[howto] Assign active class for 2 sections to a single item in a section_list
I was trying to get Textpattern to generate a section-based navigation list where one of the links was active when browsing two distinct sections. I accidentally deleted the preamble to this when I made some code corrections to the post, but this is the solution I came up with (HTML attributes indented for clarity):
<txp:section_list
break="li"
class="nav-main"
default_title="Home"
include_default="1"
wraptag="ul"
sections="about,articles,news,podcast,subscribe,etc,etc,etc">
<txp:variable name="this-nav-link"><txp:section/></txp:variable>
<a
href="<txp:site_url/><txp:section/>/"<txp:if_section name='<txp:section/>'>
class="active"</txp:if_section><txp:if_variable name="this-nav-link" value="articles"><txp:if_section name="issues">
class="active"</txp:if_section></txp:if_variable>>
<txp:section title="1"/>
</a>
</txp:section_list>There may be even better ways to do this, but I wanted to post this here because the forum’s memory may be longer than mine, and I may need to look this up again.
If there are better ways to make this happen, feel free to break it down!

Memo: href="<txp:site_url/><txp:section/>/" will give undesirable results when linking Home. Use this instead:
href="<txp:site_url/><txp:if_variable name="this-nav-link" value="default"><txp:else/><txp:section/>/</txp:if_variable>"Offline

Nice one!
Mind if I move it to How-tos and Examples?

Els: No problem. I started composing the post before I figured it out— I was posting it here for help!
Jonathan: Sure, I’ll write it up right now.
