Hello All,

I've spent hours trying to figure this out. Could someone point me in the right direction?

What I'm trying to create is a single user blog through views. I created it fine.

I also created a view that outputs specific Taxonomy terms that are the Categories of each of the blog entries.

All that works great.

The problem is I can't figure out how to keep the tab title Blog I have in the Horizontal Primary menu highlighted when clicking on this list of Categories for the blog. Same issue when I click on one of the Blog entries.

Is there a way to tell Drupal to give a primary menu item a class of active when it is not a child of that menu item?

I'm willing to try anything: place some code in template.php, or maybe target it through specific url, whatever works. I am totally lost on this one. I'm a new Drupal user also.

Thanks in advance for any help offered,

- Sean

I'd create your own primary navigation in the page template with php. Check the url, and depending on the section you are in (e.g. '/animals/dogs/page_1'), tag the body with that class (e.g. 'dogs' or whatever), and style it with css.
A method like this is described in the sixth IBM Drupal tutorial (Listing 6. Using a vocabulary to set body element class attribute value in page.tpl.php).

I hope this helps.
