related articles active class

Any chance of an active class attribute for <code><txp:related_articles /></code> please. As this tag can be use to produce an article nav list it would be very useful.

Cheers, Lee

edit – be nice to have this for recent artles as well.

As far a related_articles go, you should never have the same article appearing in the list as the one being viewed. I think this is what happens in 4.0.3, but has been fixed in svn.

For recent_articles, Textpattern couldn’t know what article you’re looking at, because you typically don’t use it in a article form, but in a page. While you could work around this with conditional tag trickery, that seems like it would just be confusing?

You’re right in 4.04 that’s how it works, but having navagational menu items dissapear from a nav list when they are clicked seem contary to what I think most people would expect. Most nav’s I’ve ever seen highlight the current navagational menu selection. But I can see the reasoning in the way it works now, articles aren’t related to themselves so shouldn’t be in the list.

I guess what I’m after is a simple, built in, way to mark as active the current article from a list of articles in a given section.

It’s not meant to be used as a navigation menu, hence it’s expected output it different. It sounds like what you actually want to use is article_custom.
