Pagematch Problem


Poster: Paul123
Dated: Wednesday October 8 2008 - 4:50:21 BST

Hello,

I would appreciate any help with the following. Let's say I have a page named sample.php that might also have variables passed to it, such as sample.php?cat=1

I want the menu entry labelled "Sample" to be highlighted whenever the current page is either sample.php or sample.php?cat=1. I tried using pagematch but that didn't seem to work. Here is what I have:

aI("text=Sample ;url=sample.php;pagematch=sample.php;");

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you,
Paul

Hi,

Try this link and go down to the pagematch property. There is an explanation and it talks about different page urls much like what you want.

Thanks for the reply, but I've already tried that. That example produces three instances of "Home", which is not what I'm looking for. In the Quick Reference example, I would want one instance of "Home", but highlighted whenever the URL contains index.php?cat=10.

Hi,

There is a style or item property called regexmatch. Now, it says that it "will force a pagematch upon any link regardless of query string or hash value" I have asked how to use it, but since there is nothing listed with it, I think you might try to put it in that item and see what happens while I wait for a response :) I'm just guessing here but since it has no explanation and is either a style or property item, I figured that maybe it might be regexmatch=1; or true [just a guess]

Hi,

Well, my guess was wrong. The regexmatch is a 'text' match so you would use it in the item and it would be regexmatch=sample.php, this should make a match whether the url shows sample.php or sample.php?cat=1.
