Just joined the list. Let me first say what a great app Radiant seems  
to be. Good job.

I’m using the following navigation tag snippet:

- 
- 
- 

The problem is that “home” is always being classified as ‘here’. All  
other urls work properly.

Do I have the syntax wrong?

Thanks,

Steve

No. This is a limitation of the navigation tag. You can work around the  
problem by using a set of navigation tags:

> 

\<r:navigation urls=“home: /”\>  
\<r:normal\>

- \<r:title /\>
\</r:normal\>  
\<r:here\>- \<r:title /\>
\</r:here\>  
\<r:selected\>- \<r:title  
/\>
\</r:selected\>  
\<r:between\>\</r:between\>  
\</r:navigation\>  
\<r:navigation urls="learn: /learn/; news: /news/; join: /

> join/; about: /about/"\>  
> \<r:normal\>

> \</r:navigation\>

Way too verbose, I know. If someone has a better idea for a set of tags  
for this let me know.

Don’t know if it’s any better, but I use if\_url and unless\_url for  
the home page link:

- Home
- Home

```
<r:navigation urls="Products: /products/; Services: /services/;

```

Contact Us: /contact-us/;"\>  
\<r:normal\>

- \<r:title /\>
\</r:normal\>  
\<r:here\>- \<r:title /\>
\</r:here\>  
\<r:selected\>- \<r:title /

> 

\</r:selected\>  
\</r:navigation\>
