I have searched the docs but can’t find anything on the {exp:pageslist} tag, has that been depreciated since 2.3.x?

All I’m trying to do is set an “active” class in my navigation based upon segment_1. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way?

pageslist_page_uri returns the uri with a leading slash so it never matches segment_1…

Here is my code:

<!-- START: Main Nav -->
<div class="menu">
 <ul>
  <li><a href="{site_url}"class="active" title="Home">Home</a></li>
  {exp:pageslist}
  <li><a href='{path={pageslist_page_uri}}'class="active" title='{pageslist_page_title}'>{pageslist_page_title}</a></li>
  {/exp:pageslist}
 </ul>
</div>
<!-- END: Main Nav -->

Hey Scott,

{exp:pageslist} 

is an add-on tag, and not part of ExpressionEngine proper. Perhaps you’re referring to this add-on of the same name?

To establish whether to add a class of active, would something like this work?

<a href="[path here]"class="active">[Link Name]</a> 

If you’re having issues with that particular add-on, you’ll need to reach out to the developer of the add-on, as we don’t support such.

Thanks.

Thanks Kyle,

That explains why it wasn’t in the docs, lol… Since I couldn’t get he active page/class working in my project using that extension I opted to use the regular exp:channel tag to output my menu. I was able to set the active class based upon uri segment AND it’s persistent through sub pages which I believe pagelist couldn’t do. All’s well that ends well smile
