I was wondering how when ever you click the video tab or freebie tab it changes and it is selected. I know how to do this in HTML but how do u do it in wordpress?
typically you would either, retrieve the page-slug and echo it as the body id, or if you want to keep it abit simpler/less specific a basic conditional statement using the likes of these functions:
etc (full listings of these can be found http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags )
the idea is just to echo one of the values into the body id then use css specificity to set the ‘on’ state for each one
/* Highlighted state for each link only working when the correct id is inserted into the body */
#homepage #menu #homepagelink { css-for-on-state }
#blogpost #menu #bloglink { css-for-on-state }
#whatever #menu #whateverlink { css-for-on-state }
Something along those lines, you can do it in varying ways obviously, but I hope that was a decent example.
just for clarity im assuming html along the lines of :
k thanks. can i contact u if i need anymore help when designing the page.
so i have to have a custom page template for every category?
not particularly !
as long as you open your body tag in the header include you can add if () cases for almost any page type.
all work :)
