[Phpwebsite-developers] menus and categories

[Ton O. <ton...@he...>]

I am almost finished extending the Menuman module with category capability.

The last obstacle is the following.

I want to show a menu if the menu's category equals the category of one of
the other modules that are displayed. So I have to detect which categories
are currently displayed.

The problem is how to code this in PHP.

I thought the following method was the shortest:

- loop through mod_fatcat_elements;

- extract module_id, module_title and cat_id;

- check if module title is displayed with  " if (isset($_REQUEST['module'])
&& $_REQUEST['module']==module_title) "

So far so good, now I know if a module is displayed, but how can I check
that it is displayed with module_id?

For Pagemaster this would be with $_REQUEST['PAGE_id'], but is there some
generic expression I can use ?

Something like .. && $_REQUEST['module_id']==module_id?

Some suggestions?

Or maybe an other approach?

Thx in advance.
