django cms menu: display page title alongside the page's menu title

I want to display a plain django-cms menu. I override the default menu/menu.html template, as I want to display the page's title, alongside the page's menu title. This is for a content navigation, where the additional info of the title is useful.

The default is (in the <a></a>):

{{ child.get_menu_title }}.

What I want is

{{ child.get_menu_title }}<span>{{ child.the_page_title }}</span>

But, somehow, I cant display the title alongside the menu_title. If the field menu_title is set, it overrides the title attribute of the NavigationNode, and it is returned when calling get_menu_title (obviously). Also, the title is not in the attr (NavigationNode attr).

Solution

  • I just ended using 

    {% load cms_tags %} {% page_attribute 'title' child.id %}

    This might not be ideal concerning performance, but works very well. Open but for better solutions!
