Prepending 'Home' instead of home page title to navigation?

[antknight]

I am using the nav code snippet from the default site, but I would like to display 'Home' in the nav instead of the home page title.

<ul id='topnav'><?php

   $homepage = $pages->get("/");
   $children = $homepage->children;
   $children->prepend($homepage);

   foreach($children as $child) {
 $class = $child === $page->rootParent ? " class='on'" : '';
 echo "<li><a$class href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>";
   }
  ?></ul>

Any help much appreciated

<ul id='topnav'><?php

$homepage = $pages->get("/");
$children = $homepage->children;
// we don't prepend the homepage to the array anymore

foreach($children as $child) {
   $class = $child === $page->rootParent ? " class='on'" : '';
   echo "<li><a$class href='{$homepage->url}'>Home</a></li>"; //echo the homepage
   echo "<li><a$class href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>";
}
?></ul>

Well you could have a title field and a headline (like on basic profile)

You could name the title on home "Home" which will be taken for the navigation, and the headline your other title you output on the page. That's much better than hardcoding it.

Thank diogo but that doesn't work because it adds a home link foreach child page.

I will take Soma's advice

oh, of course, sorry! the homepage has to go outside the loop

<ul id='topnav'><?php

$homepage = $pages->get("/");
$children = $homepage->children;
$class = $homepage === $page ? " class='on'" : '';
echo "<li><a$class href='{$homepage->url}'>Home</a></li>";

foreach($children as $child) {
       $class = $child === $page->rootParent ? " class='on'" : '';
       echo "<li><a$class href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>";
}
?></ul>

This should work, i also had to check for the class another time for the homepage only. This is not the DRYest code, but should work.

Try Soma's suggestion, seems more clever than this

You can also take a different approach to soma's suggestion. Instead of changing title and headline, just create a new field "nav" for each page and change this in your code:

<ul id='topnav'><?php

$homepage = $pages->get("/");
$children = $homepage->children;
$children->prepend($homepage);

foreach($children as $child) {
   $class = $child === $page->rootParent ? " class='on'" : '';
   $nav = $child->nav ? $child->nav : $child->title;
   echo "<li><a$class href='{$child->url}'>{$nav}</a></li>";
}
?></ul>

Now you can choose the nav text for any page, and if left blank, the title will be used
