Hi!

I am currently rewriting my project and this time using templates. I have a menu witch is dynamic. The way it worked was that each menu item had 2 images, on normal image and one image for when that page was active. I had a menu.php file with a number of if statements, one for each page. The if statement would tell the scripts that it was to use the active image instead. The in the like to the page it would have like: stats.php?page=01 and so on, so if page was 01 then the stats button would be active, this for better navigation for users.

No i want to use a tomplate for the menu, but then the menu.php file is deleted and i then have menu.tpl with the menu. The problem now is how to make it like before. I have thought of looping the template and use the variable sent with the link, but i am not sure how i am gonna do this.

I am using TemplatePower at the moment, and hope that someone can give me an idea on how to make this work.

I have done the same thing with my site www.electronicmusicworld.com

what I did was in each img src tag for the menu, I've done:

Code:

<img src="images/news{NEWS}.gif" alt="news" border="0" /><img src="images/articles{ARTICLES}.gif" alt="articles" border="0" /><img src="images/reviews{REVIEWS}.gif" alt="reviews" border="0" />

then in the php files for news, I do:

PHP Code:

$tpl->assign("NEWS", "_on"); 

and for articles I do:

PHP Code:

$tpl->assign("ARTICLES", "_on"); 

etc

that way, the news_on.gif, articles.gif and reviews.gif are displayed when in news, the articles_on.gif, news.gif and reviews.gif are displayed in articles, etc.

I am also using TemplatePower by the way
