Nav menu help, php issue

[mington]

Hi

I'm creating a site in actinic for the first time, my main nav has roll overs and an on state.

http://www.paramountbathrooms.com/index.html

I've outsourced the work to a web developer friend of mine.

He's been trying to write php to make the menu tab stay appear on when you are in the section. but he's been having a bit of trouble.

i quote:"Yeh it is impossible to tell what page you are on using PHP because it doesn't display the correct $_SERVER variables."

Is there any way of creating a menu that has on states

Any help would be gratefully received!

No need for php at all, have a bodyID and set the ID per section via a new variable you setup, then via css style the link via the body tag, style will only kick in when on that page then.

i've given up on that one for now.

can anyone help me stop a section from appearing in a section link list

please, i'm getting no where today

Wrap the section link layout in a blockif that evaluates whether a new variable you have set (let's call it "InclueInSectionList" for example) is set to true. Set it to false on the one you don't want to show.

thank you very much, i knew it would involve a blockif. i have yet to venture into block if territory, it time to get my feet wet

Read Gabe's tutorials, you can't do sod all in V8 or V9 (of any note) without using these.

I've only gone and bloody done it!!!!!!!!

i used five different menu fragment layouts/selectors on five different overall site page layouts.

I had a moment of divine intervention

Thank you for the help

[leehack]

Hmm nice one, but it could have all been done in one overall layout really, so you maintain just one, not 5 layouts. Multiple page layouts are a dog to maintain, best to avoid if you can.

Unless of course 5 different designs were required, i very much doubt it though tbh.
