Simple navigation styling and extra category attributes for Magento.

Installation

Composer

php composer.phar require bennoislost/easy-navigation

Then refresh Magento caches.

Usage

Select a catalog/category attribute for use

Add the following snippit to your modules config.xml inside the default node. Replace my_new_catalog_attr with the attribute code you wish to be displayed in your navigation.

<frontend>
    <category>
        <collection>
            <attributes>
                <my_new_catalog_attr/>
            </attributes>
        </collection>
    </category>
</frontend>

Display a selected attribute

Copy the following templates to your design package / theme.

• app/design/frontend/base/default/template/bennoislost/easy-navigation/single-level.phtml
• app/design/frontend/base/default/template/bennoislost/easy-navigation/level-with-children.phtml

You can now use the following snippet to return the catalog/category attribute value in your template.

$this->getMenu()->getCategoryData()->getData('my_new_catalog_attr');

Replace my_new_catalog_attr with your attribute code.

With blocks in Magento these can be extended and replaced :)
