How to highlight current post title in multiply lists

    Hi!
    I read this post about this matter in a single list, and it works fine. But I was wondering how it’s possible to make several post-lists with the highlight-function.

    the code to highlight the title of the post showing on the single-post-page:

    <ul class="sidebar-ul">
<?php

$IDOutsideLoop = $post->ID;
global $post;

$myposts = get_posts('showposts=5');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>

<li <?php
if(is_single() && $IDOutsideLoop == $post->ID) 

{
echo " class=\"current\"";
}
?>>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</ul>

    I use this code to show multiple lists:

    // FIRST LOOP: display posts 1 thru 5
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=0'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count1 = 0; if ($count1 == "5") { break; } else { ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php $count1++; } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

// SECOND LOOP: display posts 6 thru 10
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=5'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count2 = 0; if ($count2 == "5") { break; } else { ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php $count2++; } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

    Little confused by the 2 differing pieces of code you posted, but here’s a refined version of the second chunk, adjust the code as required.

    <?php
$poststoshow = 5;
if(is_single()) { $currentpost = get_the_ID(); }

$posts = get_posts('numberposts='.$poststoshow); ?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach ($posts as $post) { 

	setup_postdata($post);
	static $count1 = 0; 

	if ($count1 == "5") {
		break;
	}
	else { ?>
		<li<?php if($currentpost == $post->ID) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><?php the_title();?></li>
		<?php
		//the_content();
		$count1++;
	}
} ?>
</ul>
<?php
unset($posts);
$posts = get_posts('numberposts='.$poststoshow.'&offset='.$count1);
?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach ($posts as $post) {

	setup_postdata($post);
	static $count2 = 0;
	if ($count2 == "5") {
		break;
	}
	else { ?>
		<li<?php if($currentpost == $post->ID) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><?php the_title();?></li>
		<?php
		//the_content();
		$count2++;
	}
}
?>
</ul>

    ah, thank you! ;D
    just as I wanted!

    (I just copied the second code directly from a page, and didn’t edit it to be a list. Sorry for the inconvenience!)
