TOPIC: Highlighting Top Menu And Side Menu

Highlighting Top Menu And Side Menu 14 years, 10 months ago #10301

Hi
I had an issue with highlighting selected Top Menu, I did solve this by adding the MenuID as ItemID under Manage SEF URLs in artio.

This fixed the top menu issue, when I tried this on the side menu it is either the side menu that is highlighted or the top menu that is highlighted but not both.

Top highlighted but not corresponding side menu.

wk2010.webkonsepter.com/webshop/proff-webside/webdesign "Choose webdesign from side"

Side menu highlighted but not corresponding top menu

wk2010.webkonsepter.com/proff-webside/joomla-webside "Choose Pakke Sammenligning"

Please advice.

Regards

Hello,

I don't think this is possible, because only one menu item can be selected in Joomla at once. The only way there can be more than one menu item selected is using the Alias, so you have one menu item created like usual and the other menu item is Alias to the first menu item.

Hi
I totally understand what you are hinting at but I am wondering if there is a workaround, as I had templates that used to achieve my desired needs usin sh404sef "Not to say I am NOT happy I switched."

Hello,

JoomSEF currently doesn't implement any feature that would allow this without using Aliases in the menus. We'll take a closer look at this in some future version.

Hi
But still using Aliases, I can only give one alias to a menu item, however if there are multiple menu entries in the side menu this would not work.

Or if the side menu has to appear under multiple main menu entries.

Hi,

You can create as many Aliases as you want for each menu item. Maybe there is a misunderstanding - I mean Alias as a menu item type: when you're creating new menu item, instead of using Article or some component, you can create an Alias menu item type, which points to some other menu item. That way, both of them get selected when either of them is clicked.
