I have custom links on my menu to /directory/album/subalbum/#thumbs
(linking to an internal page with javascript toggle. )
I want an active state on my custom menu links but they don't appear with the likes of

The custom link is probably meant for an external link. Can anyone guide me on another quick route?
thanks

To get the active status you need to use a link to respectively be on a page/item managed by Zenphoto. Otherwise it does not know about it.
However the "subalbum" should be active actually.

It is linking to a redirect and loaded with javascript.
I thought that was the problem but
link to album from custom link does not do anything

Is it supposed to?

Yes, as said custom links and their targets are unknown to Zenphoto.
