I am working on creating a custom router for my component. I have the url working just fine. However, the menu isn't. I need to set the active menu item to id 28 so the appropriate menus show up. The line I am using to do this is:

Code:
// Set the active menu item
JSite::getMenu()->setActive(28);


I need to know how to set the active menu item since the above line doesn't get the job done, regardless of where put the line.

I too am trying to set the menu, but so far $menu->setActive($id) has failed.

It must be possible to change the menu by code,

Why is the documentation for joomla so bad?

This is something basic, I have spent hours searching for a solution to something simple as changing the menu, I am able to get the correct Itemid, but am stuck since I am not able to hook the menu to this id.

I was able to get the right menu, but not using JSite::getMenu()->setActive
As as far as I can see - it does nothing

The solution was to add the Itemid to the URL that calls the component being displayed

You have to add Itemid=xx, where xx is the id of the menu item on the link that your module produces.
I.e index.php?option=com_mycomponent&view=myview&Itemid=5

Have you created a menu item to your component?

Please see thread - viewtopic.php?f=428&t=757010
