    Navigation: Current state on parent node

    I have tried to google it and searched it on the forum, but i can't find a solution for the following problem:

    I want to have a current state (class) on a parent node item in a navigation when a childnode is selected. I've tried it with the following code, but no succes. 

    <xsl:variable name="source" select="/macro/source"/>
      
    <xsl:template match="/">
              
    <ul class="topnav">
    <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
        <li>
          <xsl:if test="@id = $currentPage/@id">
              <xsl:attribute name="class">current</xsl:attribute>
             </xsl:if>
             <xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor::* [@level=3]">
              <xsl:attribute name="class">current</xsl:attribute>
             </xsl:if>
             <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}" class="producttype">
            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
             </a>
             <xsl:if test="count(./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
              <ul class="subnav">
                <xsl:for-each select="./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
                    <li>
                      <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                          <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                         </a>
                      </li>
                   </xsl:for-each>
                </ul>  
             </xsl:if>
          </li>
       </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>

    The navigation is 3 nodes deep with a drop down menu so I want to have the current state(class) on the highest node in the navigation. Can somebody help me on this one? Thank you.

    Hi Niels,

    You could try chaging this

    <xsl:variablename="source"select="/macro/source"/>
     
    <xsl:templatematch="/">
             
    <ulclass="topnav">
       <xsl:for-eachselect="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
          <li>
             <xsl:iftest="@id = $currentPage/@id">
                <xsl:attributename="class">current</xsl:attribute>
             </xsl:if>
             <xsl:iftest="$currentPage/ancestor::* [@level=3]">
                <xsl:attributename="class">current</xsl:attribute>
             </xsl:if>
             <ahref="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"class="producttype">
                <xsl:value-ofselect="@nodeName"/>
             </a>
             <xsl:iftest="count(./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
                <ulclass="subnav">
                   <xsl:for-eachselect="./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
                      <li>
                         <ahref="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                            <xsl:value-ofselect="@nodeName"/>
                         </a>
                      </li>
                   </xsl:for-each>
                </ul>  
             </xsl:if>
          </li>
       </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>

     

    to this

     

    <xsl:variablename="source"select="/macro/source"/>
     
    <xsl:templatematch="/">
             
    <ulclass="topnav">
       <xsl:for-eachselect="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
          <li>
            <xsl:attribute name="class">                    
              <xsl:if test="$currentPage/@id = current()/@id">
                   <xsl:text> current</xsl:text>
              </xsl:if>
            </xsl:attribute

             <ahref="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"class="producttype">
                <xsl:value-ofselect="@nodeName"/>
             </a>
             <xsl:iftest="count(./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
                <ulclass="subnav">
                   <xsl:for-eachselect="./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
                      <li>
                         <ahref="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                            <xsl:value-ofselect="@nodeName"/>
                         </a>
                      </li>
                   </xsl:for-each>
                </ul>  
             </xsl:if>
          </li>
       </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>

    Fuji,

    That doesn't do the trick, the change you've made is only effecting the current page. So when "item 1" is selected the current class is showing (that's good), but I want the current state is also showing when a child of "item 1" is active/selected.

    Oh ok i see, from what you mentioned earlier you have a dropdown menu right? So when you click on any of the items displayed in the dropDown menu you want this item to have a current class as well??

    Niels what happens when you do this

    <xsl:variablename="source"select="/macro/source"/>
     
    <xsl:templatematch="/">
             
    <ulclass="topnav">
       <xsl:for-eachselect="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
          <li>
            <xsl:attributename="class">                    
              <xsl:iftest="$currentPage/@id = current()/@id">
                   <xsl:text>current</xsl:text>
              </xsl:if>
            </xsl:attribute>

             <ahref="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}"class="producttype">
                <xsl:value-ofselect="@nodeName"/>
             </a>
             <xsl:iftest="count(./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']) &gt; 0">
                <ulclass="subnav">
                   <xsl:for-eachselect="./child::*[@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">
                      <li>
                  <xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@isDoc]/@id = current()/@id">
                        <xsl:attribute name="class">current</xsl:attribute>
                     </xsl:if>

                         <ahref="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                            <xsl:value-ofselect="@nodeName"/>
                         </a>
                      </li>
                   </xsl:for-each>
                </ul>  
             </xsl:if>
          </li>
       </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>

    The menu is a jquery dropdown menu, so when I rollover, the childs appear. When I click a childnode from the dropdown, the parent node must get the current state. So you can see under which categorie the child is selected/placed.

    If i have understood you correctly this shoud work.

          <xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*/@id = current()/@id">
            <xsl:attribute name="class">selected</xsl:attribute>
          </xsl:if>

    put it under the li tag you want to put the class on.

    Hi Niels,

    Change the first test (@id = $currentPage/@id) to this, and you'll get your "current" class applied if the selected page is below (or the same as) the one being rendered:

    <xsl:if test="descendant-or-self::*[@id = $currentPage/@id]">

    Hi Chriztian,

    I was blinded by code but my eyes are open now ;-) Thank you for this simple but perfect solution!
