenn,

Most links work now but one strange thing happened..
Now if you click on/go to "Home", the "products" turns red too.

And when click on "Products", it doesn't turn red. ("Products" is pointed to "index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1" on ezpage setting.)

How do I apply this to ezpage sidebox? Would you tell me how to do that for ezpage sidebox?

Thanks, Glenn.

PS. I've "fixed" the "about us". I noticed that "about us" header order was "3" and sidebox order was "6". I changed both to"6" and it works now.

[gjh42]

Product or category listings are "index" pages, as is the home page, so the post #20 code's

strstr($var_linksList[$i]['altURL'],'main_page=' . $current_page_base)

will be positive when the link has main_page=index and you are on the home page.
This will probably be taken care of with the latest version of the test in post #22.
If that works correctly, I will proceed to transfer it into the sidebox.

[gjh42]

The "Products" link is not turning red on the product page because you have only one product in the category, and Zen Cart is following the default setting and going straight to the product info page in this case

main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1

while the link says

main_page=index&cPath=1

I think even the improved code wouldn't pick up on this; you would need to use the individual product as the link destination. The only practical way I could see this situation arising without writing the link by hand is if a category had two products when the link was made and then had one deleted. Copy/pasting the internal link destinations is a good way to be sure they are right.

[e81ny]

Yes, it works!! (I pointed the "products" to "index.php?main_page=product_info" for the moment..)

Please go ahead and transfer it into ezpage sidebox. I'm so happy that this can be done. I cannot thank you enough..

[gjh42]

I transferred the testing code into a function, so only one line in both the header and sidebox tpl_ files needs to be altered, calling the function.

I did modify the header bar file a bit, for streamlined code and to make the list a <ul> for more flexible styling. This requires an addition to the stylesheet to keep the appearance the same as before.
I also pulled the inline styling out of the sidebox file, so it needs to go in the stylesheet as well, in addition to the new active class style rules.

#navEZPagesTop ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;}
#ezpagesContent ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;}
.activeEZPage {color: #ff0000;}
.activeILPage {color: #ff0000;}

As there are numerous tweaks from the previous version to this one, please test to make sure there are no typos or bugs introduced.

Glenn,

I created a PHP file:
/includes/functions/extra_functions/ezpages_improved_menus_functions.php

and made all the changes according to your instructions, but nothing seems to happen now..

I feel bad that you are doing all the work. Please have a look when you get a chance. Really appreciate it!

[gjh42]

Note: you also want to display the header items inline:

#navEZPagesTop ul li {display: inline;}

You are helping me test the mod, so don't feel bad. We will need to put some debug lines back into the files.

ezpages_improved_menus_functions.php

function active_page_class($ezpid,$alturl) {
  $active = '';
  echo '<br /> current_page='.$current_page_base;//debug
  if($current_page_base == 'page') { 
    echo ' id='.$_GET['id'].' listid='.$ezpid;//debug
    $active = ($_GET['id'] == $ezpid)? ' class="activeEZPage"': '';
  }elseif($alturl) {//check for current page in alturl
    echo ' url='.$_GET['url'].' alturl='.$alturl.' index='.strstr($alturl,'/index.php');//debug
    $active = ((strstr($_GET['url'],$alturl) and (strstr($alturl,'/index.php') != '/index.php')) or ($_GET['url'] == $alturl))?' class="activeILPage"': '';
  }
  return $active;
}
?>
