You can also create a similar effect using raw CSS. The trick is to assign a different css class to the <body> tag of each page - and also to each link of your navigation menu. Then all you need to do is create a style which only kicks-in if the <body> class and the corresponding link class appear on the same page.

It's delightfully simple.

Thanks Perchpole for your suggestion. [:)]

In fact, I wanted to remove the link for the active page.
What complicates a little the use :

<?php foreach ($secondaryRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($num == $record['num']): ?>
Page (ID 1)
<?php else: ?>
<a href="...">Page (ID 2)</a>
<a href="...">Page (ID 3)</a>
...
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

The problem now, it is with the use of several sections on the same page.
If there is a recording of another section with the same value (ID) the condition is also applied.
MY MENU
Section 1

<?php foreach ($seconeRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($num == $record['num']): ?>
Page (ID 1)
<?php else: ?>
<a href="...">Page (ID 2)</a>
<a href="...">Page (ID 3)</a>
...
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Section 2

<?php foreach ($sectwoRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($num == $record['num']): ?>
Page (ID 1)
<?php else: ?>
<a href="...">Page (ID 2)</a>
<a href="...">Page (ID 3)</a>
...
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
I think that it is necessary to add a condition (perhaps on _filename (?) ).

Hi Dave,

You think that there is a solution with the problem mentioned above ?

I forgot to add that this condition is used in a include (includes/nav.php) to optimize the use.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Djulia,

I'm not sure I follow. Can you provide a sample url that shows the page you're working on?

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

In fact, we adapted the code on each page. That thus avoids applying the condition to the same recording (or $num) of section 1 and 2 on the page.

Here an example :

On page newsDetail_1.php.

For the section 1 (tableName1) :
<?php foreach ($listingRecords as $record):
if ($num == $record['num']) { continue; } ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

For the section 2 (tableName2) :
<?php foreach ($listingtwoRecords as $record): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

...and on page newsDetail_2.php

For the section 1 (tableName1) :
<?php foreach ($listingRecords as $record):
<li><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

For the section 2 (tableName2) :
<?php foreach ($listingtwoRecords as $record): ?>
if ($num == $record['num']) { continue; } ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hi Djulia

Thanks for the follow up. I am still having some trouble following along though. Could you post a link to your site so we can take a closer look at what's happening?

Thanks!

Hi Djulia

I'll be in touch as soon as I can. I'll have to read through your code to get a better idea of what's going on.

Thanks for getting me the details though :). That makes this a lot easier to troubleshoot.
