delta: menu active css on cache mode

[maple]

Hi,

it seems that horitzontal principal top menu active css -background color- doesn't work properly on cache mode, at least in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

template: Delta
elxis 4.1

thanks

I think it is obvious why.
A cached item is something static which doesn't change until it s refreshed. Cache should be used in some modules, not all.

Hi,

Only should be used in some modules? then, it's not completely useful to have cache options into mod_menu parametres. Other modules automatically refreshed at new changes and take new files in cache folder.

The menu is being refreshed on every click, you cannot use cache with that and have the active item change.
But if you don't want the current menu item to be highlight cache in module menu is perfect.
There are also can be different menu layouts were highlight is of no important and cache is good option too.
So, Elxis gives you the options to cache the menu output as it does for the most of the modules, whether you use or not the cache is your choice.

Hi,

Yes, I understand. A question: Is possible integrate (unify)  the content of the modules/mod_menu_xx_en.php chached file with modules/mod_content_xx_en.php cached files conserving by this way the menu active css background color?

Or only unify the code line where the menu active is, saving some code?

thanks

Module content has nothing to do with module menu. Such "unification" cannot be done but even if it was possible it would n't solve your problem.
The only solution to "update" the cached output via javascript.
A js script could detect the current page and highlight the menu item which corresponds to the current page (note that it is not an easy script to build).
