givin ID via links

[jeremiah11]

Hello,

 

I am trying to make selected tabs (text styled through css to look like tabs) to be shown as a different colour when the page is current.

 

I know how to do this by implementing different header.php files but i am trying to use if statements by giving each an ID. I do not know where to put the ID when my links are used as filenames.

 

Eg.

<?php

$id=$_GET["id"];

 

if($id=="Home") {

?>

<div class="nav-item first selected" id="nav-item-home">

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, ''); ?>" class="content">Products</a> //Where do i put id=home??????

</div>

<?php } else { ?>

<div class="nav-item">

<div class="nav-tab">

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, ''); ?>" class="content">Products</a>

</div>

</div>

<?php } ?>

 

Thanks for your help ahead of time :blush:

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'id=Home'); ?>" class="content">Products</a>

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'id=Home'); ?>" class="content">Products</a>

 

 

That seemed to not work. The link just stayed the same instead of giving the current tab color. I have seen it work when i had seperate header.php files so i know he code is working....i just don't know where to exactly put the id=Home.

 

Any other ideas?

did you do it for both of the links?

No, only for the first one.

I put it in for both and it worked:) I still have a small problem though. When i hit the url instead of the link the new current colour for the link does not show up. Do you have any suggestions to what i should do to get that to work???

Just to clarify

 

when i click on the link on the page everything works great, but if i type in www.microsoft.com/index.php i am not getting the current link colour i want because the id is missing at the end of the URL.

 

Thanks again for helping me out with this!

I personally would approach it differently

 

e.g.

$id=basename($PHP_SELF);

if($id == FILENAME_DEFAULT) 
{ 
?>
<div class="nav-item first selected" id="nav-item-home">
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>" class="content">Products</a>
</div>
<?php 
}
else
{ 
?>
<div class="nav-item">
<div class="nav-tab">
<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>" class="content">Products</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php 
}
?>

 

that way go don't need to add anything to the path

I have a terrible feeling that I'm missing the plot (had a bottle of wine or three) .. but I'll have a bash ..

 

I'm assuming (never a good idea ) that you may want all index.php pages to be non tabbed and certain other pages tabbed, for the purposes of this I'm using the usual culprits ..

 

Conditions

Contact_us

Privacy

Shipping

 

$tab_file = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

switch($tab_file){

case($tab_file == FILENAME_CONDITIONS):
?>
<div class="nav-item">
  <div class="nav-tab">
	<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS); ?>" class="content">Products</a>
  </div>
</div>
<?php
break;
case($tab_file == FILENAME_CONTACT_US):
?>
<div class="nav-item">
  <div class="nav-tab">
	<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US); ?>" class="content">Products</a>
  </div>
</div>
<?php
break;
case($tab_file == FILENAME_SHIPPING):
?>
<div class="nav-item">
  <div class="nav-tab">
	<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING); ?>" class="content">Products</a>
  </div>
</div>
<?php
break;
case($tab_file == FILENAME_PRIVACY):
?>
<div class="nav-item">
  <div class="nav-tab">
	<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY); ?>" class="content">Products</a>
  </div>
</div>
<?php
break;
default:
?>
<div class="nav-item first selected" id="nav-item-home">
  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT); ?>" class="content">Products</a>
</div>
<?php
break;

}

As I thought it doesn't make sense, I'm replacing only one tab (and I'm not sure I'm on the right track anyway) I'll still post again though .. well until I fall over.

Another version

 

An array of files for which you wish to show tabs

 

$tabsArray = array(FILENAME_DEFAULT, FILENAME_CONDITIONS, FILENAME_CONTACT_US, FILENAME_SHIPPING, FILENAME_PRIVACY);

 

The function call to print the tags

tabMeUpScotty($tabsArray);

 

The function itself .. probably in includes/functions/general.php

 

function tabMeUpScotty($tabsArray){
 $tab_file = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);  
 foreach( $tabsArray as $value ){
$tabname = ucfirst(str_replace('.php', '', $value));

if( ($value == $tab_file) && ($tab_file != FILENAME_DEFAULT) ){
?>
<div class="nav-item">
  <div class="nav-tab">
	<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link($tab_file); ?>" class="content"><?php echo $tabname; ?></a>
  </div>
</div>
<?php
} else {
?>
<div class="nav-item first selected" id="nav-item-home">
  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link($value); ?>" class="content"><?php echo $tabname; ?></a>
</div>
<?php
}
 }
}
