Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

Hello!
I have searched the forum and seen that many people have this issue but for different reasons.
Here is mine (or, at least, this is my guess):

This is a website I am working on. http://ruidonaranja.com/nosotros

The current state in the top menu does not work.
The code for active menu items shows as follows: With no current id
When I disable the SEF URLS from the joomla global configuration, it works properly.
I have cleaned the cache many times, the module has no cache saving and the full active higlighting is set to Yes.

Has anyone solved a problem like this one?
Thanks a lot!

I don't see any problem to me it's working fine.

Hi! Thanks for your reply!
You mean you see in the code for the first item on that top menu?

I think the problem is the SEF URL activation. I´m using ARTIO SEF.

I'm having exactly the same issue. Anyone found a solution for this?

I found where the problem was!
My top menu was not my joomla main menu. It was not the menu with the default link (hompeage link) so it was not declaring the current state for any of my links.
It would be good to have that state in all menus, not just the main one!!

I've also found the solution - sorry for not posting sooner, only the notification from angelesb's post reminded me.

It's not just to do with it being the main menu, but that for active menu highlighting to work there can only be ONE menu item across all menus pointing to the article/component/etc you're linking to.

That doesn't mean that you can't have several menu items that take you to the same place, however.

For example, let's say you have the 'about' menu item in both the main and footer menus. If you link directly to your about article in both menus, active menu highlighting will not work.

But, you can link to the article in your main menu and then use the 'link to menu item' option for the footer menu and it will work. The footer menu doesn't link to the article, you're just telling it to use the same link as the 'about' in the main menu.

This solved my problem.

Thanks!!! Really helpful!

Thanks Troubadour. I've been working around this issue for a long time. Nice to finally have it solved using the Alias menu item type, and so simply too
