I have the following code in my template which adds the class of ‘current’ to the current page:

{if {category_id} == '<?php echo $cat_id ?>'}
    <li class="current"><a href="/{segment_1}/?cat_id={category_id}">{category_name}</a></li>

{if:else}
    <li><a href="/{segment_1}/?cat_id={category_id}">{category_name}</a></li>
{/if}

Im maintaining this site but I didn’t build it. Ive modified the site and I need to use this code in a few different places, so ive put it in a template embed. The links still work but the ‘current’ class is never added. Thanks

Hello James,

Let’s see if we can get this sorted out. First, have you ensured that PHP is turned on for the embedded template? If you give a little more detail about what you are trying to achieve, we may be able to suggest ways you can do this strictly with ExpressionEngine tags.

Cheers,

This code is at the top of the page im moving the menu from, when I added it to the embed template it worked fine:

<?php
    $this->EE =& get_instance();
    
    $cat_id = $this->EE->input->get('cat_id') ? $this->EE->input->get('cat_id') : '';
?>

Thanks

James,

Just making sure, you are all set then?

Is there anything else we can assist you with?

Cheers,

Yeah its working fine. Thanks
