I''ve got a tab menu with links to different controllers. Depending on which controllers is the current, I would like the current controller''s tab to have a css class, e.g. class="current". I use the same layout file for all controllers. I would like to do kind of the same thing to another menu but this time depending on which ID is the current. It''s a list of posts in the database, and depending on which post is the current, the current post shall have a css class in the list of posts. Does anyone have a simple solutions for this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

hi
in body tag, put a class
<body class="<%= controller.action_name %>">
then in your menu
<ul id="navigation">
<li class="articles">articles</li>
<li class="another_controlelr">controller </li >...
to format this, and highlight the current chosen controller, it would be in
css file
.articles li .articles { highlighted style }
same for the highlighted posts

For such things I developed a plugin (site_map) which is hosted on rubyforge. You can install it with: ./script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/site-map/trunk/site_map The basics are: 1. in routes.rb define your site map: SiteMap.draw do |map| map.area ''public do map.section ''about_us'', :controller => ''frontend'', :action => ''about_us'' map.section ''signup'', :controller => ''account'' map.location :controller => ''frontend'' # not bound to any particular section end map.area ''admin'' do map.section ''users'', :controller => ''/admin/users'' map.section ''posts'' do map.location :controller => ''/admin/posts'' map.location :controller => ''/admin/comments'' end end end 2. Then in the views there is a current_location helper which returns an object that describes current location. It has all the location attributes (area name, section name, etc) initialized based on current request params (including controller and action names) You can use any attributes you want (zone / area / section / etc), there is no predefined ones (except you can''t use "location" attribute, because it is reserved keyword). In your views you can use some helpers like <%= section_link ''users'', ''User management'', :controller => ''/admin/users'' %> which is defined in helpers as: def section_link(section_name, title, url_options) if current_location.section == section_name # selected section link_to title, url_options, :class => ''selected'' else # normal section link_to title, url_options end end This saves me from adding new stylesheets if I add new subdivisions to my web applications. It also gives greater flexibility in mapping controllers AND actions to different "locations". Also, you can render selected e.g. "section" with simple text (not a link). With css solution you can''t do that. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I was thinking a slightly more easier solution. I solved the problem
with the following solution.
<ul>
<% for page in @pages %>
<li<% if params[:id] == "#{page.id}" %>
class="current"<% end %>><%link_to page.name, :controller
=> "pages", :action => "show", :id =>
page %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
