cant get menu highligthing working because Item-links in cat-listing don't have parent cat's with them? was created by Johnny Strange
Hello all,
i have done a k2 web-site with several categories. Got the menu (this is mod_moomenu_CK) working well with all categories which are represented although in menu structure. Breadcrumbs even work well, show structure as expected.
Clicking first menu item sets highlighting in menu - it becomes active. Ok that far ->
but: If one clicks on an item-link in category-listing - my menu no longer shows highlighting. As far as i understand that, because it doesn't have information about it's parent category in it - so my menu shows no highligthing when displaying an article in detail-view.
Can anyone help? Do i need another menu, or altering something in my templates?
Thanks,
John

Hi johnny try searching one of my blog posts on active highlighting hack
I thought 2.4 had it built in - but havent looked. Can you post a link to menu mod you ate using?
Cheers

Hello Alan, thank's for your comment, interesting hint with version 2.4 - i will give it a try and update my test-instance.
Menu is: extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-a-navigation/menu-systems/drop-a-tab-menus/10226?qh=YTo3OntpOjA7czozOiJtb2QiO2k6MTtzOjQ6Im1vZHMiO2k6MjtzOjY6Im1vZGRlZCI7aTozO3M6NzoibW9kZGluZyI7aTo0O3M6NzoibW9vbWVudSI7aTo1O3M6MjoiY2siO2k6NjtzOjEwOiJtb29tZW51IGNrIjt9

ok - updated to 2.4, w/o problem, then took Joomlas mod_mainmenu - placed it together with my menu in my navigation-slot and ...tada... highlighting works. Seems mod_moomenu_CK doesn't do the job. So i have to build that fancy menu by myself or try to understand, which params are wrong in there.
