XF 2.2 Active tab in public nav. How?

[Anatoliy]

So I created a new tab and linked it to a forum node. Everything works fine except it doesn't look "active" (the "Forums" tab is highlighted).
Can't figure this one out. Please help.

This is one way of doing it.

Create the navigation entry with a blank parent navigation entry.

Edit the forum_view template and add this at the top:

<xf:if is="$forum.node_id == 8">
    <xf:page option="section">navigation_id</xf:page>
</xf:if>

Change the 8 to the forum node ID.

Change the navigation_id to the navigation entry ID.

Epic, I had exactly the same problem on my forum for some time and this has helped to fix it totally. Legend.

Just select the active Navigation in the Node Settings.

@Hoffi I knew there had to be a simpler way than hacking the templates. Nice one, works perfectly.
