Active class on node with NAVEE I have a simple nav tag

{% set navConfig = {
    'startwithActive' : true,
    'maxDepth' : 2,
    'activeClassOnAncestors' : true,
    'ancestorActiveClass' : 'active',
} %}
    {% nav node in navigation %}

      &lt;li{% if node.class %} class="{{ node.class }}"{% endif %}&gt;
        &lt;a href="{{ node.link }}"&gt;{{ node.title }}&lt;/a&gt;
        {% ifchildren %}
             &lt;ul class="dropdown"&gt;{% children %}&lt;/ul&gt;
        {% endifchildren %}
    &lt;/li&gt;
{% endnav %}


This works fine all but with the News section entries. my-site/news adds the active class to the link, but my-site/news/new-entry doesn't add the class to the ancestor.

I have tried most configurations with the available parameters and variables, but I cannot work it out.

Any help would be brilliant!
I think what you want to look at is the Regular Expression option under the advanced tab for your my-site/news node. You could add something like:

 /^my-site\/news/i


This way all of the child pages in that section will mark the News page as active.
