Hi, I got the example by Dastan Turysbekov (http://laravelsnippets.com/snippets/menu-activated) and changed a little bit. It's a simple Macro to use with Active Menu. You can use parameters and attributes as well.
//view.blade.php
<div class="menu">
<ul>
{{ HTML::menu_active('home', 'Home') }}
{{ HTML::menu_active('account', 'Account') }}
{{ HTML::menu_active('user-edit', 'Edit user', ['id' => Auth::id()]) }}
</ul>
</div>
//macro.php
HTML::macro('menu_active', function($route, $title, array $parameters = array(), array $attributes = array())
{
$url = str_replace(Request::root() . '/', '', route($route));
if ( Request::is( $url ) || Request::is( $url . '/*') ) {
$active ='<li class="active">' . link_to_route($route, $title, $parameters, $attributes) . '</li>';
}
else {
$active ='<li>' . link_to_route($route, $title, $parameters, $attributes) . '</li>';
}
return $active;
});
