Hi
I have a menu that is included in all my pages.
When the menu item is clicked it opens a new page and the clicked item changes his color to magenta this, is perfect.
Each Item has a submenu the problem starts when i open one of the submenu pages, the submenu disappear and i can see only the parent menu, this is wrong the submenu items should be visible and the clicked submenu item should be magenta:
the following is the left menu code:
<div id="logo">
<a href="index.php"><img src="images/logo.png" /></a>
</div>
<div id="left">
<?php
// include functions
include_once('includes/functions.php');
// array to hold left menu and submenu items
$left_menu_items = array(
'book.php' => array(
'text' => 'Book Design',
'submenu' => array('book1.php' => array('text' => 'book1'),
'book2.php' => array('text' => 'book2'),
'book3.php' => array('text' => 'book3'),
'book4.php' => array('text' => 'book4')
)
),
'identityDesign.php' => array(
'text' => 'Identity Design',
'submenu' => array('ID_1.php' => array('text' => 'ID_1'),
'ID_2.php' => array('text' => 'ID_2'),
'ID_3.php' => array('text' => 'ID_3'),
'ID_4.php' => array('text' => 'ID_4')
)
),
'logos.php' => array(
'text' => 'Logos'),
'packaging.php' => array(
'text' => 'Package Design',
'submenu' => array('packaging.php#title' => array('text' => 'title'),
'packaging.php#title1' => array('text' => 'title11'),
'packaging.php#title2' => array('text' => 'title2'),
'packaging.php#title3' => array('text' => 'title3'),
'packaging.php#title4' => array('text' => 'title4')
)
),
'index.php' => array('text' => 'Selected Projects'),
);
// call the function that draws the menu
echo '<div id="leftMenu">' . draw_menu($script_name, $left_menu_items) . '</div>',
'<div class="hr"><hr /></div>';
echo '<div id="submenu">' . draw_sub_menu($script_name, $left_menu_items) . '</div>';
?>
</div>
And this is the "function.php" code:
<?php
// function to draw menu (top and left)
function draw_menu($script, $items, $div_id) {
// start the list for the menu
$menu = ' <ul id="list-nav">';
// loop through the array with menus and submenus
foreach($items as $url => $val) {
$text = $val['text'];
if($script == $url) {
// if the item in the array is the current page, highlight it
$menu .= '<li><a style="color:#eb0089" href="#nogo"> '. $text . ' </a></li>';
} else {
// else display it as usual link
$menu .= '<li><a href="' . $url . '">' . $text . '</a></li>';
}
}
// end the list
$menu .= '</ul>';
return $menu;
}
// function to draw submenu below the main menu on left side
function draw_sub_menu($script, $items) {
// find the correct submenu items to draw
foreach($items as $url => $val) {
// if the current page is on the top level (index.php, book.php...)
if($script == $url) {
if(isset($val['submenu']) && !empty($val['submenu'])) {
$submenu = draw_menu($script, $val['submenu']);
return $submenu;
} else {
return '';
}
}
// if the current page is not on the top level, examine each submenu entry
if(isset($val['submenu']) && !empty($val['submenu'])) {
if($script == $val['submenu']['url']) {
$submenu = draw_menu($script, $val['submenu']);
return $submenu;
}
}
}
// if no submenus were drawn return empty string
return '';
}
?>
Thanks in advance for your help
