Hi all,

In my flat_left.tpl menu file I added the following in order to change css class depending on the href link I click on and which which link name is specified in my $view_parameters in URL.

Here's the code


		{def $current_year = currentdate()|l10n('shortdate')|extract(6,4)}
								
								{def $year_param = $module_result.view_parameters.year}
                                
                                
                                
								{if is_set($year_param)|not}
                                    {set $year_param = $current_year}
                                {/if}
                                
                                {def $current_node = fetch('content','node',hash('node_id', $module_result.content_info.node_id))}
                                
                                Archives                                 
                                {for $current_year to 2005 as $year}
                                	<a {if $year_param|eq($year)}class="selected"{/if} href="{concat($current_node.url, '/(year)/', $year)|ezurl(no)}">{$year}</a>
                                    {if $year|ne(2005)}-{/if}
                                {/for}

The aim of the above code is to check if there is a year specified as parameter in the URL. If there's a parameter specified in the URL, that means that the user has clicked on an archive Year and I must change the style of the link he clicked on to declare it as "selected', and this doesn't work.

This part of code if not working :

<a {if $year_param|eq($year)}class="selected"{/if} href="{concat($current_node.url, '/(year)/', $year)|ezurl(no)}">{$year}</a>
                                    {if $year|ne(2005)}-{/if}

The $year value stays on the first value loaded in cache and every time I click on a new value of year (or if I change it in the URL) it's alway this cached value which is selected... I tried to uncache the left menu using this

   {set-block scope=global variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block}

... but it doesn't work.

A help would be appreciated as I spent a lot of time to try to find solution on ez.no without big success.

Many thanks to all of you.

Left menu is not part of content so it is not cached with view cache. You need to look into pagelayout.tpl and flat_left.tpl to see which cache-block surrounds your code and add module_result.view_parameters.year into keys array of the cache block.
