Hello all

I have used this method before but for some reason I cannot get it to work with EE. I will explain bit by bit and hopefully someone can offer some help.

In the header I would add this:

<?php
//Set up nav strings
$news = $proj = $excel = $who = $care = $cont = “”;
?>

On the Projects page, I would add this at the top of the page but after the header:
<?php $proj = “thisPage”; ?>

In the link on the navigation, I would add:
<a class=”<?php echo $proj ?>”>Projects</a>

Weirdly, EE simply states that an undeclared variable exists in the href. This works fine on a ‘traditional’ php site, but not here…any ideas?

Failing that can anyone point me towards any EE documentation on hadnling button states?

Many thanks

Hello all
Weirdly, EE simply states that an undeclared variable exists in the href.

Do you get a PHP warning or how is this not working?

I don’t get an overt php error appear in the view port, but this appears in the html output:

<li class=“projects_btn”>
_
</li>

As far as I understand it the variable ‘proj’ is declared in the header…

Cheers

When I paste your forum post into a template I don’t get a notice.

Everything works as intended apart from the missing ” here:

News
Projects
...</pre>

I’ve rooted around thoroughly and nothing seemed to be clashing. No matter, though, as I quickly tried your URL-segment recommendation and it is exactly what I am after, so thank you very much. 😊
