Confusion with Autonav Attribute(s)

Permalink
Ok, so I'm trying to pull a custom attribute to display within the autonav block, but I'm baffled as to why is going on.

I've played with it for about a good hour or so but still can't figure out what is going on.

I've created two (2) custom attr called 'mega_thumbnail' and 'mega_text' and I'm pulling it into the autonav via;

// MY CUSTOM ATTRUBITE
$targetPage = $ni->cObj;
$megaText = $targetPage->getAttribute('mega_text');
$ih = Loader::helper('image');
$img = $ni->cObj->getAttribute('mega_thumbnail');
if ($img) {
   $thumb = $ih->getThumbnail($img, 500, 500, false);
   $megaThumb = $thumb->src;
}


...and displaying them like this for... (for texting purposes)

<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
$navItems = $controller->getNavItems();
$c = Page::getCurrentPage();
foreach ($navItems as $ni) {
   $classes = array();
   if ($ni->isCurrent) {
      $classes[] = 'nav-selected';
   }
   if ($ni->inPath) {
      $classes[] = 'nav-path-selected';
   }
   if (!empty($ni->attrClass)) {
      $classes[] = $ni->attrClass;
   }
   $classes[] = 'nav-item-' . $ni->cID;

it works perfectly :) happy days!

But now if I want to push the boundaries and display the same thing under '$ni->hasSubmenu', it doesn't work. No attributes seems to display properly.

<?php defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
$navItems = $controller->getNavItems();
$c = Page::getCurrentPage();
foreach ($navItems as $ni) {
   $classes = array();
   if ($ni->isCurrent) {
      $classes[] = 'nav-selected';
   }
   if ($ni->inPath) {
      $classes[] = 'nav-path-selected';
   }
   if (!empty($ni->attrClass)) {
      $classes[] = $ni->attrClass;
   }
   $classes[] = 'nav-item-' . $ni->cID;

Don't understand why, can anyone shine some light on this and stop my head hurting, please?

UPDATE: Or an attribute does display, but not in the correct location. For example, it would be displaying the attribute results within the NEXT <ul> and not it's proper <ul>. It would be like a LOOP which has a delay of displaying attribute results until the 2nd LOOP, apart from in the 2nd LOOP it would display the attribute results from the 1st LOOP.... and so on :(
