ZGF J1.6 Layout Question

Joomla Version: 1.6.3
ZGF/ZenDefault J1.6

I currently have my layout set up to have the logo on the left side above the navigation. I am trying to display the current menu item title (home/about/contact etc.) to display next to the logo. Is this possible? I can handle the positioning with CSS, I just want to know how/where to insert the code to display the menu item title between the logo and the navigation.

Here is an example of what I am going for:

Hi Richard,

Sounds like you may need to create an override to do this.

This article should help give you an overview:
docs.joomlabamboo.com/item/558-exploring-template-overrides

And this article gives an explanation of how to create a layout override:
docs.joomlabamboo.com/item/731-adding-a-module-position-to-a-zen-grid-framework-template

So basically I would create a layout override for main.php and insert the code to display the current page under the logo markup.

Hope that helps.

I created a module position an placed this into a module that can handle PHP:
<?php
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$menutitle = $doc->getTitle();
echo '<span class="navTitle">'.$menutitle.'</span>';
?>
Seems to do what I needed. Will do more testing later to make sure it will render "Blog" instead of rendering the titles of K2 items.
