active class for custom navigation

Hello there,

I've just installed CMSMS for the first time and am enjoying using it so far.

I had already built my site with HTML/CSS, so have been making it all dynamic and marvellous. I had a little problem when it came to the menu, so I just hardcoded the links in. Not really a big issue. This is though, seeing as I only have one navigation, I can't use an active class on my navigation.

I tried to set up a little PHP script to sort this (as a UDT) but it wasn't working.

I tried something like:

if ({sitename} == 'home') echo 'class="home"';

but no joy.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Your are trying to redesign the wheel!

you can“t use smarty tags along with php code. You should try to learn the menu manager customization, with im simple and easy.

You can access smarty properties with PHP, just take a look and the gCms object(google it)
