Sandbox

Hi,

i have hacked my mod_mainmenu.php so I can add to each menu item in a menu a personal suffix, because i want to have for every item another :link, :hover ,... graphic. Now i have the problem, that my #active_menu graphic is at all menu items the same - and this is bad
Therefor i want, that the suffix i gave the menu item is at the end of #active_menu, too.

A short example:
My suffix for the menu item Bla is _bla. Now i want, that _bla is used for the #active_menu... looks like that: #active_menu_bla
so, i think, i can give every menu item another #active_menu graphic.

But i don't know which line i have to edit in the mod_mainmenu.php. i get the suffix with $css_params->get('item_sfx');

I hope someone can help me

thx.

If you solved it...what did you do to solve it, dont just edit your answer removing the solution, share with us?

OK..
it's quite simple.
at first I edited the XML of the different link types like content_blog_section in administrator/components/com_menu/
there you have to add the line
with this line you get a form field where you can add a suffix.

the second step is to add some lines in the mod_mainmenu.php in /modules/


function mosGetMenuLink( $mitem, $level=0, &$params, $open=null ) {
global $Itemid, $mosConfig_live_site, $mainframe;

$txt = '';

$css_params = new mosParameters( $mitem->params ); //ADD THIS

switch ($mitem->type)..
------------------------
// Active Menu highlighting
$current_itemid = $Itemid;
if ( !$current_itemid ) {
$id = '';
} else if ( $current_itemid == $mitem->id ) {
$id = 'id="active_menu'. $css_params->get('item_sfx') . $params->get( 'class_sfx' ) .'"'; //CHANGE IT LIKE THAT!
} else if( $params->get( 'activate_parent' ) && isset( $open ) && in_array( $mitem->id, $open ) )  {
$id = 'id="active_menu'. $css_params->get('item_sfx') . $params->get( 'class_sfx' ) .'"'; //CHANGE IT LIKE THAT

---------------------------
if ( $params->get( 'full_active_id' ) ) {
// support for `active_menu` of 'Link - Component Item'
if ( $id == '' && $mitem->type == 'component_item_link' ) {
parse_str( $mitem->link, $url );
if ( $url['Itemid'] == $current_itemid ) {
$id = 'id="active_menu' . $css_params->get('item_sfx') . $params->get( 'class_sfx' ) .'"';//CHANGE IT LIKE THAT!

--------------------------------
// run through SEF convertor
$mitem->link = sefRelToAbs( $mitem->link );

$menuclass = 'mainlevel'. $params->get( 'class_sfx' ) . $css_params->get('item_sfx'); //ADD
if ($level > 0) {
$menuclass = 'sublevel'. $params->get( 'class_sfx')  . $css_params->get('item_sfx');//ADD
}


Ok. That's it.. now you can give every menu item a different suffix. and #active_menu changes to #active_menu_suffix
the changes are only for content_blog_section
if you want the feature in other link types you have to add it in the xml file of the link type.
