Topic: Page won't highlight the correct tab.

[yangtastic]

Hey SP members,

I use SP to add pages to the site.

I can create a new tab and I can link it to the correct tabs but once the page loads up, the tab that is still highlighted is the tab for index.

This is my code at the moment

Action

Code: [Select]

   if (!empty($_REQUEST['test']) && in_array($_REQUEST['test'], array('page3102', 'test')))
      $current_action = $_REQUEST['test'];
Tab

Code: [Select]

            // Show the [test] button.
            echo '<li><a' , $current_action=='page3102' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?page=page3102"><span>Test</span></a></li>';
How can I modify the code so that the page highlights the correct tab when it is selected?

Thanks.

Your code repeats the same errors that I fixed in this post: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=5656.msg33921#msg33921

"$_REQUEST['test']" is a variable that never exists, you need to use "$_REQUEST['page']" (where 'page' is NOT your pages id). You also don't need to have 'test' in the "array('page3102', 'test')" as its not your pages id.

I applied the changes but it hasn't altered the site at all.

The Portal tab and the Test tab still is highlighting the Forum tab.

Could you please attach your index.template.php file?

Hi,

How would you do this for SMF 2.0?  Eg: I have added a Metro Vancouver News tab, but it doesn't get highlighted.
http://www.forumvancouver.com

Also, is there a way to disable certain blocks on the custom pages?

Thank you!

Here's my index.template.php

Code: [Select]

<?php
// Version: 1.1; index

/*   This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
   contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
   the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
   menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
   template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
   the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

   The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

   The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
   should contain anything that should be shown up there.

   The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
   It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

   The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
   in the $context['linktree'] variable.

   The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
   wants and or needs.

/*   This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
   contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
   the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
   menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
   template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
   the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

   The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

   The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
   should contain anything that should be shown up there.

   The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
   It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

   The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
   in the $context['linktree'] variable.

   The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
   wants and or needs.

THIS POST ONLY APPLIES TO SMF 2!

Hi,

How would you do this for SMF 2.0?  Eg: I have added a Metro Vancouver News tab, but it doesn't get highlighted.
http://www.forumvancouver.com

Also, is there a way to disable certain blocks on the custom pages?

Thank you!

The edit is a bit different for SMF 2.

Code: ("Find (Subs.php)") [Select]

if (isset($context['menu_buttons'][$context['current_action']]))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];

Code: ("Replace") [Select]

if (isset($context['menu_buttons'][$context['current_action']]))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];
elseif (!empty($_REQUEST['page']) && in_array($_REQUEST['page'], array('pageid')))
$current_action = $_REQUEST['page'];
That assumes that you have already added the button to the $buttons array (see this tutorial for doing that), and that the array key for your button is the same as the id used in the url (not the title that the page has, nor the text that is displayed on the button tab).

Worked great!  Had some trouble when I didn't know that "page" was supposed to be left as page.

What is the difference between the code you have here and the one you posted in this thread http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=3857.0?

The code in this thread forces you to manually add the page ids into the array within the if statement, while the other one does not. Although for the other code if you have a page with id 'home' or 'forum' then those tabs would be set as current, when viewing those pages. The code in this thread is probably better, if you can be bothered adding each page id into the "array('pageid')" array.

[deansmar]

i have tryed both

Code: [Select]

  elseif (!empty($_REQUEST['page']) && in_array($_REQUEST['page'], array('History', 'pageid2' , 'pageid3' )))
        $current_action = $_REQUEST['page'];

and

Code: [Select]

elseif (empty($context['current_action']) && !empty($_REQUEST['page']) && isset($context['menu_buttons'][$_REQUEST['page']]))     
         $current_action = $_REQUEST['page'];

both codes work very well for the main array, but does not take into account any Sub_Button arrays

would i just have the change the ($context['menu_buttons']
into ($context['sub_buttons']

regards

[deansmar]

the only way that i have found that works at the moment is this

this is for two Sub_Buttons in an Array, this code has been added to the sources\subs.php some time after this line:

Code: [Select]

// Figure out which action we are doing so we can set the active tab.
of course the Page-ID has to be the ID of your page and like wise the Array-ID is the name of the main Array not the name of the sub arrays

Code: [Select]

  elseif (isset($_REQUEST['page']) && $_REQUEST['page'] == 'Page-ID')
    $current_action = 'Array-ID';
  elseif (isset($_REQUEST['page']) && $_REQUEST['page'] == 'Page-ID')
    $current_action = 'Array-ID';


[Nathaniel]

deansmar,
If you are trying to do what I think you are; have multiple pages highlight a certain tab, then try something like the code below:

Code: [Select]

  elseif (!empty($_REQUEST['page']) && in_array($_REQUEST['page'], array('History', 'pageid2' , 'pageid3' )))
        $current_action = 'Array-ID';
Where 'Array-ID' is the id of the main button array, which contains the subbuttons for each of the pages.

[deansmar]

problems all solved, the answers are in this post

i was not to sure wether it was a SP or SMF problem.

thanks for your answer, but by the time i had seen it, i had allready fix my problem my self..

okay silly question from a self taught html student.  How do I set the "id used in the url".  Is it a meta tag?

[deansmar]

i would imagine your talking about the ID's for a page or Tab.??

  'History' => array(                        //Array ID or Array Key
        'title' => 'Company Info',        //Text Tab or Button
        'href' => $scripturl . '?page=History',  //Page ID in the URL
        'show' => true,
        'sp_page' => true,
        'sub_buttons' => array(
        ),

is this what you were looking for ?? it shows the ID in the URL

[cowboytns]

No.  I have my subs.php set up properly.  However, per the quote I extracted from Nathaniel on June 4, I still need to define the "id in the url".  This is for a webpage that is outside of the preset forum pages.   This is the array that I set up in subs.php:

  'brainmush' => array(                        //Array ID or Array Key
        'title' => 'Home',                          //Text Tab or Button
        'href' => 'http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php'?page=brainmush',  //Page ID in the URL
        'show' => true,
        'sp_page' => true,
        'sub_buttons' => array(
        ),

So now on my webpage (http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php) how do I define the "page id" so that the functions in subs.php knows that it should highlight the "home" tab?

If it helps, here is my home page code:

Code: [Select]

<?php

// Load up SSI
require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');

// Set up the page title
$context['page_title'] = 'Brainmush.net';
$context['page_title_html_safe'] = 'Brainmush.net';

// Set up linktree
$context['linktree'][] = array(
  'url' => $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
  
);

// Initialize the template
template_init();

// Load up the headers
template_header();

// Load your template function
template_main();

// Load the template footer
template_footer();

// Set up the main template
function template_main()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

in your URL code you have an ' to many after the home.php should come the questionmark, then it should work.

 'href' => 'http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php?page=brainmush', 

[cowboytns]

Thank you for pointing out the mistake, I was typing the code from memory.  I actually had it correct (as you pointed out)in the subs.php file.  Based on what I am reading from Nathaniel's post, my issue is something to do with the external page (my home page), defining it's id...not the subs.php file.  Refer to my previous post for my home page coding.

[deansmar]

what is not Highlighting ?? what do you actualy mean by homepage ??

i suppose your going from one website, to a different website ?

when copying your URL into a browser and hit enter the home button of your Brainmush.net site is highlighted correct.

which tab do you want to highlight?

the ID's are noramly all defined in the Subs.php

[deansmar]

have you also added in the Subs.php after the line:

   // Figure out which action we are doing so we can set the active tab.   // Default to home.

somthing simular to this

  elseif (isset($_REQUEST['page']) && $_REQUEST['page'] == 'Page-ID')       $current_action = 'Array-ID';

were page-ID would be brainmush
were array-ID would be brainmush

[cowboytns]

what is not Highlighting ??

- The home tab when I am on my homepage http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php

what do you actualy mean by homepage ??

- my homepage is http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php in contrast to the forum home which is http://brainmush.net/forum2/index.php

i suppose your going from one website, to a different website ?

- well sort of...I have pasted my homepage into the forum folders so that I can use the forum theme for my webpage.

when copying your URL into a browser and hit enter the home button of your Brainmush.net site is highlighted correct.

- no the "forum index" tab remains highlighted.

which tab do you want to highlight?

- I want the home tab to highlight.

the ID's are noramly all defined in the Subs.php




this is the code for the first menu item in subs.php:

Code: [Select]

$buttons = array(
'brainmush' => array(
'title' => $txt['home'],
'href' => 'http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php?page=brainmush',
'show' => true,
                                'sp_page' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
// 'target' => '_blank',
),

This is what is written after //Figure our which action we are doing...

Code: [Select]

// Figure out which action we are doing so we can set the active tab.
// Default to home.
$current_action = 'home';

if (isset($context['menu_buttons'][$context['current_action']]) && empty($context['menu_buttons'][$context['current_action']]['sp_page']))
      $current_action = $context['current_action'];
   elseif (empty($context['current_action']) && !empty($_REQUEST['page']) && isset($context['menu_buttons'][$_REQUEST['page']]))
      $current_action = $_REQUEST['page'];
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['page']) && $_REQUEST['page'] == 'Page-ID')       $current_action = 'Array-ID';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
$current_action = 'search';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'theme')
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'pick' ? 'profile' : 'admin';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'register2')
$current_action = 'register';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'login2' || ($user_info['is_guest'] && $context['current_action'] == 'reminder'))
$current_action = 'login';

$context['menu_buttons'][$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>]';
}
}

my hompage coding is on reply number 16

Any ideas?

Thanks

[deansmar]

yes lots of ideas..

your URL is : http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php?page=brainmush

and not just :  http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php

the home tab will only highlight if the page action is called

as i said, if you copy your URL into a browser http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php?page=brainmush
your home page tab will highlight, which shows the fault lyies in your Subs.php


in your Subs.php you have not changed the Page-ID for branmush and you have not changed the Array-ID for branmush..

the line should look like this:

elseif (isset($_REQUEST['page']) && $_REQUEST['page'] == 'brainmush') //page-id
       $current_action = 'brainmush'; // Array-ID

[cowboytns]

Can you tell that it just got a little brighter in the room cause the light bulb just turned on!  I see what you are talking about now.  I misread what Nathaniel was saying, I thought he meant that somewhere in the coding of my homepage I had to define a page id...however, as you have pointed out here the page id is identified in the url itself.  Sorry I'm a little slow at this coding stuff. 

So I will redifine all of my links to load the url: http://brainmush.net/forum2/home/php?page=brainmush.  When I did that the home tab is highlighted when I go to the page.  I have also fixed the subs.php file per your suggestion as well.

Thank you so much for your help.

[deansmar]

i am by far no code brain...

its just that i had a simular problem, that i sorted my self with a little bit of reading of other posts.

it just supprises me that you are not using Simple Portal, but yet you have posted here.

all your answers are also ready available on the SMF forum, under this post.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=357796

but its nice to see you have understood, how the Subs.php works, hope the light stays on for a while longer.

you might want to change the Array concerning the "News Links" so that tab highlights when selecting one of the Sub arrays, its all explaind in the above link.
