How could I keep a floating image indicator unhidden on a selected menu item? For example, I would like the indicator of the home page to be shown while the user is in the home page.

Hello,

This is not possible exactly the way you describe it. What you can do instead, is to use the floating image on the “click state”, and set your menu to automatically highlight the “current item”.

This will automatically set the “current item” to the “click state”, based on the URL shown in the address bar:

How do I make the menu button to be highlight the particular page eg. if I'm on contact page the "Contact" button is highlighted?  I've done it years ago but now forget how. There was a code  have insert on every page? Does the menu has to be one of the template or will it work if I build one from the scratch?

Thanks,
Hannu

Hello again,

In order to highlight the “current item” you need to check the “Show Item or Group on Appear” property:

Hello... sorry for my English,

I want when the user clicks on an item that remains highlighted, like <script>awmSelectedItem=2</script> but after i click.

i hope you answer

Hello again,

The way to do this is to use the automatic highlight feature:

Note however that this will only work for items that have a link that change the page. If an item does not have a link or if it is pointing within the same page, then it will not be highlighted.

Hello,

I noticed two separate issues:

1) It seems that the online compiled menu file does *not* have the auto-highlight option enabled. Please make sure you have selected this and recompile your menu.

2) Regarding the variables, you need to give them the values *before* the menu is built. So you need to move your code before the Linking Code (in the <head> maybe?).

Hi Kostas,

One of my clients has brought up an interesting problem with AWM and Joomla pages.

If you look at the example below you will see that active menu items are highlighted in yellow on this menu.

However, when the page is split into three pages then the highlighted menu item does not work. (See below)

What would it cost me to have this built in to the AWM menu system?

Warm regards

Brent
