[Typo3] Current menu item on top (first in the list)

[Peter Klein]

Hi Cyprian . Here's a different approch, using a small itemArrayProcFunc 
function.

Create a file named "menuFunc.inc" in your fileadmin dir, and copy/paste 
this content into the file.

-- cut --
<?
class user_itemArrayProcFunc {

  // Move menu item with ACT state, to the beginning of menuarray
  //
  // Usage in menu:
  //     itemArrayProcFunc = user_itemArrayProcFunc->actStateFirst
  //
 function actStateFirst($menuArr,$conf) {
   $new_menuArr = array();
   while(list($k,$v)=each($menuArr)) {
     if ($conf["parentObj"]->isItemState("ACT",$k) ) {
       // If the menu is in one of the ACT states (ACT, ACTIFSUB + RO),
       // then we place it at the BEGINNING af the new menuarray
       array_unshift($new_menuArr,$menuArr[$k]);
     }
     else {
       // Otherwise we just place it at the END of the new menuarray
       array_push($new_menuArr,$menuArr[$k]);
     }
   }
   return $new_menuArr;
 }
}
?>
-- cut --

Then in the top of your SETUP field , add a line like this:

-- cut --
  includeLibs.MenuFunc = fileadmin/menuFunc.inc
-- cut --

And in your TMENU/GMENU add this line (Check TSREF for the placement in the 
menu structure):

-- cut --
 itemArrayProcFunc = user_itemArrayProcFunc->actStateFirst
-- cut --

I have only tested it using a TMENU, so let me know if it works using 
TMENU_LAYERS/GMENU_LAYERS as well.
