route params?

Forum URL: zimmpb.proboards.com

Alright, so what I'm trying to do is apply a style to a selected <li> if the person is on that page.. However, I'm using a custom page as the "/" (home page), and I can't figure out how to select that in the if/else statement...

I've tried it a few different ways and I'm stuck.


{if $[route.params] == "/"}
<li class="zimm_nav current"><a href="/" title="Home">Welcome</a></li>
{else}
<li><a href="/" title="Home">Welcome</a></li>
{/if}
*Note: It works if I leave as a page and not the home page with the following code:

{if $[route.params.page_id] == "home"}
<li class="zimm_nav current"><a href="/" title="Home">Welcome</a></li>
{else}
<li><a href="/" title="Home">Welcome</a></li>
{/if}

You probably want the $[route.name] variable. If you put this after the body tag in the forum wrapper template:

{if $[current_user.id]==1}

$[route.name]

{/if}


You'll get text in the top left corner of every page telling you what the route name is. I've done this on my forum so I can mess about with stuff and noone else can see it.

You're always very welcome!  It's the little things that get us sometimes  Once I spent several weeks (yes weeks!) trying to get a simple side table arrangement to chooch. Turned out I hadn't closed one of the table tags in my infocenter remodel.
One missing forward slash.
Weeks of work.


Stay awesome, doll face, no self hatin'!
