Custom Menu Item Names

[sprankhub]

Sorry for spamming, but I hope you appreciate the ideas to make this menu even more flexible ;)

I know that one can change the "Menu Name" for a category globally under the "MegaMenu Settings" tab. Anyway, in some situations, it is necessary to link the same category under different names in the menu. Hence, it would be good to have the possibility to change the menu name per link. This could be implemented by supporting a custom name in the widgets:

Old:

{{widget type="theextensionlab_megamenu/widget_category_list" category_json="{\"categories\":[{\"id\":\"123\"}]}" display_on="small,medium,large" template="theextensionlab/megamenu/categories/list.phtml"}}

New:

{{widget type="theextensionlab_megamenu/widget_category_list" category_json="{\"categories\":[{\"id\":\"123\",\"name\":\"My Custom Name\"}]}" display_on="small,medium,large" template="theextensionlab/megamenu/categories/list.phtml"}}

More spam the better!
Thanks for the suggestion, and you are dead right, I tried to implement this so that when you drag a category across into the "Your Categories" section you can just double click edit the name and have it pop into the category_json like you've just shown.

ExtJs (the Js libary that magento category trees use) has an option for this, but Magento version is very outdated and I couldn't figure it out, so left it for another day to move onto other bits. Will tackle again at some point, when I am brave enough to try to understand that libary again.

Nice. For the meantime, it would at least be helpful if this was possible by manually extending the JSON string. This should be quite straightforward for you I think :)

You can now override the name of a category using "custom_name":"My Custom Name".

(Still manual - hopefully will get around to a nice UX to input this at a later date).

That is already awesome, thanks a lot!

Just a quick note if anybody comes across this before we get around to it and happens to be handy with ExtJs - we will reward you with a £100 bounty in the form of store credit to be used on http://www.theextensionlab.com if you can implement a nice UI to be able to do this when categories are dragged across within the current drag and drop widget.
