Hi guys!
I need some help regarding the Drupal 7 menu config and Pathauto:
I want to set up a "News" page which is a View for nodes of content type "Article". It resides under the URL example.com/news.
Pathauto automatically creates URLs for articles with the following pattern: news/[node:created:custom:Y-m-d]/[node:title]
The "News" menu item is shown as active (<a class="active" ...) when I access example.com/news, but as soon as I show a particular news (e. g. example.com/news/1970-01-01/foobar) the active state disappears.
So basically what I need is this "expanded" behavior based on the URL. As soon as the URL contains "/news/*", the "News" menu item should get this CSS class "active". I checked the "Show as expanded" setting option for the "News" menu link item, but this does not work for nodes which do not have their own menu link...
Any hints?
