navigation and conditionals
Development and Programming
I’m running v2.6.1 - Build: 20130506 -. I apologize in advance, but it has been while since I worked on a Expression site. I’m having trouble with dynamic navigation and simple conditionals (sorry I’m also having trouble with my conditional code showing up in this post. {if segment_1==""} is after the a tag as are the rest) I changed categories to readings.
<nav class="group" role="navigation">
<ul id="nav" class="group">
<li><a href="/class=active"><strong>now</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="/articles/class=active"><strong>desk</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="/book-readings/readings/class=active"><stong>books</stong></a></li>
<li><a href="/shelf/readingsclass=active"><strong>shelf</strong></a></li>
</ul>
</nav>When I inspect the code in the browser, the conditional code shows up? I also noticed that the end tag doesn’t show {/if} i.e.
<a href="/articles/%22if=%22" class="active"><strong>articles</strong></a>I run into this problem before, and the suggested solution was using a plugin. I’d rather not do that.
You need to post your template code. Take a look at the tutorials on building navigation on Train-EE site. They got me started in the right direction.
I’m now working on two tutorials on possible ways to create dynamic menus in EE without plugins and complexity.
I have my tutorial posted: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/237299/
Thanks for the response. I’m looking over that page you sent. Yeah, I tried to post the template code, but every time I posted, the form removed that code. For anyone checking this thread, I’ve decided not to use the plugin switchee because it’s used for complex conditionals, not simple.
Did you wrap the CODE tags around your EE template tag when posting?
Yes, I did, a few times.
