Sub-Categories active/current link

I have a UL accordion menu, with nested UL subcategories - something like this:

Code:

<ul>

<li><a href="#">Category</a></li>

<li><a href="#" class="current">Category</a>

     <ul>

     <li><a href="#">Sub-Category</a></li>

     <li><a href="#" class="currentsub">Sub-Category</a></li>

     <li><a href="#">Sub-Category</a></li>

     </ul>

</li>

<li><a href="#">Category</a></li>

<li><a href="#">Category</a></li>

</ul>

It works pretty well, when on a Category page the 'current' class is applied to highlight what category the user is on. Basic stuff.

Though I can't figure out for the life of me how to do the same for subcategories... ie. have a sub-category and it's parent-category applied with a 'current' class.

I've searched the forums though can't seem to find out how. Any help or pointers would be hugely appreciated, still getting my head around x-cart.

Re: Sub-Categories active/current link

I figured this out - for future reference if any newbies need help like I did:

Just be clever with some if/else statements ie:

Apply class to current category <a>
{if $current_category.categoryid eq $c.categoryid} class="expand"{/if}

Apply class to current category parent <a>
{if $current_category.parentid eq $c.categoryid} class="expand" {/if}

Sub Category menu items are different --
{if $current_category.categoryid eq $cat.categoryid} class="subactive"{/if}
