Hi, I was trying to figure out how to determine the current item in a navigation and set it a special class. The only solution I've found is something like this: <li<?php if(Uri::current()==Uri::create('welcome')){echo ' class="selected"';}?>><?php echo Html::anchor('welcome', 'Home'); ?></li> I hope that I missed something and there's a better and easier way to achieve this, because this solution isn't the most elegant and moreover is pretty limited.

Try to use the Uri::segment() method.

[url=http://website.local/controller/action]http://website.local/controller/action[/url]

Uri::segment(1) -> "controller"
Uri::segment(2) -> "action"

so ...

<li<?php if(Uri::segment(1) == 'welcome') echo ' class="selected"'; ?>><?php echo Html::anchor('welcome', 'Home'); ?></li>

Thanks David for the quick reply, your method looks better indeed. I will try it... I would love to see something like this to generate a navigation and add the class selected to the current item.

echo Html::nav(array('welcome', 'posts:create'));

Here's the start to a bit I have not quite finished yet... I don't even know if it works... but it's close at least. Let's see what you can come up with. http://pastecode.com/X9

Actually, this may be closer... I pasted the wrong branch from my repo. (again, untested as of yet) http://pastecode.com/Xt
