I wrote a custom rendering component for twitter bootstrap nav bars and dropdowns.

I need to know what the $show parameter was when the component is called.
Is there anyway to get this, or can you pass it in as an object parameter with item ?

If you only need to know whether to show titles or menu texts, there is the attribute showTitles.
Otherwise you could either use different components or you can store the parameter in a global variable.
E.g. template:

Code:

...
<?php
global $myshow;
$myshow = I18N_SHOW_NORMAL;
get_i18n_navigation(return_page_slug(),0,0,$myshow,'mycomponent');
?>
...

and component mycomponent:

Code:

<?php
global $myshow;
if ($myshow & I18N_FILTER_MENU) {
...

I guess that works, I was trying to do it dynamically for ease of use for users of that theme. But i guess if they need to touch the code they can do a work around also or I can write my own wrappers for all the functions or rethink how i am doing this. (bootstrap doesn't have dual function drop downs by default, you cant click on the title OR a dropdown, its only dropdown. So I was doing it click if normal and dropdown only, if menu OR isopen so you get the dropdown after clicking the menu item on its page when its current and open.

sorry for rambling, Ill probably post all details on this somewhere more relative lol.

Thanks for the ideas, I was code blinded at the time.
