I've created an additional, static navigation that features a few links to important pages on our Magento website. It's a little nasty, but here's how it's coded:
<?php
$currentUrl = Mage::helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
$url = Mage::getSingleton('core/url')->parseUrl($currentUrl);
$path = $url->getPath();
?>
<ul class="full-width-offer-strip">
<li><a class="button <?php if (strpos($path,'item1') !== false) { echo 'active'; } ?>" href="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(); ?>item1">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a class="button <?php if (strpos($path,'item2') !== false) { echo 'active'; } ?>" href="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(); ?>item2">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a class="button <?php if (strpos($path,'item3') !== false) { echo 'active'; } ?>" href="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(); ?>item3">Item 3</a></li>
</ul>
Every so often I notice that when I'm on one of these pages there's another page also marked with the class active. As soon as I flush the Magento cache it goes away and functions as it should. Is it possible that Magento is caching the static block of another users active page, somehow?
