Hello,
i am using matteostagi's method for the menu of my child theme (http://www.matteostagi.it/2009/menu-di-navigazione-configurabile-per-thematic).
Now i am trying to create another little menu above the main one, that i moved upside, but i really don't know how can i do that.
Sorry but this is my first thematic child template and there is so much to learn...
Any idea on how this can be solved? Thanks.
Well, I'd start by finding the place where you want to insert the menu. Maybe something like this:
function secondarymenu() {
echo 'New Menu Goes Here';
}
add_action('thematic_header','secondarymenu', 1);Where I have 1, you could put 4 or 6 etc, depending on where you want the menu (ie add_action('thematic_header','secondarymenu', 8);) Then update your syntax so it is an actual menu and style it.
while matt's idea is brilliant, it is sort of outdated now that you can build custom menus in WP3.0

in terms of 2 menus i had this on a test blog that never got finished :
/* ********************************************** */
/* MENUS */
/* ********************************************** */
// We declare that our theme supports wp_nav_menu()
add_theme_support( 'nav-menus' );
// We Register the a new menu for the theme called "Primary Menu"
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'primary-menu' => __( 'Primary Menu' ),
'secondary-menu' => __( 'Secondary Menu' ),
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
// We remove the standard Thematic menu
function remove_menu() {
remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
}
add_action('init', 'remove_menu');
// We create the new wp_nav_menu called "Primary Menu" in our theme
function child_access() { ?>
<div id="access">
<div class="skip-link"><a href="#content" title="<?php _e('Skip navigation to the content', 'thematic'); ?>"><?php _e('Skip to content', 'thematic'); ?></a></div><!-- .skip-link -->
<?php /* Our navigation menu. If one isn't filled out, wp_nav_menu falls back to wp_page_menu. The menu assiged to the primary position is the one used. If none is assigned, the menu with the lowest ID is used. */ ?>
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => 'primary-menu', // we define this as being the previously registered "Primary Menu"
'menu_class' => 'sf-menu', // we assign the sf-menu class to the menu ul so that superfish workds
'container_class' => 'menu', // we assign the menu class to the menu container div so to keep it compatible with the Thematic menu styling
//'fallback_cb' => '',
));
?>
</div><!-- #access -->
<?php
}
add_action('thematic_aboveheader','child_access');
function secondary_menu() {
if ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary-menu' ) ) { ?>
<div id="nav-container">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary-menu',
'menu_class' => 'sf-menu', // we assign the sf-menu class to the menu ul so that superfish workds
'container_class' => 'menu', // we assign the menu class to the menu container div so to keep it compatible with the Thematic menu styling
) ); ?>
</div>
<?php }
}
add_action('thematic_belowheader','secondary_menu');it worked as far as i can recall. but i doubt it is the most elegant code you will ever see. you mileage may definitely vary.
Hi,
please use:
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
instead of:
add_theme_support( 'nav-menus' );
This is one of the last minute changes in WP 3.0

Thank you very much Helga and Chris !!!!!!!
i'll save your suggestions for some other work..
I am still using WP2.9.2 and i used something like Devin's method
[code]
function secondary_menu() { ?>
<div id="beforebranding">
MY LINKS
</div>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_header','secondary_menu', 2);
[/code]

@helga - i think it also requires css changes for top menu to work with sub navigation
@Cezar - i'm not sure what you mean, but if you assign the same css classes used in the default #access menu then it should look and function exactly the same way.
Hi,
Heads up using add_theme_support in this way is not advised
