Right now we have nice <inp2:st_CachedMenu .../> tag, that prints every
menu on website without doing a database query.
This works good, however in some projects I came across situations where a
new database field (e.g. extra css class name) was added to a page
(category) and this field needs to be used during menu printing.
This requires to override 2 methods in MenuHelper class.
I'm proposing to create an array (as a property of MenuHelper class), where
mapping is created between Categories database table fields and parameter
names, used to retrieve their values from template.
Here is an example array:
Array (
'parent_path' => 'ParentPath',
'icon' => Array ('Icon', 'resize:100x100'),
);
Then these parameters would be used with GetField method.
