Navbar button question
 

Here's a link to my site.

Question: I have buttons to my various forums on my navbar, but when in these forums only the main FORUMS button stays selected (such as when you're in Tips Archive or Buy & Sell). Other buttons work as they should. How can I make each button stay selected when in the respective forum?

I'll bet whizkid Lynne will know how to fix this! :)

You make them active by creating conditions that say "if on this page, then this one is selected". I don't know how you added them, but I know if you read my article about adding them via a plugin, then that plugin includes the condition line (that you would need to change depending on your own tab).

Lynne: I added code I found in a post on vb.com to add a few buttons to my navbar, but I think the problem is the definitions.

If my navbar buttons link to forums, do I need to define them in forumdisplay.php? I made a plugin per your instructions and got it to correctly link to forumdisplay.php?6, but the button doesn't stay selected when in that forum. I think I'm just one or two steps away from making this work correctly.

If the button isn't staying selected in that forum, then your condition is not valid to make it stay active. What condition did you use that is *unique* to that page?

I used your plugin instructions and it worked beautifully! Thank you so much for what you do and for your support.

I did find one bug...I tried to make links for Who's Online and PM's and it produced an error when an apostrophe is used. Not a big deal at all but I thought I'd mention it in case someone else has trouble and thinks they accidentally screwed up the code somewhere (like I thought I did).

You need to escape apostrophes when you use them inside text that is surrounded by apostophes.

Thank you, Lynne. My apologizes for saying it was a bug!
