Simple question, but I can’t find any documentation on how to implement the following.
How do I have a simple link in my main navigation to a page with a more “meaningful” title. For instance, I would like a page title to be “Biography of Clinton W. Gray”, but the nav should just be “BIO”.
I would introduce a new field in the blueprint, e.g. menu_title and fetch that for the menu instead of the title.
Right, thanks. I thought about something like that, but it seemed complicated for the use case. I thought there might be a “slug” or something similar in the API.
Yes, there is $page->slug().
Edit: You could use either ucfirst() or strtolower() on the page slug.
ucfirst($page->slug());
to make the first character of the slug uppercase.
Thanks. I’m playing with that now, but it’s not exactly doing what I wanted. The issue is the $page->slug only gives me the slug of the page, not of all the pages ( children()->visible() ) for the nav. Your blueprint suggestion seems the best route. Will mark solved once I have it working.
Could you post your code? Of course you have to use the method within your foreach loop …
<?php
foreach($page->children()->visible() as $child) {
echo ucfirst($child->slug());
}
?>
Solved! I was doing:
$item->slug()->html()
and getting function html() on a non-object error.
Once I removed html() everything worked great. Thanks for your help!
