LJ Custom Menu Links

@Jon Smith Thanks for the reply. As I suspected… I wish the next version of WP gets more flexible navigation/menu options. I do like what your plugin does and yes, it’s a pretty cool trick to quickly get the “Logged in” menu items. Thanks again!

This plug-in is perfect for what I wanted to do. Thanks so much for the hard work you put into this and making it available.

I do have one suggestion that I hope you’ll consider. When I have multiple child pages below a parent link, the size of the box that the link is contained in varies. If these could all match the longest child page link, like WordPress does your plug-in menu items would blend in totally with the WordPress ones.

You can see what I mean with the menu on my blog. WordPress pages are linked below “Testimonials” and your plug-in links are below “Gallery”.

If you can make time, it would be great if you could look at this.

Thanks again for a great plug-in!

Hi,

Is it posible to disply only the child links of a parent.

Thank for the quick reply Jon,

what i ment was if i create a custom menu like this

parent
>> child 1
>> >> grandchild 1a
>> >> grandchild 1b
>> >> grandchild 1c
>> child 2
>> >> grandchild 2a
>> >> grandchild 2b

is it posible for me to display the grandchild links on the child page with a simpe tag. So on the page “child 1” i can list the grandchild links

grandchild 1a
grandchild 1b
grandchild 1c

cheers
Craig

Hi,

Basicly im looking for somthing like this code, that will work for the custom menu

$my_page_id = get_the_ID();
wp_list_pages(‘child_of=’.$my_page_id);

in wordpress this will list the child pages of the current page.

What im look to to is list the child (Custom menu links) on the parent page.

I know i could do it manually like this

wp_list_pages(‘include=5,6,20,30,35,40’);

but i would have to update the code every time.

cheers
Craig

I have just tested the wp_list_pages include/exclude commands and it adds all the “Custom menu links” regardless ?

Great idea!
But… is it possible to add the class “current_page_item” to a real current page? Currently the class “current_page_item” is assigned to “home” item…

Jon,
Let’s suppose we have following (standard) pages:
1. About (alias “about”)
2. Contacts (alias “contacts”)
Standard wordpress function wp_list_pages() will generate something like this:

<li class="page_item page-item-1"><a href="http://site.com/about" title="About">About</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://site.com/contacts" title="Contacts">Contacts</a></li>

If we are on page “About”, wordpress will add current_page_item to the class of the item:
<li class=”page_item page-item-1 current_page_item“><a href=”http://site.com/about” title=”About”>About</a></li>
Next I turn on your plugin and add new page “Portfolio”. For the page I set LJ Custom Menu Links URL = http://site.com/portfolio. Let’s say the URL is the permalink of a category. Now go to the URL.
Your plugin will generate:

<li class="page_item page-item-1"><a href="http://site.com/about" title="About">About</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://site.com/contacts" title="Contacts">Contacts</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://site.com/portfolio" title="Portfolio">Portfolio</a></li>

So the current page is “http://site.com/portfolio”, but the menu item has no class “current_page_item”.

Is it possible generate such item?
<li class=”page_item page-item-2 current_page_item“><a href=”http://site.com/portfolio” title=”Portfolio”>Portfolio</a></li>

Love the plugin! I am having a slight problem, more of a little bug actually. I am using iBlogPro 3 theme (the people that created that theme are how I heard about your plugin) and when I add your plugin, it adds it to the menubar but it repeats it below my actual menu bar. Is there a way to correct this so it only shows in the menubar at the top?

I’m working on a WordPress site where I’m embedding an SMF forum in the WordPress site. I’ve got the SMF Forum embedded and am trying to use your plugin to put a navlink and submenu items at the top of the wordpress page. I’d like to be able to add the option to target the iframe, in addition to _self and _blank. So, in your .php file I added the following code:

<option class="level-1" value="myframe" >Target Iframe named myframe

However, when I go to the actual page, the link opens in the same window but NOT in the iframe, and when I look at the source code, it says:

Thanks!

AWESOME! I was trying to make placeholder top nav (like people -> tony, carol, lyndon) while people was not clickable. This worked perfectly.

I tried to do something similar with a different plugin but it just didn’t work right.!

Awesome! This will allow integrating a couple of blogs into one site and/or into a Joomla site. Thank you!

Seems I’m no longer in need of assistance. The issue is resolved somehow, I think it was the use of the qtranslate shortcodes rather than the language tags, but the LJ Custom Menu Links plug-in did the job! Thanks!
