Hello there,
I have the following problem. Here's my template fragment; it defines a
menu:
<ul>
<li>mushrooms</li>
<li>cheese</li>
<li>tomatoes</li>
<li>onion</li>
</ul>
Now, I'd like to be able to highlight one item in some templates, and
another item in other templates. Only the templates know what should be
highlighted. To do that, I'd like to define a class="selected" for that
item, so that the output will be for example:
<ul>
<li>mushrooms</li>
<li>cheese</li>
<li class="selected">tomatoes</li>
<li>onion</li>
</ul>
Now, I'd like to write the menu only once and then use it the following
way:
{% declare menuselection tomatoes %}
{% include "menu" %}
The menu would have been defined as follows:
<ul>
<li {% ifequal menuselection "mushrooms" %} class="selected" {%
endifequal %}>mushrooms</li>
<li {% ifequal menuselection "tomatoes" %} class="selected" {%
endifequal %}>tomatoes</li>
<li {% ifequal menuselection "cheese" %} class="selected" {%
endifequal %}>cheese</li>
<li {% ifequal menuselection "onion" %} class="selected" {%
endifequal %}>onion/li>
</ul>
A couple of questions: does anyone have a better idea how to do it?
And, of course, the declare tag does not exists - is there a way of
defining a variable from within a template?
Thanks,
Jiri
