Magento – Magento 1.7 – Override Navigation.php

ce-1.7.0.2navigation

I've what seems like it should be a fairly easy fix… in Magento 1.7 CE, I just want to add title attributes to my primary navigation links. I attempted to duplication Navigation.php, as described here: http://seechrisblog.com/2010/05/28/how-to-add-title-attributes-to-magentos-main-nav/, however this has had no effect.

Can anyone tell me how I can override Navigation.php in this version of Magento?

-thanks!

I've been saying this a lot lately, but nobody pays attention :).
Starting with CE 1.7 (and EE 1.12) the top menu is not rendered anymore by Navigation.php. That is only used for rendering catalog.leftnav (Browse By Category).
The top menu is an instance of Mage_Page_Block_Html_Topmenu. The method responsable for generating the HTML for the menu is _getHtml in the class I mentioned above. You can override that and change this code (somewhere around line 114 in the original class file):

$html .= '<a href="' . $child->getUrl() . '" ' . $outermostClassCode . '><span>'
          . $this->escapeHtml($child->getName()) . '</span></a>';

$html .= '<a href="' . $child->getUrl() . '" ' . $outermostClassCode . ' title="'.$this->escapeHtml($child->getName()) .'"><span>'
         . $this->escapeHtml($child->getName()) . '</span></a>';

The problem is with your grid columns. They are 4 and should be 3.
Open the file app/design/frontend/{interface}/{theme}/layout/catalogsearch.xml, look for the tag catalogsearch_result_index.
Inside it there should be this line:

<action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_right</layout><count>4</count></action>

Change 4 into 3, clear the cache and try again.

The code in the xml appears to be wrong, blocks and models should be separate and should be included as part of the global node. If you update your config as below:

#File: app/code/local/Namespace/Module/etc/config.xml
<global>
    <models>
        <cataloginventory>
            <rewrite>
                <stock_item>Namespace_Module_Model_Stock_Item</stock_item>
            </rewrite>
        </cataloginventory>
    </models>
</global>

You should also extend the rewritten class and not the abstract so your class should start

class Namespace_Module_Model_Stock_Item extends Mage_CatalogInventory_Model_Stock_Item
