More thematic child theme functions goodness 🙂
\nHaving read the comments on this page: http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-menu-tricks/ I couldn’t find a definitive copy and paste guide – looks like the HTML and PHP tags were being stripped out. So, leaning heavily on Tony L‘s work (thanks Tony!), here is a copy-paste-edit example. Simply add this to your Thematic child theme’s functions.php file and you should find that you can then use the ‘Menus’ tab under WP’s Appearance menu in the CMS.
\n
\n// Add support for WP3 custom menus
\nadd_theme_support( 'nav-menus' );
// Remove Thematic default menu
\nfunction remove_thematic_menu() {
\nremove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
\n}
\nadd_action('init','remove_thematic_menu');
// Register the custom menu with the theme
\nfunction register_custom_menu() {
\nregister_nav_menu( 'primary-menu', __( 'Primary Menu' ) );
\n}
\nadd_action( 'init', 'register_custom_menu' );
// Output the new menu to the thematic header
\nfunction childtheme_access(){
\nwp_nav_menu( array('primary-menu', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu' ) );
\n}
\nadd_action('thematic_header', 'childtheme_access', 4);
Any mistakes, omissions or bugs are my own and I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments. Thanks for reading 🙂
\nGeorge Irwin kindly sent me an improvement on the ‘Output the new theme to the thematic header’ function, as follows:
\n
\n// Output the new 3.0 menu to the thematic header
\nfunction childtheme_access(){?>
\n<div id=\"access\">
\n<div class=\"skip-link\"><a href=\"#content\" title=\"<?php _e('Skip navigation to the content', 'thematic'); ?>\"><?php _e('Skip to content', 'thematic'); ?></a></div>
\n<?php wp_nav_menu( array('primary-menu', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu' ) ); ?>
\n</div><!-- #access -->
\n<?php
\n}
\nadd_action('thematic_header','childtheme_access',4);
\n
As George rightly points out, this keeps the new custom menu in line with the original as defined by Ian Stewart in the Thematic header-extensions.php file so that you don’t need to change your CSS. Much better George, thanks 🙂
\nThanks to skarab and Manxstef, there’s a further improvement to this code 🙂
\n
\n// Output the new 3.0 menu to the thematic header
\nfunction childtheme_access(){?>
\n<div id=\"access\">
\n<div class=\"skip-link\"><a href=\"#content\" title=\"<?php _e('Skip navigation to the content', 'thematic'); ?>\"><?php _e('Skip to content', 'thematic'); ?></a></div>
\n<?php wp_nav_menu( array('primary-menu', 'container_class' => 'menu', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu') ); ?>
\n</div><!-- #access -->
\n<?php
\n}
\nadd_action('thematic_header','childtheme_access',9);
\n
These tweaks ensure that the custom menu is created on the page in exactly the same place and with the same DOM as the default Thematic menus. Thanks both!
