Hi Hannah.

I missed a "if" in my code. Could you try:

as the first line?

Thanks!

I get this: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /homepages/31/d271660971/htdocs/CMSB/napton_teamList.php on line 107

How would you suggest I hardcode these pages into the templates - the navigation is controlled by the CMSB. Would I just add it after the CMSB code in my page and take it out of the category menu system in the admin panel so it's it's own record?

Hi Hannah

What kind of syntax errors were you getting? What I think you need to do is replace this bit if code:

with all this:

If you use a line counter, the code starts on line 104 of napton_teamList.php

We'll figure out the other page after this one. If this all ends up still not working, another way to get it done might be to just hardcode the link to this page onto your templates.

Let me know how you make out :).

Very frustrating! Tried that and adding similar bits of code and just get various syntax errors or it colours all to the current colour! Any more ideas lol?

Hi Hannah

I think I am back on track here :).

What I think you can do on team_list is something like this. Where you see "" replace that with:

The reason nothing was happening before is because on the team list page, there was no code telling the current link to change colour.

Give this a shot and let me know how you make out :).

Hi Ross,

I'm confused too! Here are the links:
http://www.arcschoolsuk.com/CMSB/napton_teamList.php
http://www.arcschoolsuk.com/CMSB/napton_teamDetail.php

All the other pages in that navigation bar display a "current" colour when on.
Pages attached.

Thanks!

Hi Hannah

I don't quite get it. I though you were just doing comparisons on that number and not displaying. Could you post a link and attach you page for me again?

Thanks!

Hi Ross,

I tried that but it then displays numbers 1 to 6 instead of the page title in the navigation. Any ideas?

Hi Hannah.

You can get the code right from your generator :). I imagine your categories are being displayed as a list viewer so the record number will be something like:

$record['num'];

And your article page is a detail viewer so the record number will be something like

$church_endRecord['num']

try working with those :).

I guess! So how would I do what you suggested in the post above:
"if name from url = the name we are showing in the navigation, change its style"

Thanks!

Hi

The number at the end there is always a record number. I think your nation.php pages are category menus right? So the the number at the end is the category record number.

On your detail page, it has Head-Teacher-5 at the end so the record is number 5.

It should still work. Technically, on that last link, the text you see there is just to help make the URL more readable. You could actually do something like

napton_teamDetail.php?I-AM-ROSS-5 and the same article would show up because you still have that 5 at the end.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Hi Ross,

The url's for the pages end in:
/napton.php?1, napton.php?2 etc (so numbered depending where the put the pages in the CMSB list)

Until you get to the teamList/teamDetail page where it is: napton_teamList.php/napton_teamDetail.php?Head-Teacher-5.

Would this have any effect?

Hi there.

I didn't actually notice your last post was a question. I thought you had it all figured out and were just curious if there might be another way to do it.

What I am thinking is that the name up in your URL is probably going to be the same as this variable on your page: $church_endRecord['title']

So we could just do something like,

if name from url = the name we are showing in the navigation, change its style

Does that sound like it would work? Let me know what you think :).

The navigation is controlled by the CMS Builder so that the client can add pages which will be included in the navigation and not have to come back to me at any point. I'm not sure that there is another 'easy' way that I could do this! But let me know if you think there is.

Have you considered doing this with CSS? It is much easier than trying to do it via CMS Builder and/or PHP. Here's an article that explains the basics:

Hi Ross,

I have been using the code to style the 'current' page and it is all working well except for (again) when you get to those difficult team list pages and the detail page. Is there something I will need to tweak here?

This is the code to style the menu:

I will attach the page it's not working on, would be really really helpful if someone could have a look for me! This is what it is supposed to be doing:

Thanks in advance!

Hi Hannah

That code would need to go right before where you display the category name.

 
 

CATEGORY NAME

Make sure to put in that after your category name or everything will go bold :).

Thanks Ross!

Where would this sort of thing need to go? I've tried putting it at difference places within the breadcrumb code but get different errors everytime like undefined variables etc! Should it specifically go within a part of the code that is working?

Hi Hannah

I think what you are going to be looking for here is the _isSelected option. You can do tests on it like this:

You might need to play with that a bit to get the right effect.

Let me know what you think.

If statement to style navigation/current page

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:48:13 -0700
I'm trying to work out a way of styling some navigation so that when the viewer is on a pagel, the page in the navigation displays in a colour.

The breadcrumb navigation is built to display titles of sections on certain pages - Ross helped me code this - but because these are not part of the HTML and are generated by the CMSB, I'm not sure how to get what I need.

The code I'm using is like this:

Anyone know of an If statement or something I can add so that the current page displays in a colour?

Any help/ideas/suggestions would be brilliant!
Hannah
