Retain menu position for feature pages

Hi Joe,
A quick question around the menu. I’m sure I must be missing something obvious but here goes… I’ve created the main ascx control for the Survey module and have created some additional pages for administration. When I navigate away from the main content page with the ascx I lose the highlight on the menu for the page, so I’m on say a page that adds a new question to a survey but the menu reverts to Home. I noticed in the forum as you move from the main content page to other pages e.g. ForumViewThread you retain the highlight on the Forum page item in the menu. How are you doing this?
Cheers
Rob

Re: Retain menu position for feature pages

The .ascx module is on a content page so it has access and knows what pageid it is on. When you link to your supporting pages you need to pass the pageid in the query string like pageid=x

If you maintain the pageid param in the url it will correctly select and highlight the menu.

Hope it helps,

Joe
