Laravel 4.1 Request::is for active menu not working

laravel-4, php

Solution

changed to:

<li
   {{{ (Request::is('/core') ? 'class=active' : '') }}}><a href="{{{ URL::to('/core')  }}}">Control Panel</a>
</li>

from `'class="active"'` to `'class=active'`

This working fine for `<li>` tag but not `<a>` tag, needs to be used like so:

<a href="{{{ URL::to('core') }}}" class="list-group-item {{{ (Request::is('core') ? 'active' : '') }}}">Overview</a>

Problem

I'm trying to make a menu active depending on route in laravel 4.1, my attempt: ``` <li {{{ (Request::is('/core') ? 'class="active"' : '') }}}><a href="{{{ URL::to('/core') }}}">Control Panel</a> </li> ``` My route: ``` Route::get('/core', 'CoreController@Showindex'); ``` This is not throwing any errors just simply ignored. any help is appreciated.
