Active class on container tag section list?
The active_class attribute doesn’t work on a section list if in container tag more. Is there a way around this?
<!-- main navigation -->
<div id="nav_main">
<txp:section_list
sections="buddhist-center,weekly-classes,special-events,kadampa-buddhism,public-service,information"
default_title='<txp:text item="home" />' include_default="1" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="tabs" active_class="current">
<txp:section link="1" title="1" />
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' wraptag="ul" sort="position asc">
<li><a href="<txp:permlink />" <txp:if_article_id>class="current"</txp:if_article_id>><txp:title /></a></li>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:section_list>
</div>Last edited by FireFusion (2008-12-06 12:48:30)

Re: Active class on container tag section list?
Thought I found a way but this doesn’t work either…
- <txp:section link="1" title="1" />
+ <a href="<txp:section url="1" />" <txp:if_section name="<txp:section />">class="current"</txp:if_section>><txp:section title="1" /></a>Offline

Re: Active class on container tag section list?
I don’t know why the active class doesn’t work in section_list as container tag, but this works:
<txp:variable name="sec" value='<txp:section />' />
<txp:section_list sections="sec1,sec2,sec3,sec4" default_title='<txp:text item="home" />' include_default="1" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="tabs">
<txp:section link="1" title="1" class='<txp:if_variable name="sec" value=''<txp:section />''>current</txp:if_variable>' />
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' wraptag="ul">
<li><a href="<txp:permlink />"<txp:if_article_id> class="current"</txp:if_article_id>><txp:title /></a></li>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:section_list>No idea why, but it doesn’t even output class="" if it’s not the current section… :)
BTW nice way to build a menu!

Uuummm… is the double right chevron in the first two examples causing the problem?

Re: Active class on container tag section list?
Single quotes with your tag as an attribute might make a difference, the parser is probably just treating the tag as text.
<txp:if_section name="<txp:section />">class="current"...Last edited by rsilletti (2008-12-06 17:11:39)

It wouldn’t have worked with single quotes either, because <txp:section /> is now context sensitive, and inside a section list it returns the ‘current’ section in the list, and not the section currently being viewed.

Re: Active class on container tag section list?
Ok, I’m a little confused – why does it work as expected as an attribute for article custom?

Re: Active class on container tag section list?
Because article_custom is not a section list? Edit: that was not correct. As an attribute in the article_custom tag (in this case) it still is part of the section list, so it returns the section as indicated by the list.
Here is a post by wet that helped me understand it (a bit).

Re: Active class on container tag section list?
Just to be more precise: txp:section was always (pre 4.0.7) context sensitive. Sensitive contexts for that tags were: the currently viewed section, and the currently being rendered article.
Now (4.0.7), there is also a list context (as in txp:section_list).
Mmm, in fact, in the code posted on the first post, it is used as an attribute for article_custom but it’s also in a list (section_list) context, so it would be sensible to the current iteration for section_list.
Edit: Els was faster.

Re: Active class on container tag section list?
Part of the reason I am pursuing this has to do with a plugin I created. Originally it was intended to be a way of getting a clear idea of exactly how these container lists work. Much of the code was patterned after section_list and all seems to work as expected. My problem here is the idea of releasing a plugin whose operation I’m unsure I understand entirely. Every time I think I have it I run into something slippery that doesn’t make sense to me.
