At app_controller.php use

var $helpers = array(‘Html’, ‘Menu’);

Then change code

echo link(‘Home’,'/’, array(‘title’ => ‘Home’, ‘class’ => $menu->highlight(“/$”)))

To

echo $html->link(‘Home’,’/’, array(‘title’ => ‘Home’, ‘class’ => $menu->highlight(“/$”)))

Just as this can work.

I modify the function to accept an array as $path. The result:

function highlight($path, $normal = ‘navLink’, $selected = ‘navLinkSelected’) {
$class = ‘ ‘.$normal;
$currentPath = substr($this->Html->here, strlen($this->Html->base));
// if there is a star in the path we need to do different checking
$regs = array();
if (!is_array($path) && ereg($path,$currentPath,$regs)){
$class .= ‘ ‘.$selected;
}else if (is_array($path)){
foreach($path as $value){
if (ereg($value,$currentPath,$regs)){
$class .= ‘ ‘.$selected;
break;
}
}
}
return $class;
}

I found it out myself, but I had problems highlighting the home page when it was accesses id by “/”, but as I got back here I find the updated version which is great!
So basically the $path in the function is a regular expression, right?
Shouldn’t this $menu->highlight(“/$”) be $menu->highlight(“^/$”) ? Or it doesn’t matter? I’m just curious (I’m not so good in regexp)

Still thanks for your helper, I really like it.
