POMagento Category model not loading all data
text
Body
copied!<p>I am building a custom navigation menu in Magento which displays the categories from a different store with a different root category from the current store. Some of the categories should be hidden as they have 'Include in Navigation Menu' set to No.</p> <p>It should be possible to read this attribute from the category model as in this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5708266/how-do-i-detect-if-a-category-has-include-in-navigation-menu-set-to-no">How do I detect if a category has Include in Navigation Menu set to NO?</a></p> <p>However $category->getIncludeInMenu() is returning NULL for all categories on my Magento EE 1.11 installation.</p> <pre><code>// Load child categories for a specific root category $_uk_default_root_id = Mage::app()->getStore('uk_default')->getRootCategoryId(); $_uk_default_root_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_uk_default_root_id); $_sub_categories = $_uk_default_root_category->getChildrenCategories(); // Loop through the categories foreach ($_sub_categories as $_category) { if ($_category->getIsActive() && $_category->getIncludeInMenu()) { <echo navigation link> } } </code></pre> <p>A var dump of one of the categories shows no 'include_in_menu' attribute, although the 'is_active' attribute works as expected. Is there an alternative way to determine if a category should be displayed in the navigation?</p> <p>Var dump of category object:</p> <pre><code>object(Mage_Catalog_Model_Category)[423] protected '_eventPrefix' => string 'catalog_category' (length=16) protected '_eventObject' => string 'category' (length=8) protected '_cacheTag' => string 'catalog_category' (length=16) protected '_useFlatResource' => boolean false private '_designAttributes' => array (size=6) 0 => string 'custom_design' (length=13) 1 => string 'custom_design_from' (length=18) 2 => string 'custom_design_to' (length=16) 3 => string 'page_layout' (length=11) 4 => string 'custom_layout_update' (length=20) 5 => string 'custom_apply_to_products' (length=24) protected '_treeModel' => null protected '_defaultValues' => array (size=0) empty protected '_storeValuesFlags' => array (size=0) empty protected '_lockedAttributes' => array (size=0) empty protected '_isDeleteable' => boolean true protected '_isReadonly' => boolean false protected '_resourceName' => string 'catalog/category' (length=16) protected '_resource' => null protected '_resourceCollectionName' => string 'catalog/category_collection' (length=27) protected '_dataSaveAllowed' => boolean true protected '_isObjectNew' => null protected '_data' => array (size=15) 'entity_id' => string '16' (length=2) 'entity_type_id' => string '3' (length=1) 'attribute_set_id' => string '3' (length=1) 'parent_id' => string '15' (length=2) 'created_at' => string '2011-11-16 12:16:27' (length=19) 'updated_at' => string '2011-12-19 16:19:08' (length=19) 'path' => string '1/15/16' (length=7) 'position' => string '1' (length=1) 'level' => string '2' (length=1) 'children_count' => string '8' (length=1) 'is_active' => string '1' (length=1) 'request_path' => null 'name' => string 'Vacuum Cleaners' (length=15) 'url_key' => string 'vacuum-cleaners' (length=15) 'is_anchor' => string '1' (length=1) protected '_hasDataChanges' => boolean true protected '_origData' => array (size=15) 'entity_id' => string '16' (length=2) 'entity_type_id' => string '3' (length=1) 'attribute_set_id' => string '3' (length=1) 'parent_id' => string '15' (length=2) 'created_at' => string '2011-11-16 12:16:27' (length=19) 'updated_at' => string '2011-12-19 16:19:08' (length=19) 'path' => string '1/15/16' (length=7) 'position' => string '1' (length=1) 'level' => string '2' (length=1) 'children_count' => string '8' (length=1) 'is_active' => string '1' (length=1) 'request_path' => null 'name' => string 'Vacuum Cleaners' (length=15) 'url_key' => string 'vacuum-cleaners' (length=15) 'is_anchor' => string '1' (length=1) protected '_idFieldName' => string 'entity_id' (length=9) protected '_isDeleted' => boolean false protected '_oldFieldsMap' => array (size=0) empty protected '_syncFieldsMap' => array (size=0) empty </code></pre>
