Generating a "title" attribute for menu entries

Hello,

I'm trying to have "tooltips" displayed when one is hovering the main menu entries (to give a short description of it), but I can't figure out how to retrieve the information in the menu template. I use the template below, which is a modified topdrop menu. I want the description to go in <a title="description">Menu entry</a>

{def 
$goleft=ezini( 'TopDrop', 'goleft', 'design.ini')
$item_class = array()
$current_node_in_path = first_set($module_result.path[1].node_id, 0 )
}

{let top_cat=2 used_node=false()}
{set used_node=2}
	
<div class="menu"><ul> {def $base=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', 2 ) )} 

{* FIRST LEVEL *}

{def $i=0}

{section loop=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,$top_cat, class_filter_type, "include", class_filter_array, array(1, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 38, 39),sort_by,$base.sort_array))}
	{let child_check=fetch(content,list,hash(parent_node_id,$:item.node_id, class_filter_type, "include", class_filter_array, array(1, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 38, 39),sort_by,$base.sort_array))}
	{set $i=inc( $i )}
	{set $item_class = cond($current_node_in_path|eq($item.node_id), array("selected"), array())}

	<li class="{$item_class|implode(" ")}"><a class="{concat('menu_',$i)}" title="{$:item.name}" href={$:item.url_alias|ezurl}>{$:item.name}

{section show=$child_check|count|gt(0)}
	{* SECOND LEVEL *}
...from here it's default topdrop...

For the moment the code gives me obviously the same content for the entry and the description. How to do something like $node.data_map.description in this context? Thanks!

Hello

You can do ti like this if your description attribute is simple text:

<a class="{concat('menu_',$i)}" title="{$:item.data_map.description.content}" href={$:item.url_alias|ezurl}>
 

If your description attribute is not simple text (for example online editor text) then you need to strip_tags. About strip_tags you can find out more on this forum.

It's indeed simple text, and your solution works perfectly :-)
Thanks a lot for your help !

Remember to use the wash operator in case the content includes " for instance.

Yes, of course:

<a class="{concat('menu_',$i)}" title="{$:item.data_map.description.content|wash}" href={$:item.url_alias|ezurl}>
