Help with Customizing Navigation Menus

[mvlcek]

Awesome. The I18N plugin is working well. One question I have now come across. I would like to store additional values like colors using the custom fields plugin and then access them in the navigation bar creation component. I then tried using

Code:

<?php echo return_custom_field('link-color'); ?>;"></span>

However it would always give me the current page that I am on's link color and not the link color of the page that the program is currently outputting. Is what I'm trying possible?

You need to name your custom field like a valid PHP variable (characters, _, NO -), e.g. linkcolor.
Then you can access it in your component for I18N navigation rendering e.g. like:

Code:

<span style="color:<?php echo $item->linkcolor ? htmlspecialchars($item->linkcolor) : 'black'; ?>;">...</span>

(uses black, if linkcolor is not set; htmlspecialchars for security reasons, if you use a text field as opposed to a dropdown)
