name/define different pages/links

[Ljubo]

Hi all,
sorry for being such a novice that I really do not have a clue to which topic I should write this…

anyway, here is the story:
I am a user of opencart (MVC - model, view, controller system) and a bit modifying some templates of it with trial by error method.

I am stuck now with the following problem and desperately need some help from you guys:

1. template has a top menu with class designed outlook and hover effect. however, a completely different class is designed if the link is active.
2. so, I have managed to differ it by php if function in the header.tpl file under
   section, like as follows:

[code]<li<?php if($currentpage == $home) {echo " class=menu_1_active";} else {echo " class=menu_1";}?>><?php echo $text_home;?>

...[/code] 3. in header.php file of controller folder, I have inserted the line: [code]$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];[/code] just before the line> [code]$this->data['title'] = $this->document->getTitle();[/code] the result is an error with message that variable $currentpage is not defined.

if I insert the line:

$this->data['currentpage'] = $this->$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

before the line:

$this->data['currentpage'] = $this->$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

it gets me back with neither an error nor desired effect.

What am I doing wrong here?

Can anybody help with instructions how and where to name/define different pages / links in the opencart system?

Help is extremely appreciated.

Thank you!
