Hi,

My drupal has a main navigation bar in the "navigation" area (horizontal, on top of each page). It also has page-specific navigation, in the left sidebar. My current problem is that, when using the page-specific navigation, the "active class" in the main navigation disappears, whereas the left navigation link is a sublink of the main navigation. For example, I have a main navigation category "Practical information", that consists of subnavigation links "Visitors", "Parking" etc. When the "visitors" page is active, it highlights in blue (since the class 'active' is assigned to it), but the "Practical information" link doesn't highlight anymore.

Any solutions? Or is my explanation too vague? :)

Thx in advance!

this module should help you: http://drupal.org/project/menutrails

I still don't get the picture :(

When you look at http://dedicated.tmpstudio.be/pellenberg
For example, when you click on "Praktische Info", and you then choose for "Bezoekers" (left sidebar), then both "Praktische Info" ànd "Bezoekers" should be have the "active" class (in order to be highlighted). Furthermore, the breadcrumb should show "home > praktische info > bezoekers".

Unfortunately, I don't get the taxonomy-picture, and tried some modules as menutrails, taxonomy breadcrumb etc.

Anyone a clear solution? Thx!!!

Looking at your site, it looks like you figured it out.

Even though you seem to have solved it, it would help others with the same problem to post the solution. I guess the cause of the problem was due to the fact that you defined 2 separate menus, one for the top items (primary links) and a second one for the items on the left (secondary links). The easy solution is to put the menu hierarchy in one single menu and change the menu settings (admin/build/menu/settings) so both primary and secondary links are fetched from the same menu.
