2 questions. Need Help. CSS, Navigation, Permalinks.

question #1

So my site is pretty much done, my navigation being links that go to sections. Right now I am trying to figure out a way to have the css hold the mouse over color of a section so you know where you are.

I was wondering if there is anyway to maybe have a plugin have an id added to the links that css can say.. ok if this is section is WORK, then make the color:#00000; etc…

I have been looking through all the plugins for links, but can’t seem to find anything.

question #2

My website will have sections that are blogs and sections that aren’t. The sections that aren’t I totally stripped down the article styles, so their is no comment stuff of permalinks, but the problem is that I can’t figure out the logic of the sections. To find them manually. What is the logic? Its usually something like section/33/article-name.

Where does that number come from? How can I find the sections?

Ok, I really like textpattern, I am switching from Wordpress. Textpattern is so clean, I love it… I am having a lot of fun.

Thanks everyone in this forum for being so responsive to newbies..

For question #2: it depends upon the permlink mode (admin prefs) you are using. For the one that you appear to be using:

Sections: http://yourdomain.com/section-name
Categories: http://yourdomain.com/category/category-name
Articles: http://yourdomain.com/article’s-section-name/article’s-id-number/article’s-title

For #1, you can use the active property to style an active link.

If you wanted to highlight a div or a span based on section you could do something like:

<code>
<txp:if_section name=“work”>
<style type=“text/css”>#workitem {color:#00000; background-color: #FFFFFF;}</style>
</txp:if_section>
.
.
.
<div id=“menu”>
<span id=“homeitem”>home</span>
<span id=“workitem”>work</span>
.
.
.
</div>
</code>

OK, thanks so much. One more thing, how to you set id’s to links that are made via the content section of Textpattern, since I don’t have the ability to create the id’s myself.

links that are made via the content section of Textpattern

Not sure I understand this, can you elaborate?

The way I am doing my navigation is by having links in a certain category. So my Page is.

“txp:linklist category=“homepage” /”
This doesn’t give me the ability to set individual ID’s.

on this post replace “ with < and the other “ with > I can’t seem to post txp: snipits in the posts.. I tried the “notextile” tag and it didn’t work.

How do I post tags and code on the forum?

If you want individual id’s for the links in your navigation, you’ll have to handcode them. Like this:
<code>
<a id=“id-1” href=”<txp:site_url /><txp:section name=“section-1” />/”><txp:section name=“section-1” title=“1” /></a>
</code>
