Hi there,
Is there any way to have an if conditional where you reference only part of a page url.

For example:

{if page_url == "{exp:fetch_current_uri uri-only='yes'}"}
  class="navon"
{if:else}
  class="nav"
{/if}

will work for the link index.php/about_us/key_people/ when the current url is as such.

But what can I do to grab the about_us variable from that link?

Is there a plugin that may enable something like the following example to work?

{if page_url_segment_1 == "{segment_1}"}
  class="navon"
{if:else}
  class="nav"
{/if}

I am not entirely clear what you are trying to achieve here, can you elaborate? Also, what is {exp:fetch_current_uri} I am not familiar with that plugin (?). Moving to Howto.

How about using the URL Segment Variables provided by EE?

Hi there,
I will try to embellish a little, it’s just a little hard to explain.
{exp:fetch_current_uri} is a plugin I obtained from here that outputs the exact url from your address bar.

Basicly, when segment_1 of the current url is equal to about_us (as an example) I want to be able to say through a conditional to change the class of a link.

{exp:weblog:entries category="3" dynamic="off" sort="asc"}
{if current_page_url_segment_1 == "{segment_1}"}<a href="http://{page_url}" class="navon">{title}</a>

{if:else}<a href="http://{page_url}" class="nav">{title}</a>
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

If the code {current_page_url_segment_1} generated the segment_1 from the link it would work.

Does that make any kind of sense?

Basicly, when segment_1 of the current url is equal to about_us (as an example) I want to be able to say through a conditional to change the class of a link.

So, what exactly do you need a plugin for? Why not juse use:

<a href="http://{page_url}" class="nav{if segment_1 == about_us}on{/if}">{title}</a>

No matter!
I’ve found a way to do it.
Hopefully by looking at this link You can see that I have to levels of sub navigation. (yes, a lot of things don’t look right with the template, it’s still being built!)

For the first column I used:

{if segment_2 == "{url_title}"}  class="leftnavon"{if:else}  class="leftnav"{/if}

For the second column, I just used:

{if segment_3 == "{url_title}"}  class="leftnavon"{if:else}  class="leftnav"{/if}

Who know, this code may help someone else.
