My old addition to the script can be found here Ignore query in jQuery treeview persist location (i think it has been handled in his version too)
It is still a "problem" with persist, this time I output the menu with the item already selected by the class selected.
But when this is done, it wont expand to the item I have pre selected, that is why I made this little addition:
case "preSelected": var current = this.find("a.preSelected"); if ( current.length ) { // TODO update the open/closed classes var items = current.addClass("selected").parents("ul, li").add( current.next() ).show(); if (settings.prerendered) { // if prerendered is on, replicate the basic class swapping items.filter("li") .swapClass( CLASSES.collapsable, CLASSES.expandable ) .swapClass( CLASSES.lastCollapsable, CLASSES.lastExpandable ) .find(">.hitarea") .swapClass( CLASSES.collapsableHitarea, CLASSES.expandableHitarea ) .swapClass( CLASSES.lastCollapsableHitarea, CLASSES.lastExpandableHitarea ); } } break;
i just copied the location method and replaced this:
var current = this.find("a").filter(function() { return this.href.toLowerCase() == location.href.toLowerCase();with var current = this.find("a.preSelected")
The only thing left to do is to add the class preSelected to the selected item, when you output the treeview.
