WordPress MU

As discussed and initially tested in this thread, this is the Menu Management Plugin.

With successful alpha testing complete, this plugin is now labeled as version 1.0 and now available for download. (It's out of testing, so I'm splitting the OT)

Menu Management Plugin 1.0

I just wanted to thank Lunabyte for the work put into this plugin. Its fully functional, easy to use and extremely handy. No self respecting MU admin should be without it :)

Thanks Lunabyte.

You're welcome. ;)

Hey, lunabyte! I've got a quick question, if you're around: I'm using Menu Management with the latest WPMU release, and PHP 5.2.2. I just noticed that I can't add any additional Menu widgets to the sidebar -- one is all I get. Other widgets seem to multiply just fine. Can you suggest something I should look at by way of debugging, perhaps?

Thanks!

It's probably something in the widget specific code.
I've noticed it myself, being on 5.2.3, and it's on my list to get fixed up.

The downside is that most of my time over the next month or two is paid for, which is leaving me very little personal time for anything else at all.

Ah, ok. I'll just wait it out then. :) Thanks!

How about listing it on wpmudev.org?

Thanks,
M.

How about I'll do whatever I'd like with it?

Thanks.

I have a problem with the formatting of the main menu. For some reason the links are being displayed as if the current page has been selected (ie they should be blue text w/ grey background, but they are showing up as grey texkt w/ a white background) this is true for all except the "Home" link.

It might be of interest to someone that I removed a few lines of code from my template's "header.php" file and replace them with the code from the menu management plugin. Let me explain ..

I took out this:

<div id="nav">
<ul class="nav">
<li class="first"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div>

And replaced it with this:

<div id="nav">
<ul class="nav">
<li class="first"><a href="<?php wg_get_menu('Top Menu', 0, 1); ?><a></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

I hope someone can help me with this ...

That's pretty much the case. It's meant as a replacement, if you'd like, or as a widget, etc.

However, the menu is its own call, and not part of an anchor tag.

Initially, try this:

<div id="nav">
<ul class="nav">
<?php wg_get_menu('Top Menu', 0, 1); ?>
</ul>
</div>

I can't remember off the top of my head if it includes the actual open/close of the list or not. I can look back at it in a bit, but you can quickly view your source to tweak it, and remove the opening/closing unordered list tag if need be.

Hmm, now it getting weird.

Let's say I have 4 pages and only 3 menus at the top (as intended at this point). The pages are:

1) Welcome to ...
2) About Us
3) History <- Child of "About Us"
4) Our Gear <- Child of "About Us"

And the links I have at the top of the page are:

Home - About Us - History

I have left the navigation widget on the right side of the page so I can have direct access to all four pages while messing around with the top menu. If I click on the "Home" link, all of the links show up as if you were looking at the current page (ie grey type w/ white bg). If you clink on the next link (About Us), the "Home" link now shows up correctly (ie blue type w/ grey bg). Same thing happens when you click on the "History" link (both "Home" and "About Us" are displayed correctly.

Now, if you actually click on the right navigation panel for the "Our Gear" page, all of the top menu links are displayed correctly. Weird, eh?

My thought is that there is something in the code that either auto increments or counts, but it's not working correctly. Excuse my inability to dive into the code, but I'm working on this in tandem with my regular duties at work (and I sent the laptop out yesterday for repair).

@lunabyte - If you need access to the site, let me know and I can give you the address as well as the .htaccess password to look at it. (I have it locked from public view and search engines as it is being developed to possibly replace an existing (albeit, archaic) website.

Thanks again for your prompt response!!

Sure, I'll take a look when I can. Might be a day or two, my schedule is pretty packed. Feel free to contact me through my site, and I'll take a look at what its doing/not doing.

Alrighty, I can do that. I'll drop you my info on your contact form.

I installed and activated the Menu Management Plugin in the plugins folder (not mu-plugins) on my mu.wordpress site at http://mybikeblog.net, but when I try to add a menu item, that screen is blank. I can only select "child link of" and that's it. Did I miss something obvious here? (Also, I attempted to post this comment on the thunder lizard site, but it will not accept the comment, keeps insisting I've typed the confirmation text wrong.)

Depending on your version, it might be broke.

I'm not actively supporting the plugin at the moment, as I just don't have the time.

I haven't received any reports of that happening though. You do have a group, right?

Does this plug in help for a default blogroll?

lol...

Any Update to be compatible with the new version

Any news or another plugin that does the same ?
