highlighting current menu item
Hi,
I want to have a main menu and a sub menu, in different vm-files, to be
called by my Default.vm layout template.
Within I want to highlight the current menu item that has been selected.
HOw do I get the information which menu-item has been selected?
Read it out of the context?
Using $navigation ?
Or $data.getScreen() ?
Is it possible to write a screen-class for the 2 navigation-templates?
Is there an example how to do this available?
Browsing the archive didn't help.
Thanks,
Marc

Hi Marc,
We pass around a GET/POST parameter indicating the currently selected
navigation item (?navitem=blah) and our base Screen class saves this in user
temporary storage:
data.getUser().setTemp("currentNavItem", navItem);
In our templates we use a pull tool to retrieve the currently selected
navigation item from user temporary storage so that we know which button
state to display.
You can see the initial version of our Turbine application at
http://www.kahootz.com to see how this works.

Hi,
I used to do this by embedding a variable named tab in the vm file, so the
other vm file could check to see which tab was being used as a screen. like
so:
navigation:
#if( $tab == "search" )
<menu code/>
#
screen:
#set( $tab = "search"
--------------------------------------------------
I've found it to be less hassle to use the screen template name, like so:
#if( $data.Parameters.Template =="Search.vm" )
<menucode/>
#end
That way you skip editing the screen..
If your submenu items are linked to the same screen, then I would imagine
you would have to use the first approach.
Hope that answers your question.
:),
Derick

We run Apache 1.3.26, mod_jk and Tomcat 4.x and the web app is in
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT... "/kz/" is our mod_jk mount point, specified in
httpd.conf.

That is just our Apache index.html file which has the following tag in the
<head> section:
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=/kz/">
This is a 1 second delay, but you can set it to 0 for an instant redirect or
5 for a 5 second delay.

Just a little question, Rodney about your www.kahootz.com
q 1. do you run it in tomcat configured on pourt 80 ?
in the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT ?
q.2 typing http://www.kahootz.com loads a yellow page and redirects it after a short time to http://www.kahootz.com/kz/
How one does redirect with a given delay to another screen in turbine?
Merci,
regards,
Slava
