Specifying classes for different types of ul's?

Hi

I would like to be able to assign a "current" class to the currently active <ul> so that I would be able to target all sibling <li>’s to the currently active one. I really can’t figure out how to do this with only css, and I don’t want to use js.

What I mean is that the <ul> that contains the <li> with the &selfClass gets a &currentUlClass. I guess it would work if the sibling <li>’s got a similar class instead, but I think the <ul> class would be better.

If anyone’s got another way to solve my problem I would appreciate a push in the right direction.

By default WF will assign a ’active’ class to the active menu item and it’s parents. You can alter this behavior by changing the &hereClass=`current` so that instead of active it will be current.

If you have custom tpl chunks you need to add the [+wf.classes+] placeholder where you want the class information to show up. You could also edit the innerTpl to use a custom class as well by adding it to the tpl chunk. Here is an example of a outerTpl with the classes placeholder:

But the active class applies to parents and grandparents and so on all the way to the top. I want something that works exactly as the &selfClass but for <ul>’s. It should apply only to the <ul> that contains the currently active <li> and nothing else.

I kind of fixed it with an ugly hack. I put this code:



Between the lines



and



in the function buildSubMenu() in wayfinder.inc.php. It’s around line 123.

It’s nothing fancy, but it seems to work.

Glad you got it working.
