You are assigning an instance of the current page into $c.
$c = Page::getCurrentPage();

And call the description of that instance
$strDesc = $c->getCollectionDescription();


I think you are intelligent enough to understand that. :)

The code should be like this:

$desc = $_c->getCollectionDescription();
         if ($c->getCollectionID() == $_c->getCollectionID()) { 
            echo('<li class="nav-selected nav-path-selected"><a class="nav-selected nav-path-selected" ' . $target . ' href="' . $pageLink . '">' . $ni->getName() ." <br />". $desc .'</a>');
         } elseif ( in_array($_c->getCollectionID(),$selectedPathCIDs) && ($_c->getCollectionID() != HOME_CID) ) {
            echo('<li class="nav-path-selected"><a class="nav-path-selected" href="' . $pageLink . '" ' . $target . '>' . $ni->getName() . " <br />". $desc .'</a>');
         } else {
            echo('<li><a href="' . $pageLink . '" ' . $target . ' >' . $ni->getName() ." <br />". $desc .'</a>');
         }

Which version of C5 you are using? It seems to be an earlier version as per the code.

Then the code should be like above, but it isn't. You can try to copy the above code & replace it with your once.
Note: Please have a backup of that view.php file first.

I modified the code to this:
$desc = $_c->getCollectionDescription();
         if ($c->getCollectionID() == $_c->getCollectionID()) { 
            echo('<li class="nav-selected nav-path-selected '.$isFirstClass.'"><a class="nav-selected nav-path-selected" ' . $target . ' href="' . $pageLink . '"><span class="nnn">' . $ni->getName() . '</span><span class="desc">' .  $desc . '</span></a>');
         } elseif ( in_array($_c->getCollectionID(),$selectedPathCIDs) && ($_c->getCollectionID() != HOME_CID) ) {
            echo('<li class="nav-path-selected '.$isFirstClass.'"><a class="nav-path-selected" href="' . $pageLink . '" ' . $target . '><span class="nnn">' . $ni->getName() . '</span><span class="desc">' .  $desc . '</span></a>');
         } else {
            echo('<li class="'.$isFirstClass.'"><a href="' . $pageLink . '" ' . $target . ' ><span class="nnn">' . $ni->getName() . '</span><span class="desc">' .  $desc . '</span></a>');
         }


but I get this error:

( ! ) Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in C:\wamp\www\ART-RENTING\c5\blocks\autonav\templates\menu_artelea.php on line 44

(All descriptions are showing except Profile's one, that is still not showing).

Thanks for your help

It is in localhost, but I think that the problem is with the description attribute in the profile single page, not about the code... Maybe I have to call it in other way?
