Magento在Navigation.php中调用自定义类别属性

Question

(Magento Version 1.6)

I'm trying to display a custom category attribute I created to use in Navigation.php. The attribute is working fine if I use it in a place like app/design/frontend/default/MYTEMPLATE/catalog/category/view.phtml or page.phtml. I'm able to change in the backend no sweat as well.

I'm trying to display this new attribute in app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Navigation.php. I've copied this file to app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Block/Navigation.php and I'm doing my edits on this file.

Here is the code I'm trying to accomplish this with:

// Add Class if Category is a CMS Page 
    if (($level == 0) && ($category->getData('cms_category') == 1)) {
        $classes[] = 'cms-page';
    }

If anyone has a better way to go about this I'm not married to this solution.

You might have to instantiate a category model.

$categoryComplete = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category->getId());
