<p>On my category listing pages i have a static block on my left menu with two links:</p> <p>1) The category listing page link 2) CMS page of details.</p> <p>The CMS page of details calls the exact same static block on it's left menu too.</p> <p>My question:</p> <p>How can Magento know in the static block of links that it is on the listing page or the cms page, and add a class of "active" to the link so we can change the CSS styling for the "active" page that is being viewed?</p> <p>I'm open to a different approach then I currently have setup if that makes it more manageable. </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>EDIT 1</p> <p>Link block (grc_sidebar_links)</p> <pre><code><div class="arrow"><a href="/category/a.html">Category A</a></div> <div class="arrow"><a href="/cata-specs">Specs and Pricing</a></div> </code></pre> <p>Sidebar block's html (grc_sidebar_spec_summary):</p> <pre><code><div class="sidebar_top">{{block type="cms/block" block_id="grc_sidebar_links"}}</div> </code></pre> <p>And then in the category i have the following layout update for the page:</p> <pre><code><reference name="left"> <block type="cms/block" name="block_sidebar_top" before="-"> <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>grc_sidebar_spec_summary</block_id></action> </block> </reference> </code></pre> <p>And then in the CMS page i have the following layout update:</p> <pre><code><reference name="left"> <block type="cms/block" name="block_sidebar_top"> <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>grc_sidebar_spec_summary</block_id></action> </reference> </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
