How can I 'un-active' header if certain criteria meets?

[TetraTheta]

I have header menu defined in menu.yml to be like this:

• Chit Chat
• Game
  • Some
  • Other
  • Games
• Genshin Impact
  • Some
  • Other
  • Stuffs
  • Misc

But, actual file structure is like this:

content/blog
├ chit-chat
└ game
  ├ some
  ├ other
  ├ games
  └ genshin-impact
    ├ some
    ├ other
    ├ stuffs
    └ misc

This menu and actual file structure unmatch is intended.

Many Hugo theme including HB Theme (Sorry, I forgot what theme I'm currently using is now called as) doesn't support nested child menu like [Game - Genshin Impact - Misc].

This is only way to show child menu of 'Genshin Impact' to header, by defining 'Genshin Impact' child menu as parent menu in menu.yml.

But in this layout, both 'Game' and 'Genshin Impact' header menu is set as active for posts in 'Genshin Impact' because is-current.html function will return true for both 'Game' and 'Genshin Impact' menu, thus highlighting them.

I want to 'un-active' 'Game' menu if 'Genshin Impact' menu is also active.

But I don't know what file to modify for this. is-current.html? menu.html? Also, how should I modify it?

Sorry if this question looks like asking for spoon-feeding. I've completely lost my way of how to modify things to achieve my goal.

Create file layouts/partials/hb/modules/header/functions/is-current.html on your site with the same content, and remove line 3-12.

Any files with same path from your site root will get higher priority and override the theme/module's, but that also mean, you may not get updated fully when upstream theme/module changed.

I haven't test, tweak it to suit your needs.

Thank you! I've managed to tweak it to my goal.

{{/* Indicate whether the menu is the current page. */}}
{{- $v := or (.Page.IsMenuCurrent "main" .Menu) (.Page.HasMenuCurrent "main" .Menu) -}}
{{- if ne .Menu.URL "" -}}
  {{- $homeURL := strings.TrimSuffix "/" site.Home.Permalink -}}
  {{- $menuURL := strings.TrimSuffix "/" (absURL .Menu.URL) -}}
  {{- $pageURL := strings.TrimSuffix "/" .Page.Permalink -}}
  {{- $v = or $v (eq $menuURL $pageURL) (and (ne $menuURL $homeURL) (hasPrefix $pageURL $menuURL)) -}}
  {{/* Filter Genshin Impact */}}
  {{- with and (strings.Contains $menuURL "game") (not (strings.Contains $menuURL "genshin-impact")) (strings.Contains $pageURL "genshin-impact") -}}
    {{- $v = not . -}}
  {{- end -}}
{{- end -}}
{{- return $v -}}

I'm not sure about its efficiency, but at least, it works as I want.
