[](#select-a-catalogcategory-attribute-for-use)

Add the following snippit to your modules `config.xml` inside the `default` node. Replace `my_new_catalog_attr` with the attribute code you wish to be displayed in your navigation.

```

```

### Display a selected attribute

[](#display-a-selected-attribute)

Copy the following templates to your design package / theme.

- `app/design/frontend/base/default/template/bennoislost/easy-navigation/single-level.phtml`
- `app/design/frontend/base/default/template/bennoislost/easy-navigation/level-with-children.phtml`

You can now use the following snippet to return the `catalog/category` attribute value in your template.

```
$this->getMenu()->getCategoryData()->getData('my_new_catalog_attr');

Replace `my_new_catalog_attr` with your attribute code.

With blocks in Magento these can be extended and replaced :)
