keeping the menu up-state

[kweku]

hi,

i would like to know how i can keep the Top menu item selected even when i select a sub-menu item from that category.

on this page: http://insight-design-group.com/CMSimpl ... ng_started

you can see i have selected the page 'getting started' which is the sub-menu item from the category ' About CMSimple SE & stuff '

how do i keep ' About CMSimple SE & stuff ' highlighted or ANY top menu item even if i select a sub-menu item under those top level items.

hope this makes sense to someone out there....

In your CMSimple configurations there is an input field asigned as "menu_sdoc:". Add the word "parent" to the input field and save. That's it. It is described in: http://www.cmsimple.com/?Installer%27s_ ... figuration.

No change.

Then you may have made a mistake. Have you pushed the SAVE button?
Which CMSimple version do you use? I don't know very much about the SE version of CMSimple-styles.com. Your HTML source code still says:

Code: Select all

li class="docs"

which means, that something is not working. It should say:

Code: Select all

li class="sdocs"

if I press the link you quoted above.
Have you read the notes at http://www.cmsimple.com/?Installer%27s_ ... figuration, which I mentioned above????

Should work, i changed nothing in my SE version about this behavior. Maybe try my advanced toc script it also has this feature built in.

guys im a bit confused...

ive loaded a test from scratch: http://insight-design-group.com/cmsimple32

i have also changed the sdoc to parent in this on too but still it is not working at all? when i select say a sub-menu item i wanted the TOP menu item to be selected as well as the sub-menu item but nothing has changed?

what am i missing. perhaps im not explaining myself clearly enough. This is a standard version of cmsimple.....

here: http://insight-design-group.com/cmsimpl ... H3_heading
you can see the H3 heading is highlighted, fine, but i also wanted the parent item ( How to create pages ) to also stay selected.

very frustrating

by the way, password is test to this site.

ill probably get a better template with a horizontal drop down menu - to better illustrate the issue.

sorry guys i can confirm its now working, just like you said it would....

i guess i have to figure out what exactly has changed with my installation of SE and the template im using - this is going to be a real headache as i have made quite a few customizations.

[kweku]

its not over yet!...

just tried the same template in the cmsimpleSE version and as you can see.

the menu highlight is not working as it did in the standard cmsimple 3.2.....
