Making a big jump from WP Menu Creator 1.7 to version 2.0 as we have sat on updates for many weeks eagerly awaiting a look at WordPress 2.9 before we committed to anything. I’m happy to say that WP Menu Creator will work with version 2.9 of WordPress.

What new features are in the new Menu Creator?

  • You can add your page or post to a menu while in the WYSWYG editor. Simply select the menu, title it, and publish.
  • A new page / post look-up feature will provide you with an easy way to get the page or post ID while in the Menu Creator panel. No more need to go searching.
  • Better image support for menus that will provide you with quick edit features.
  • The ability to reset the menu ID and the ability to edit the menu name. Requested dozens of times so its going to be a feature.
  • Saving the best for the last, the Menu Creator will have a CSS feature where you can save and edit the CSS for each individual menu.

I’ll post more when it is available.

    Can’t wait to be able to use this! :)

  • Geoff from San Diego Homes says:

    It sounds like the new Menu Creator will really streamline the process of editing the navigation bars. The version 1.7 has been great for helping me visualize the site structure and easily transfer that vision into the navigation structure. The ability to post to the nav bar directly from the WYSIWYG editor will definitely save time by eliminating an extra step from the process.

    • WP Menu Creator was in part a learning process in how best to provide CMS like menu management features to WordPress users. With this new version, there will be little excuse to consider alternative options.

    Hi,
    Great plugin, however, I have a slight problem (detailed here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/368698 – apologies for multiple posts – i though i’d fixed it, but i hadnt).

    when i attempt to access a post or category that doesnt exist, the plugin breaks the site (shows only a portion of raw text from footer.php, missing out all site header and content!).

    i have 4 calls to displayMenu in all – 2 in header.php, 1 in sidebar.php and 1 in footer.php. The second call in header.php seems to be the one that breaks it.

    can you shed any light on this?

    thanks for any help.

  • Rob Morris says:

    I have tried to make this work but without details for dummies. It’s almost impossible to make this work. I entered items into my menu. Put the php into my header and got nothing. It’s obvious I didn’t do it right, but there just aren’t enough details or examples. It’s a lot of guess work. Shouldn’t a plug in make things easier?

    I guess everyone assumes that we know exactly what your talking about.

  • Nalin says:

    Hi,
    Great Plugin. I’m using your plugin in my latest project but i have little problem. I want to create drop down menu Eg: http://encloseonline.com/. i have two levels in this menu. That means when i mouse over the parent link the child links set should appear. I used this code . but it shows whole parent and child list at once.. any way to figure this out?

    Please help
    Thanks,
    nalin

  • Alyssa says:

    looks like a great script.. the menus on the left of your site work really well. Much better than many I have seen. thanks for bringing the script to my attention!

  • Lisa Cowan says:

    I’ve installed the plugin, but cannot find the manage link. I’ve probably been sitting at the computer to long to be effective. Please let me know what I am missing.

    Thanks,

  • Aaron says:

    Hi,

    Firstly, really nice plugin. Thanks for this. Domt know why WP havent included something like it in core yet. Couple of suggestions:

    1)I tend to use WP as a CMS rather than simple blog. Consequentially, site taxonomies can get quite complex. In particular, I needed to make your menu-creator plugin (V1.1.6) sensitive, not only to ‘current page’ but also to sub-pages, categories, taxonomies, etc, when setting the ‘current_page_item’ class on the ‘active’ menu item(s).

    I came up with a mod/hack to do this. Thought you might be interested in making it available in your core app. The approach would be quite simple:

    file: menu-creator.lib.php
    function: displayMenuFromItems
    change line from:

    if (is_page($item["value"])) {

    change line to (something like):

    if (is_page($item["value"]) || (function_exists(wpmc_is_in_context) && wpmc_is_in_context($item))) {

    …. thus providing a custom application exit (filter) on precisely how and when the currently active menu item is set.

    the user/site developer then has a choice of providing/defining an optional user function, ‘wpmc_is_in_context’ (returning true or false) to determine this, eg. defined within functions.php within theme dir.

    in addition to the above i also added a new field (db, admin and object) called ‘active_context’ (string). this gets passed in item var above and is thus able to further refine pattern matching requirements of the user defined ‘wpmc_is_in_context’ function.

    drop me a line if you’d like further details.

    2) customer had requirement to mix colours (html effects) within menu titles. whilst v1.1.6 just about supports this, it does have problems editing html markup within menu titles, once set up. (to do with wp options stripping, htmlentities, etc). would be nice if it gracefully allowed maintenence of html markup withing menu titles.

    many thanks again, hope these are of some interest/use.

    I’m trying to use this on this site

    http://www.VotesandVoices.com/wordpress

    The top row is the original menu…If you hover on history-you see the sub menus.

    the second row the history sub-cats are showing as a third row.

    I think it’s the js for the hover…but I don’t know how to fix it
