Current Navigation Oct 21, 00:01
Since my current navigation made its debut a few days ago a few people have e-mailed me to ask me how to do it. So I present to you: The Quick’n‘Easy Guide to Keeping Your Navigation Links Current (or how Becky ripped off other people’s methods for her own gain).
Method 1 – Wordpress: Wordpress actually has this feature built-in. WP-List-Pages
Method 2 – PHP: Jem’s Trendy Active CSS Tabs or Matt’s Intelligent Menu’s. I’ve personally had middling success with PHP on a manually maintained site and little success with it on Textpattern.
Method 3 – Textpattern: You can either muck around with multiple templates, which is bloated and unnecessary, or you can use this method. If you choose to use the multiple templates then you’ll need to read how do I use a different page layout for each section?
Method 4 – Manually Maintained Sites: Use Hicksdesigns method to highlighting current page with CSS
