$current_action Tab

[tyty1234]

Hi!

I am using Daniel15's smf integration method, and I have tabs that are not part of the "?action" context.

From what I understand, $current_action is coming from the Load.php file like so.

Code Select Expand


$context['current_action'] = isset($_REQUEST['action']) ? $_REQUEST['action'] : null;


I am trying to figure out how to do the same method with $current_action, but for links that are outside of the action context.
An example would be on Daniel15's website.

And ideas?

*bump*
Anyone?

you'd have to come up with another way to set $context['current_action'], with the proper data then. 

[tyty1234]

Will this work?

Code Select Expand


$context['current_action'] = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] : null;


[metallica48423]

depends.  what is $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] set to?  I'm not sure if this data can be considered clean either, however, so i'd reccommend cleaning it just in case

Well,  I was thinking of just setting $current_action to my board url. Or as I defined it as $home. And then when I click on another tab, the tab doesn't turn on.

If you have SSI.php included, defining the action would also change $current_action.

$_GET['action'] = 'test';

require('SSI.php');

// $context['current_action'] equal to 'test'

[tyty1234]

umm, I don't understand.
Can you clarify that more please?

You are using SSI on your custom pages, right?

[tyty1234]

yes, but the site menu I have is back in it's index.template.php

Yeah, I know. You must be using $ssi_layers = array('main');. As I understand, you want to set the current action in a custom page. To do this, before including SSI.php, add this code:

$_GET['action'] = 'custom';

When you are on that custom page, the $context['current_action'] will be equal to 'custom'.

[tyty1234]

Oh, I see.

Thanks, it works.

You're welcome.
