Update MyLinks.ascx to have the "active" Css Class.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

THere's a hidden feature in Subtext I'd like to expose via *every* default 
skin. Here's an example of the MyLinks.ascx control in my skin. Notice the 
ActiveCssClass property of the NavigationLink control.

<%@ Control Language="c#" Inherits="Subtext.Web.UI.Controls.MyLinks" %>
<ul>
    <li class="pagehome">
        <span><st:NavigationLink Runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" Text="Home" ID="HomeLink" 
ActiveCssClass="current" /></span>
    </li>
    <li class="pagearchives">
        <span><st:NavigationLink Runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="~/Archives.aspx" Text="Archives" ID="Archives" 
ActiveCssClass="current" /></span>
    </li>
    <li class="pagecontact">
        <span><st:NavigationLink Runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="~/Contact.aspx" Text="Contact" ID="ContactLink" 
ActiveCssClass="current" /></span>
    </li>
    <li class="pageresume">
        <span><a href="/Docs/PhillipHaack_Resume.html" title="My 
Resume">Resume</a></span>
    </li>
    <li class="pageprivacy">
        <span><st:NavigationLink Runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="/articles/PrivacyPolicy.aspx" Text="Privacy" 
ActiveCssClass="current" /></span>
    </li>
    <li class="pagejobs">
        <span></span>
    </li>
</ul>
<!-- Not Visible -->
<asp:HyperLink Runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Rss.aspx" ID="XMLLink" 
Visible="False" title="RSS Feed" />
<asp:HyperLink Runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Rss.aspx" Text="Syndication" 
ID="Syndication" title="Syndication" Visible="False" />
<asp:HyperLink Runat="server" Text="Admin" ID="Admin" title="Admin" 
Visible="False" />

Moving to the next release. Nice to have, but not urgent.

I could do this one. I'm just wondering if the value of the ActiveCssClass 
property should be "current" or "active". In your sample it's current. Within 
the MyLinks.ascx of the Nature skin it's "active".

Technically, it doesn't matter as long as it matches the value in the skin's 
CSS. For consistency sake though, let's use "active" since as you pointed out, 
the Nature skin uses it. If you supply a patch, we'd be grateful. :)

The changes to the MyLinks.ascx files are done. As most skins don't have a rule 
for the active state of a navigation link, I'm currently editing the css files 
in order to add such a rule.
Patch should be there by the end of this week

You're welcome. But it seems that two images that I've created didn't make it 
into my patch file (even though I've selected them). Sorry for that!

Could you please add them to the
\Skins\Semagogy\Images directory?
