How to make parent link active

[peterpp]

Hi,

  In the menu, i am showing number of parent pages. On hovering on any menu, its child pages gets displayed. When i open any child page i want to show its parent page to be highlighted i.e activated.

Plz guide me.

Something like this:

$search_in_parents = $page->parents->get($current_menu_page);

if( !$search_in_parents->id ) echo "<li>…</li>"; // Not found
else echo "<li class='highlight'></li>"; // Found in Parents

If your childpages are only direct descendants you may use this to check for the one direct parent:

if( $page->parent == $current_menu_page ) echo "It's the first Parent!";

$p = $pages->get(1001); would be the $current_menu_page of my example. If you want to change the class of the corresponding <li> element you would need to declare this variable before you echo this line: "echo "<li class='has-dropdown'>";"

<ul class='left'>

<?php

$menu_page = $pages->get(1001);

if( $page->parent == $menu_page ) echo "<li class='highlight has-dropdown'>";

else echo "<li class='has-dropdown'>";

echo "<a href='$menu_page->url'>$menu_page->title</a>";

?>

<ul class='dropdown'>

<?php

foreach($menu_page->children as $child ){

echo "<li><a href='$child->url'>$child->title</a></li>";

}

?>

<ul>

</li>

</ul>
