reading value of select attribute
Permalink
Hi,
I am trying to have customized menu, based on attributes. In one of the tutorials I read how to do that.
I have the attribute top_menu_class added to some of my pages, I created customized template in autonav/templates and it is working fine.
Now I am trying to customize the menu adding some icons via css. Each menu needs its own icon, so I wanted to add the class to the html via attribute in C5. I decided that the best way would be having list of predefined attributes. I created select attribute with options like
home, faq, help and blog.
Now in the customized file
header_menu_top.php (based on original header_menu) I would like to read the value of selected attribute, but it seems that value is private and I can't find correct method to read it.
I would appreciate if I could get some help.
Piece of code:
foreach($aBlocks as $ni) {
$_c = $ni->getCollectionObject();
if ($_c->getCollectionAttributeValue('top_menu_class')) {
...
//I don;t know how to read value stored in
$_c->getCollectionAttributeValue('top_menu_class')->options[0]['value']
I can see that the value of the attribute sits there but can't access that variable.
I will appreciate any help
Thanks
Norbert

I tried to access this private properties finding them by print_r, but actually it was very easy.
The code below creates custom menu from pages that uses select attribute which name is 'top_menu_class'. Additionally it adds css class that is defined by this attribute.
Thanks to that construction I can simply build graphical top menu:
Here's my header_menu_top.php file
