[Solved] make active menu item a link

[Shanma]

Hi,

I am using the {menu} tag to display menus and I'm having a problem with the active menu item.

The active menu item isn't recognised as a link and therefore doesn't inherit the css style of 'a' or even 'a:active'. Instead it has the default formatting of 'h3'.

I can change the style for h3 but this is not ideal as it still doesn't act like a link (I want it to react like other menu items on hover).

My question is, how can I make the active menu item a link so that it will use the same styles as other menu items?

Thank you.

Use a custom menu template or use minimal_menu.tpl...

Look at bold words below \/ on how to do it if not sure...

True, it takes just a little bit of reading the help files in most cases.

Just to get you started:

Code: Select all

{if $node->current == true} 
<a href=......

{/if}

There you go.

Thank you, specifying the template as minimal_menu.tpl did the trick.

Just a question: if no template is specified in the tag which template is used?

I believe...

simple_navigation.tpl
