Hi

I see a couple of cases:

a) As in your example, you have some portal tab which points to some folder 
(say "company1/jobs"). You want this tab to remain selected whenever the 
current location is a child of "company1/jobs".

You can use  portal_url.getRelativeContentPath(obj), which returns a list, and 
check if tab['id'] is in it. 

For example, in script "header", line 134:

        <metal:block tal:repeat="tab portal_tabs">
            <a href="" class=""
               tal:attributes="href tab/url;
                               class 
python:test(selected_portal_tab==tab['id'], 'selected', 'plain')">
                <span tal:omit-tag="" i18n:translate=""><span 
tal:replace="tab/name">dummy</span></span>
            </a>
        </metal:block>

you could replace 

	selected_portal_tab==tab['id']

by
	tab['id'] in here.portal_url.getRelativeContentPath(here)

It has the problem that some paths return an empty list (for example, 
$portal_url/news ). Also, there could be duplicated entries, but see next 
point.


b) You have some portal tab (which points to, say, "company1/jobs"),  but you 
only want the tab to be selected whenever the current location is exactly 
"company1/jobs", not some child of it.

I found that modifying "selectedTabs.py" to use "contentpath[-1]" worked in 
some cases but not in others. 

Specifically, it worked when the current location was a folder without 
"index_html", or other kind of object (not a folder).

A workaround is this:

Create some portal action:

	Name: Reuniones
	id: reuniones
	Action: string: $portal_url/data/reuniones/reuniones
	...

and put the content you would put normally in

	 $portal_url/data/reuniones/index_html 
in 

	$portal_url/data/reuniones/reuniones


Hope this helps.


Regards


  Juan Pablo
