Topic: Custom menu tabs are not highlighted

[thesikaleon]

I made some custom pages and I made some custom tabs following this guide http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=261880.0


When I'm on the custom page the tab is not highlighted, but its the Home tab highlighted.

What i should change?


check for yourself here http://battleforge.gr
Custom tabs are Chat, Contact and Speedtest
thanks for your time

That tutorial does tell you how to add custom tabs. It does not tell you how to handle the highlighting.
First, you have to figure out some way to figure out when you are on that page.
For example, if you are at page=LocalChapters, then you know you are on that page when $context['current_action'] is page and the value of $_REQUEST['page'] is LocalChapters. This sort of thing you would add to the part of function setupMenuContext() where you see all the current_action stuff going on already.
There are some mods available at SimpleMachines.org to help manage menu buttons for you. They may do exactly what you want, or you may be able to look at the code and learn more about how to do it yourself.
Good Luck!

I think this will work:

./Sources/Subs.php

Code: (Find) [Select]

$current_action = 'moderate';

Code: (Replace) [Select]

$current_action = 'moderate';
elseif (isset($_GET['page']) && empty($context['SPortal']['page']['id']) && $context['SPortal']['page']['page_id'] == 'chat')
$current_action = 'chat';
elseif (isset($_GET['page']) && empty($context['SPortal']['page']['id']) && $context['SPortal']['page']['page_id'] == 'contact')
$current_action = 'contact';
elseif (isset($_GET['page']) && empty($context['SPortal']['page']['id']) && $context['SPortal']['page']['page_id'] == 'speedtest')
$current_action = 'speedtest';

It seems its the right part of code I need to change but it doesnt work


here is my subs.php

Code: [Select]

// Figure out which action we are doing so we can set the active tab.
// Default to home.
$current_action = $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 3 && empty($context['standalone']) && empty($context['disable_sp']) ? 'forum' : 'home';

if (isset($context['menu_buttons'][$context['current_action']]))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
$current_action = 'search';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'theme')
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'pick' ? 'profile' : 'admin';
elseif(empty($context['disable_sp']) && ((isset($_GET['board']) || isset($_GET['topic']) || in_array($context['current_action'], array('unread', 'unreadreplies', 'recent', 'stats', 'who'))) && in_array($modSettings['sp_portal_mode'], array(1, 3))))
$current_action = 'forum';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'register2')
$current_action = 'register';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'login2' || ($user_info['is_guest'] && $context['current_action'] == 'reminder'))
$current_action = 'login';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'groups' && $context['allow_moderation_center'])
                $current_action = 'moderate';
        elseif (isset($_GET['page']) && empty($context['SPortal']['page']['id']) && $context['SPortal']['page']['page_id'] == 'chat')
                $current_action = 'chat';
        elseif (isset($_GET['page']) && empty($context['SPortal']['page']['id']) && $context['SPortal']['page']['page_id'] == 'contact')
                $current_action = 'contact';
        elseif (isset($_GET['page']) && empty($context['SPortal']['page']['id']) && $context['SPortal']['page']['page_id'] == 'speedtest')
                $current_action = 'speedtest';

$context['menu_buttons'][$current_action]['active_button'] = true;

if (!$user_info['is_guest'] && $context['user']['unread_messages'] > 0 && isset($context['menu_buttons']['pm']))
{
$context['menu_buttons']['pm']['alttitle'] = $context['menu_buttons']['pm']['title'] . ' [' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . ']';
$context['menu_buttons']['pm']['title'] .= ' [<strong>' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . '</strong>]';
}
}

ok I made it work 

Code: [Select]

  elseif ($_REQUEST['page'] == 'speedtest')
      $current_action = 'speedtest';
  elseif ($_REQUEST['page'] == 'contact')
      $current_action = 'contact';
  elseif ($_REQUEST['page'] == 'chat')
      $current_action = 'chat';
