Hi Phil,

I can't tell from your question whether this alternate name is stored in the data or hardcoded.  Assuming you have a navigation similar to this:

<ul id="topNav">
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
    <li>
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
            <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
        </a>
    </li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>

If you want to hard-code it you can change it to something like this. (Where nameToChange is the name of the link you want to change)

<ul id="topNav">
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
    <li>
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="@nodeName = 'nameToChange'">
                    New Name
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                    <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </a>
    </li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>

If using another field you can either use the above and replace New Name with:

 <xsl:value-of select="data [@alias='newFieldName']"/>

BTW, my example above is a local nav structure.  The Top Nav would be closer to this if you use the built-in Navigation XSLT pattern:

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=$level]/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) != '1']">
    <li>
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
            <xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node/@id = current()/@id">
                <!-- we're under the item - you can do your own styling here -->
                <xsl:attribute name="style">font-weight: bold;</xsl:attribute>
            </xsl:if>
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="@nodeName = 'nameToChange'">
                    New Name
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                    <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </a>
    </li>
</xsl:for-each>

Hi Phil,

I add an optional property to my documents and when it is populated I use that for the menu title. The XSLT then looks like:

        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="string(./data [@alias='MenuTitle'])=''">
            <xsl:value-of select="./@nodeName" />
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias='MenuTitle']" />
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>

Cheers

Paul
