Question

I\'m creating an accordion layout for an admin sidebar. Now I need to identify the active link and add a class active to that link. Here is my code:

Answer 1

I know this is pretty old but i found a good solution.

Based on Faisal's answer i wrote my own simple Helper:

App::uses('AppHelper', 'View/AppHelper');

class PVHtmlHelper extends AppHelper {

    public $helpers = array('Html');

    public function link($title = null, $url = null, $options) {

        if ($title == null || $url == null)
            return;

        $class = (($this->params['controller']===$url['controller']) && ($this->params['action']==$url['action']) )?'active' :'';

        echo "
" . $this->Html->link($title, $url, $options) . "
";
    }

}

Maybe you need to modify the echo
