SSI front page, menubar problem

[tohtori]

I have a small problem, which I hope someone might help me. I have a front page /index.php for my forum /yabbse/index.php. Now I'm using SSI to implement the front page with my forum. Since my forum uses multiple themes i'm using following codes to generate the top.

Code Select Expand

echo template_html_above();
echo template_body_above();

Now my problem is that with default theme the menubar has one active tab. How I could change this show the Frontpage button as active instead of Home/Forum.

Any suggestions would be nice.

You can probably set the current tab with $context. I'm haven't got the context variables handy right now, although someone might be able to give you a more specific answer.

On this forum there is a tutorial for SSI integration using layers. This may be better for what you want to do, although I don't know if it has been updated for SMF 2.x yet

I think the version 1.X.X used following code for defining active menutab

Code Select Expand

    $context['section'] = $section;

But I think this have changed somehow and just can't figure it out how to do it with 2.0B4

bumbing up. Is there anyone who would know how this have changed in 2.0?

I'm sure it's actually:

Code Select Expand

$context['current_action'] == '';
But I'm not sure if it's based on the action array present in the index.php, so externally or not present there not sure how the forum will handle this.
