New Button Tab (Highlight Problem)

[sambosh]

I took a look at this link to learn about creating new button/tabs in the forum menu: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=261880.0

The link was helpful to a point but I am unable to get something to work :S  When I click on the menu tabs, each one is highlighted depending on the menu item/page you are on to tell you where you are.  Although I was able to create the new button 'Monster Forum', whenever I hit this new tab the button is not highlighted.  Also, when you arrive on forum, I'd like the 'Monster Forum' button to be highlighted and not the home button.  The 'Home' button is for the parent site (floatmonster.com) and not the forum (floatmonster.com/forum).

Here is a copy of the code from the Sources.subs.php file:

I've already got the buttons I want, I now just need them to be highlighted when on the appropriate page.  Have a look at my forum to see what I mean (http://floatmonster.com/forum [nofollow]).  Try each button and you'll see that the button is correctly highlighted on all tabs except for the Home button and the Monster Forum button.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Change the button array name from 'Monster Forum' -> 'Home', and call the first button something else ('Home' -> 'Website').  Not the 'title', just the button name.

Hi Krash,

Thanks for your help but it didn't fix the problem.  In fact, now neither the 'Home' button nor the 'Monster Forum' button will highlight.  Before the 'Home button was lit when on the forum index.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Ooops, my mistake.   It's case sensitive, must be 'home' not 'Home'.

[sambosh]

Krash, you are awesome buddy  ... Thanks!
