Highlight Currently Selected Category Background

[zapme1]

I don't recall which thread I posted that info in, or when - can you point to it? The sidebox does not now have any identifier for current category. I would need to see probably the module file for the sidebox to know what code would work there.

The code you posted to hide a category link is in post #10 in this thread!

The sidebox mod is called Editable Sideboxes. The Support Thread is here!

I've simply used a direct link to each sub-category that I've added to the editable sidebox. The main file to edit I've renamed to "reference_sidebox.php", and the whole file code is below...

<?php

  // test if box should display
  $show_reference_sidebox = true;

  // $define_sidebox_ref = zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/html_includes/', DEFINE_REFERENCE_SIDEBOX_NAME, 'false');

if ($current_page_base['path'] == '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_56">') {
	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_56"><span class="box-body">2011 Code Books & Tabs</span></a>';
	}else{
	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_56">2011 Code Books & Tabs</a>';
	}
	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_57">Solar Photovoltaic Sys.</a>';

	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_61">Estimating & Business Books</a>';
	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_62">Elect. Calculation Books</a>';
	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_63">NEC Article Books / DVDs</a>';
	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_64">Elect. Theory Books / DVDs</a>';
	$define_sidebox_ref[] = '<a href="http://www.ohio-electrical-training.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=18_65">Understanding The NEC</a>';

  if ($show_reference_sidebox == true) {
      require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_reference_sidebox.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_reference_sidebox.php');
      $title =  BOX_HEADING_REFERENCE_SIDEBOX;
      $title_link = false;
      require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
 }
?>

You can see in the code above that I made an attempt to use an "if" statement to highlight the box, but it did nothing!

Thanks for your help!
