[Neos] Dimensionmenu: get dimension value in viewHelper

[Dmitri Pisarev]

Hello (Robotic-Brain?),
I don't know the answer to your question directly, but you can always put
<f:debug>{item}</f:debug> within the loop and see everything which is in
{item}.
Another (my favourite) way is to look at the source code of
DimensionsMenuImplementations:
$item = array(
'node' => $nodeInOtherDimension,
'state' => $this->calculateItemState($nodeInOtherDimension),
'label' => $presetConfiguration['label'],
'presetName' => $presetName,
'preset' => $presetConfiguration
);
So maybe {item.presetName} would work?

Regards,
Dmitri
