[wp-hackers] active link on menu when on a post

[aesqe]

you can filter the menu css classes. try something like this (be aware 
that this function does not take custom post types or taxonomies in 
account - just posts, pages and categories):

function filter_nav_menu_css_class( $classes, $item )
{
	if( is_singular() )
	{
		global $post;
		
		if( is_page() )
		{
			if( in_array($item->object_id, $post->ancestors) )
				$classes[] = 'current-menu-item';
		}
		else // post
		{
			if( 'category' == $item->object )
			{
				$categories = get_term_children( $item->object_id, 'category');
				$categories[] = $item->object_id;

				if( in_category($categories, $post->ID) )
					$classes[] = 'current-menu-item';
			}
		}
	}
	
	return $classes;
}
add_filter('nav_menu_css_class', 'filter_nav_menu_css_class', 10, 2);
