Problems detecting a selected nav item in velocity template
Junior Member Beiträge: 38 Beitrittsdatum: 21.04.10 Neueste Beiträge
I am having a problem in my navigation.vm template. Here is the code for the site's navigation:
For some reason, none of my navigation items on the site ever get the "selected" class assigned to it. I am having a lot of trouble figuring out why. Can anyone see a problem with my template?
<ul>
#foreach ($nav_item in $nav_items)
#if ($nav_item.isSelected())
#set ($nav_item_class = "selected")
<b>Selected!</b>
#else
#set ($nav_item_class = "")
#end
#if ($nav_item.getName() != "Home")
<li class="$nav_item_class">
<a href="$nav_item.getURL()" $nav_item.gettarget()><span>$nav_item.getName()</span></a>
</li>
#end
#end
</ul>

Same problem here!
In portal_normal.vm, i include navigation 2 times. First time isSelected(() works as desired. second time not.
WHY?

The problem is that $nav_item.isSelected() return always false.
I found why this happens. I have included in header.vm the sign-in portlet with the following code:
If i remove this code in the header the $nav_item.isSelected() behaves normally returning true for the page where the user is in.
I don't know why this happens, maybe someone can give a more detailed explanation.
Thanks, Aldi.

$velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("portlet-setup-show-borders","false")

$locRenderedPortletContent
$velocityPortletPreferences.reset()

Hi everybody,
I know the thread is a little bit old but I found a workaround for the problem someone mentioned in here and I thought it would be better to post it here instead of creating a new thread. I faced the same problem as Aldi Tirane did (see quote). I embedded a Portlet into my theme with the liferay suggested code (see quote again ;) ). But whenever i did that, the isSelected() Function always returned false.
So I tried to embedd the portlet after the navigation was built and that worked. So I came up with this workaround, maybe its useful to somebody with the same issue:
- My navigation code was stored in the navigation.vm so I parsed the content of the navigation into a variable:
This made sure the navigation had been created before I embedded the portlet. Afterwards I embedded the portlet as suggested in the quote. Afterwards I just printed the content of the variable where I wanted the navigation to appear.
That worked fine for me, I hope this may be useful to somebody.
Last but not least - does anybody know why this problem occurs in the first place, or wether it has been resolved after 6.1GA2?
Regards
