Highlight based on page

[Hell Bomb]

How can I have certain tabs light up based on what pages I am on. Such as vb4 does and vBulletin.org does?

Without knowing the style you are using and how that is coded, i doubt anyone can give an answer.

Hmm didn't think that would matter I am going to be working on a custom theme so it doesnt really matter what ideas people could give me. I have been thinking about using a php statement that will check on which page the use is viewing and checking by that. So if the user is on forumdisplay is will highlight the tab "forum" I want to create a navbar system like vBulletin 4.0 but am having issues getting it to work right. I am usually pretty good with this stuff i figured out how to make it work pretty good in about 20 minutes outside of vBulletin but while using the vBuleltin template system its kind of fustrating.

the template conditional:


<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'something'">
highlighted tab code goes here
<else>
non highlighted tab code goes here
</if>


should do what your asking.

THIS_SCRIPT is defined in the various .php files in your vb installation. You can open each in notepad or simlar to find it.
