Making Parent Item use OnClass when child is on screen but hidden from Menu

Hi,

Is it possible to make the Parent LI item of a child use the ON class even when the child article is hidden from menu?

My scenario is that I have a Blog section, so I use a Wayfinder nav to create the site's primary navigation and included in this is the BLOG item - I don't want all the blog posts to list as children in the menu (e.g. as a dropdown (I am using CSS to show/hide child UL on rollover etc)) - but what I do want, is that when you view the child BLOG article - then I want the Parent BLOG item in the primary nav to render using the ON class?

Is this possible?

Hard to articulate the situation I have - does this make sense?

This is the Wafinder snippet call:

May be the &hereClass could do what you are looking for.
Have a look into

hi,

actually, i think it's more the activeClass job as it applies to all the current page parents if there is
the hereClass applies only on the ressource you're currently viewing if i remember well

have swing

&activeClass CSS declaration was what was missing - I was not using the in-built WF Class code snippets as was self declaring the CSS in my TPLs - adding these back to the parent TPL made it work - then just added in an active CSS selector and styled up and bang all good.

Thanks guys!
