CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi guys,

I am running CMSMS 1.6.3. I want to use a truetype font in my menu.

I've edited the included standard simple_navigation.tpl navigation menu, so I can use truetype fonts in the menu through the text embellisher.

I have replaced all instances of

{$node->menutext}

with

{cms_module module="TruetypeText" style="menustyle" text=$node->menutext}

and it works just perfect!

Now, my question is, is there a way for the active/selected menu item to be another color? I will need to edit simple_navigation.tpl, but I don't know how. Maybe it could call another pre-defined embellisher style that uses color, called "menustyleselected"?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards, Jonas

Active is most times called in the if currentpage class of currentpage line in the menu template, since you are using the true type font thing I don't believe it has any color choices iirc it is images not actual text so color:#efgh07 won't do anything...

Yes, you are right. The CSS is probably not going to help in changing the color.

To get another color, I will have to define a new style in the text embellisher, an text embellish with color. Then, in the menu tpl file, I will have to edit the script so that ACTIVE menus are rendered using the new text embellisher style that has color. I just don't know how to do that ...
