detecting article id?

i am making a website with the following sections:

1. Artist Statement
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. Contact

They all use the Section, Page and Form called “Information” because they are formated almost exactly the same. At the bottom of each page, there are buttons to the other pages.

My question is this: How can I hide the button for the current page?

Can I write a PHP statement that says “if article id = current id, then hide this button”? How would that be done?

OR, do I have to make a different form for each page, and include the buttons within that form?

Thanks!!

Re: detecting article id?

There’s a heap of navigation plugins that have solved this wheel before — I like Adrian’s ako_nav, there’s also Johan’s glx_hilite_current which is more flexible

You could do it yourself if you like. Try:

<txp:php>
	global $thisarticle;
	global $pretext;
	if ($pretext["id"] == $thisarticle["thisid"])
		return 'yep, this is the current article";
</txp:php>

$pretext[‘s’] is the current section, so on and so forth.

Re: detecting article id?

if_article_id should work if you have version 4.0.4 TXP.
