Help needed to add ‘active’ state for category menu in product page for blockTopMenu

[bomby]

Hi,

 

I'm using the module called blockTopMenu. The category gets 'active' state in category page, but when I enter a product inside a category, that category no longers get the 'active' state in product page.

 

Prestashop Version 1.6.0.14

Top horizontal menu v2.2.0 - by PrestaShop

 

 

When in a category page, the category's <li> has class sfHoverForce:

<ul class="sf-menu clearfix menu-content sf-js-enabled sf-arrows">
<li class="sfHoverForce">Cat1</li>
<li>Cat2</li>
<li>Cat2</li>
</ul>

Which is good and exactly what is needed!

 

 

However, when I enter say a product A in Cat1, the menu becomes like this:

<ul class="sf-menu clearfix menu-content sf-js-enabled sf-arrows">
<li>Cat1</li>
<li>Cat2</li>
<li>Cat2</li>
</ul>

As you can see, the Cat1 is not assigned the 'active' state.

 

 

 

I have looked up on http://nemops.com/prestashop-top-menu-current-state/ but it doesn't work.

 

 

 

I am looking at modules/blocktopmenu/blocktopmenu.php around this code of line but am not sure what to edit

$html .= '<li'.(($this->page_name == 'category'
&& (int)Tools::getValue('id_category') == (int)$category['id_category']) ? ' class="sfHoverForce"' : '').'>';
$html .= '<a href="'.$link.'" title="'.$category['name'].'">'.$category['name'].'</a>';

Any guidance would be good. Much appreciated.
