Evening folks,

I’m using channel categories to create a menu, which works of a fashion. I need to add and active class to the “a” when the correct entry is open.

{exp:channel:categories channel="project" style="nested" show_empty="no" id="mainNav"}
                  
<a href="http://{path=%27work/details/category/{category_url_title}%27}" title="{category_name}">__{category_name}__</a>

{/exp:channel:categories}

Seems the code strips the conditional…. so insert this in the a tag:

if segment_4 == “category_url_title” class=“active” /if

Sadly the if conditional is not working… any ideas why?

Cheers

It might have something to do with the way the conditional is formatted, but couldn’t see because of the display problem 😊

Have you tried variations?:

{if segment_4 == category_url_title}....
{if segment_4 == "{category_url_title}"}....
{if "{segment_4}" == "{category_url_title}"}....
etc…
