Years ago I luckily recieved this Plugin - unfortunatly I don`t know PHP
This phplugin works with BL1 but not BL3
It enables the selected menu-item to hold its color as long pages in that menu are selected.
On BL1 this PHPlugin works perfectly as can be seen here:

On BL3 the same PHPlugin does not work as can be seen here:

Can anybody help me? What needs to be changed in the code?

*
* ttg_user_load

you need to update to the latest phplugins file found in your Backlight 3 Installer download. use the phplugins-pangolin-sample.php file. You'll find it in the backlight/custom/phplugins folder.
paste your functions into the new file.
Then you'll need to modify the functions
for example, this:
function ttg_navigation( $style, $path ) {becomes this:
function navigation() {You also may need to change the html in your code as some html structure has changed between BL1 and Bl2/3
see this: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8966
and the phplugins documentation: https://backlight.me/docs/using-phplugins

OK... what I have done wasn't based on deep knowledge... but it works, thank you @Matt and @Rod.
My initial mistake was not to realize, that I had overpasted the new phplugins-pangolin-sample.php,
because I had copied and pasted the folders "custom" and "data" completely from the BL1 site.
Is there anything else in these 2 folders, that should be used from Backlight3 ?
(excluding my design from BL 1... that I have happily transferred)
So far I am happy that I managed to jump from BL1 to BL3

I don't think so.
