Hello

I am using the tree menu and if the item is the active item I wish to change the css class

For example

Folder1
Folder2
Folder2a
Folder2b

If the user is in folder 2b I want to set the <a class="xxx" .... /> to a variable item

I tried to assign a variable a value and then reference the value in the section show script (where the wiki page tree menu example uses a #) with no luck

I was looking for something more subtle like set the font on the active path items to bold for example.

Any help would be appreciated

If I understand you right:
use css class="font5" and class="font6"
Variable menu_css is set in:
{let top_cat=24
used_node=false()
menu_css=5
menu_css_active=6
}

to get it:
{$menu_css} and {$menu_css_active}

in the wiki example:
{* FIRST LEVEL *}
{section loop=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,$top_cat, class_filter_type, "include", class_filter_array, array(),sort_by,array(array(priority))))}

<a class="topmenu" href={concat("/content/view/full/",$:item.node_id,"/")|ezurl} class="font{section show=eq($:item.node_id,$used_node)}
{$menu_css_active}
{section-else}
{section show=$node_obj.path_array|contains($:item.node_id)}
{$menu_css}
{/section}
{/section}">{$:item.name}</a><br />

With the following change it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the help and a speed response. Great to know there is a committed community behind Exponential.

<a class="font{section show=eq($:item.node_id,$used_node)}
{$menu_css_active}
{section-else}
{section show=$node_obj.path_array|contains($:item.node_id)}
{$menu_css}
{/section}
{/section}
"href={concat("/content/view/full/",$:item.node_id,"/")|ezurl}>{$:item.name}</a><br />
