Wildcard on 'pagematch' property


Poster: camp

Is there a wildcard that can be set for the pagematch property? For example, say I have a page with a URL of /directory/defaultpage/ that is a menu item 'Directory', when that page is loaded the menu item 'Directory' is selected. Now, I want to load a page /directory/defaultpage/page1.html or /directory/defaultpage/page2.html, etc... I want the menu item 'Directory' to still be selected. If I can set the value of pagematch to something like /directory/defaultpage/* then all sub files or directories would trigger 'Directory' to be selected. Make sense? Please advise.

Hi,

You can use pagematch for folders rather than pages. For example if you had the following

Code:
aI("text=News & Events;url=/aboutus/newsevents/index.shtml;pagematch=/aboutus/newsevents/;");


Using this means any page in the /aboutus/newsevents/ will keep the page match, even if you go to a page from a link on that index page the menu will still keep the page match as long as that linked page is in that directory.

Also, in the newest update 5.759 a new property has been added, or rather ability. You can now declare multiple pagematches by declaring the page match to multiple pages just as you would for 1 page, just separate the pages by commas.

Hope this helps.

Perfect, works as you describe. I was so busy trying different wildcard characters that I never tried just the folder. Thanks for the help.
