Autonav display by attribute 5.6.0+

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have been building a c5 site since 5.5.2.1 and am attempting to do a clean upgrade to 5.6.0.2

Currently I am attempting to update the very messy autonav templates to the new MUCH cleaner format. A core feature I had added was the ability to have different templates displaying only pages with a specific attribute. This was accomplished in the old template with the following code:
$aBlocks = $controller->generateNav();
foreach($aBlocks as $ni) {
   $_c = $ni->getCollectionObject();
   if ($_c->getCollectionAttributeValue('include_header_nav')) {


The error that occurs:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::getCollectionObject() in /home/alivetest/test4/blocks/autonav/templates/header_nav.php on line 9


I have tried using the same method with no success under the new template. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind, figured it out, code below:
$_c = $ni->cObj;
if ($_c->getCollectionAttributeValue('include_header_nav')) {



edit: Sorry to anyone who copied this code before 2013.10.15, the variable $obj clashed with the one in block_view_template.

thanks this is very helpful. for a designer its hard to figure out the auto nav when the code has changed in latest c5 :)

its the little snippets of code that make the difference.

i do like how clean the auto nav code is now in latest c5

this is my attempt at getting a auto nav to show a top level page and its children. great for side panel navs when your client askes to only include certain pages on the side panel.
 
foreach ($navItems as $ni) {
$loop = 0;
$_c = $ni->cObj;
if ($_c->getCollectionAttributeValue('include_in_gallery_side_nav')) {
   $i = 1;
   $loop = 1;
   }
   else if ($i == 1 && $ni->level != 1) {
      $loop = 1;
   }
   else if ($i == 1 && $ni->level == 1) {
      $i = 0;
      // $loop = 1;
   }
      if ($loop == 1) {

you only need to add the attribute to the top level page and it will know to keep looping to finish the drop down. take a look at this side nav on the last site i made http://www.showyourmussel.co.uk/join/visitor/...
