Frog CMS

Hi David —

Just for clarity’s sake, “Apples”, “Oranges” and “Plums” are all level 2 in Frog, since “Fruit” is level 1, and only [Root] is level 0.

Is it only level 2 you’re after? (i.e., they will always be child pages to child-of-root pages)

It is possible that this will do the job for you. It’s a mashup of some find-level-1-pages code, and the sidemenu code that crusnac was just looking for:

<?php foreach($this->find('/')->children() as $topPage): ?>
<?php if (in_array($topPage->slug, explode('/', $this->url))) { $thisPage = $topPage->slug; } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<ul>
<?php
   if (count($this->find($thisPage)->children()) > 0 && $this->level > 0) {
     foreach($this->find($thisPage)->children() as $menu): ?>
       <li<?php echo (url_start_with($menu->url)) ? ' class="current"': null; ?>><?php echo $menu->link(); ?></li>
     <?php endforeach;
   }
?>
</ul>

It’s a bit of a mess :) but I guess the thing to do is put it in a snippet, then call the snippet in the layout (it needs to be in the layout to work). It gives you a class="current" on the <li> tag when you’re anywhwere in the tree belonging to “Apples”, for example. (You’ll see what I mean!)

Hope that helps.

Hmm… That means the conditions are failing for some reason. (Doh!) Is the site live? or localhost development?

Are you up for a quick online chat about this? If so, shoot me a note at madebyfrog at gmail etc.

funny, i was just working on a similar problem, but trying to figure it in another direction…. see my post here, oh and maybe you can fix what’s wrong with it? ;-)
