<br>So here I'll just ask one (category of) question at a time, but you can respond either here or in a comment there. Using the default setup of the current stable v5.7 - here's my "one" <g> question:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">I'd like the appropriate primary/secondary links to be highlighted to help orient the visitor while navigating through the site. At a minimum, I'd like this to happen when the visitor actually arrives at a location by using a given menu (see Q2), but really I want to control which links are highlighted even when the user arrives from say a term listing, dated archives, etc. <br>
<br>I'd *really* like the highlighting of the menu links to be triggered by
the current URL as set by either the core Path module or the
contrib Pathauto. Example: a page path'd to somewhere under:
"about/facilities" would highlight "about" in the primary links and
"facilities" in the secondary.<br><br>I see from various past postings that the link highlighting is usually done using the ".active class"; please let me know if your suggestion involves another
mechanism.<br><br>I don't want to sound like I'm kvetching (too much) here, but I would
have thought that keeping URLs, menu highlighting and (I just thought
of the other "path" used for visitor orientation) breadcrumbs in sync
for a given node would be something a lot of users would like to see,
IMO core functionality for any site management tool.<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">1. I see the contrib module "Menu Trails" is designed to help with this, but A it is dev only, and this is for a production site, and B it is based on the node's content type or taxonomy terms, not the URL. I was hoping to not get into the complexities of CCK at this early stage of my learning curve, and as far as tagging goes, I can see training the site contributors to set correct URLs on their nodes, but I can't really see them ALSO setting (correctly matching) taxonomy tags. <br>
<br></div>Or is there a way to assign a term based on the assigned URL, or vice-versa. Now *that* (either way) would be great, and not just for this functionality! But Menu Trails is still dev not stable. . .<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">
2. I don't get the menu link highlighting even when the visitor arrived at a page by using the primary/secondary menu navigation. If this isn't a common bug with a known fix, I'll dig further (set up Firebug?) to try to figure out more.<br>
<br>3. Is there a solution that would also tie in with breadcrumbs?<br></div></div><br><br>Thanks in advance!<br><br></div>
