Hi again everyone,  
Now after upgrading i’m realizing my navigation\_tags are not working  
anymore

Here’s a code example

\<r:children:each\>

```
<li>

  <r:if_ancestor_or_self>

   <r:link class="active-cat" />

  </r:if_ancestor_or_self>

</li>

```

\</r:children:each\>

I get this in the output when I call that page

undefined method `url’ for nil:NilClass

It does iterate through the children since I can do \<r:link/\> on its own

This used to work with Radiant 0.6.3, I also got the latest revision of  
the  
navigation tag (r83) but same result.

if I look at navigation\_tags.rb this is the definition

desc %{

```
Renders the contained element if the current item is an ancestor of 

```

the  
current page or if it is the page itself.

}

tag “if\_ancestor\_or\_self” do |tag|

```
Page.benchmark "TAG: if_ancestor_or_self - #{tag.locals.page.url}" 

```

do

```
  tag.expand if tag.globals.actual_page.url.starts_with?(

```

tag.locals.page.url)

```
end

```

end

I’m not a rails coder in any way so any help is appreciated

Thank you

Christian

Christian,

I haven’t had a chance to test navigation\_tags in 0.6.4. I’ll check it  
out and post a fix if I find one. Meantime, if you figure something  
out, please send me a patch.

tag.globals.actual\_page was replaced with tag.globals.page in 0.6.4.  
Change that part of the tag and it should work as before.

Cheers,

Sean

Hey guys,

Even with that changed I was never able to get \<r:if\_self\> working BUT  
\<r:if\_ancestor\_or\_self\> seemed to work like it used to.

I mentioned that about a month ago, FYI.
