[Lift] Re: Menus active/inactive with/without redirect
David,
Hope I haven't offended protocols, just not sure the best way to send
this. I've just uploaded a teensy mod to hello-lift (hello-lift-denew)
which should show what I'm waffling on about.
I do appreciate your help, but please don't spend too much time on it
- I'm sure you have bigger fish to fry

[Lift] Re: Menus active/inactive with/without redirect
Can you put together a super-simple project that demonstrates what you want
to do and I'll work it up so the menus highlight the right way.

[Lift] Re: Menus active/inactive with/without redirect
No - the menus should always show, but be inactive when you are on
that page. For example, 'Home' is not selectable when you are on the
Home page. This seems to be the default behaviour and is exactly
right. Other 'simple' pages (i.e. just accessing a template, no
redirects in Boot) work the same way. It seems however, that in the
presence of a redirect, the original menu stays selectable after
landing. To be consistent it should still appear, but be inactive. I
didn't include this line in my original post...
Menu(Loc("product_redirect_target", ("content" :: "product" :: Nil) ->
true, "Product Redirect", Hidden)) ::
... but it was there. As I say everything 'works' ok and I can live
with it - it just looks a bit inconsistent

[Lift] Re: Menus active/inactive with/without redirect
You might try putting a "Hidden" object on the "specials" menu... that way
it won't show up... is this what you mean?
