Question

I have some menu-items published on footer of my site.

-FAQ
-Contact Us

These are actually menu-items and their main menu name is Information

I want to show their main-menu name as well like so:

Information
  -FAQ
  -Contact Us

I have this code

    $menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
    $parent_title = $menu->getItem(2)->title;

The main menu named Information has id 2 but it does not show anything :(

So how do I get that menu name?

Answer 1

Lets try this way:

$menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
$active = $menu->getActive();
$parent = $menu->getItem($active->parent_id);
var_dump(parent);

and tell us what you get : )

if this don't work for you, change line with parent to:

$parent = $menu->getItems('id', $active->parent_id);
