[web2py] Re: Menus and Selected Tab
A fix for what?

[web2py] Re: Menus and Selected Tab
I would be interested in having this work as well. Was there ever a fix for
this?

Thanks.

If you're using respone.menu to build your menu and in line with

you could replace the second item (the boolean value)in the tuple with

In this way web2py automatically add to li tag (your menu tab) the
class=web2py-menu-active. So in .css file you can customize it.
For example (I'm using default w2p application welcome):
### in menu.py (welcome app models folder) ###
response.menu = [
(T('Home'), False, URL('default','index'), [])
]
becomes
response.menu = [
(T('Home'), (request.function=='index'), URL('default','index'), [])
]
### in layout.html (welcome app views folder ###
change this
{{=MENU(response.menu,_class='sf-menu')}}
to
{{=MENU(response.menu,_class='sf-menu',li_active=tab_highlighted)}}
li_active allows to change default class web2py-menu-active to your
preference. In the above example tab_highlighted.
### in base.css (welcome app static/css subfolder)
append the css rule
.web2py-menu-active a, .tab_highlighted a{color:red}
Ciao.

Sorry, I tried it, but it didn't work.

[web2py] Re: Menus and Selected Tab
This is all very messy. I think I'll just leave well enough alone.
Pity, though.
I'm quite surprised at how poorly thought-out the Superfish menu
system is.

So to figure out the active path in model/menu.py all i need is
active_path = request.controller
Then the menu items are constructed with a True False in the second item of
the tuple using logic like this on each item.
response.menu+=[
(MAP, True if active_path == 'map' else False, URL(c='map',

MAP = T('Map') to allow translation to fill out a missing part of the above

I realize this has some limitations such as forcing a top level menu item
and a controller name to be connected but I was willing to accept that..
[web2py] Re: Menus and Selected Tab
If you are using superfish menus in views/layout.html hee is what I did.
I changed
script type=text/javascript
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('ul.sf-menu').superfish();});
/script
to be
script type=text/javascript
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('ul.sf-menu').superfish({pathClass:
'web2py-menu-active'});});
/script
Really only a parameter addition in third line, extra lines are there to add
context.
Then look for the superfish.css file for the selector
.sf-menu a:focus, .sf-menu a:hover, .sf-menu a:active {
if you want a different color than the default.

[web2py] Re: Menus and Selected Tab
I tried that (though I didn't bother to change the default color).
Doesn't seem to work - the active menu still isn't highlighted.
