Mark active page menu item in block

Hi,

needing this feature, it would be nice if the current page were highlighted in the block.

Or... maybe the solution is another?

Attached is a patch that adds a pager-curent class to the active link in the paging block.

You can override the theme_pager_link function in your theme. Below is what I have done in the website I work on.

/**
 * Override theme_pager_link
 *
 * Add class to current pager item.
 */
function customtheme_pager_link($text, $page_new, $element, $parameters = array(), $attributes = array()) {
  if (!empty($text)) {
    $matches = array();
    preg_match('/\d$/', $text, $matches);
    $text = $matches[0];
  }

  $page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : '';
  if ($new_page = implode(',', pager_load_array($page_new[$element], $element, explode(',', $page)))) {
    $parameters['page'] = $new_page;
  }

  $query = array();
  if (count($parameters)) {
    $query[] = drupal_query_string_encode($parameters, array());
  }
  $querystring = pager_get_querystring();
  if ($querystring != '') {
    $query[] = $querystring;
  }

  // add class for styling.
  $current = FALSE;
  if ($page == $parameters['page']) {
    $current = TRUE;
  } else if (empty($page) && $parameters['page'] == '0,0') {
    $current = TRUE;
  }
  if ($current) {
    $attributes['class'] = 'pager-current';
  }

  // Set each pager link title
  if (!isset($attributes['title'])) {
    static $titles = NULL;
    if (!isset($titles)) {
      $titles = array(
        t('« first') => t('Go to first page'),
        t('‹ previous') => t('Go to previous page'),
        t('next ›') => t('Go to next page'),
        t('last »') => t('Go to last page'),
      );   
    }    
    if (isset($titles[$text])) {
      $attributes['title'] = $titles[$text];
    }    
    else if (is_numeric($text)) {
      $attributes['title'] = t('Go to page @number', array('@number' => $text));
    }    
  }

  return l($text, $_GET['q'], array('attributes' => $attributes, 'query' => count($query) ? implode('&', $query) : NULL));
}

Patch does not apply.

The patch in #2 seems to have been committed.
