Hello,

So I have a dynamic sidebar navigation with a certain channel’s entries, and I’m trying to figure out how to add class=‘current’ to the current page’s navigation item.

Here’s what I have:

<ul>
     {exp:channel:entries channel="products" dynamic="off" orderby="title" sort="asc"}
            <li}><a href="http://{path=products/{url_title}}">{title}</a></li>
     {/exp:channel:entries}
     <ul>

I thought I could add a class for the current page by using the {url_title} tag, like this:

<li {if segment_2 == '{url_title}'}class="current"{/if}><a href="http://{path=products/{url_title}}">{title}</a></li>

But that didn’t work, I assume because the URL Title is parsed after the if statement.

Can you suggest a way of making this work? Thanks!

Unifusion,

Note that it is dynamic=“no” and the URL title usually resides on segment_3 unless you are rolling your own URLs

Try this

<li {if url_title == "{segment_2}"}class="current"{/if}><a href="http://{path=products/{url_title}}">{title}</a></li>

Yup, worked like a charm! If we’ve learned anything from Star Trek, it’s that reversing the polarity always fixes the problem, right? 😊 Thanks, John.

Glad John Henry helped, Unifusion!
