I am using MenuBundle to do exactly this. If you follow the
documentation and create a MainMenu class and include it in a
template, then within a controller you can access the menu and tell it
which menu item should be current. This way the current item is set
before the menu is rendered. For example, this might be in a
controller action:
$menu = $this->get('menu.main');
$menu->getChild("MyMenuItem")->setIsCurrent(true);
I do this because i have an action mapped to a long route like this: /
{1}/{2}/{3}/{4} and MenuBundle can't figure out if the menu item
should be current or not.
hope this helps.
