Bug in menu snippets??

Hi to all, I’m writing here because it’s a so strange behaviour that I suspect it’s not a bug, but something I’m not doing right.

In short: when you are navigating on a page that has children, that page is alweys an anchor instead of being a text of "here" class.

It’s strange because this misbehaviour is consistent with all menu snippets I tried. Now DropMenu is on.

I report some PMs I had with Zi:

Hi Zi. Thank you very much for your response.

That page was already working. It’s apparently when a page has its own children that doesn’t work (except the home) like http://www.dev3.net/minimal-base/cipo/ and http://www.dev3.net/minimal-base/cipo/due/.

I am sorry Cino, I am clue-less here

In my opinion its time to report a bug in bug tracker and initiate a topic in forums. Include this correspondence also (except access to site).

Good luck.

I have a problem that the .here class is not generated for the active item but only for it parents and grandparents. even when i call Dropmenu like this [!DropMenu!] the active menu item does NOT get a .here class only the parent or grandparent of that item.

Dimmy, I have that problem with other menu snippets too.

To all:
Please check these two pages and try to navigate (they are nonsense text, but it appears visible soon what I’m talking about):

http://www.dev3.net/minimal-base/cipo/

http://www.dev3.net/minimal-base/cipo/due/

In other words: in DropMenu "here" class is not generated if a page has children.

Is this a bug?

It looks like when you set the parameter selfaslink in the snippet call (or in the snippet itself) that there is also no .here clas generated for the active menu item.

looks like a bug to me

any one else got this problem?

The self as link not having a class is an intended behavior, actually, as you can style LIs separately from As separably from LI.here As.

sow how would I style the active menu item when there is no class asigned to that item?
When selfaslink is false then there is a .here class for this li but when i want it to be a link (or a folder containing content itself and have children) and set it to true then there is no class at all for the active document or folder.
only when i select a child from that folder the folder gets a .here class but the active document gets nothing.

Ok, so this is an intended behavoiur. Anyway I wrote an hack to overcome this problem Dimitri is talking about.

The risult is this hack

You can find some info in this message.

Hope this help.
