Making Atahualpa WP 3.0-ready for new menu function

paulae · #1 May 19, 2010, 06:53 AM

I attended the NYC Wordpress Meetup last night, where 3.0 was outlined for us. I had already been testing 3.0beta2, so I knew about the new menu function. Essentially, it lets you combine pages, posts and outside URLs in one menu. If your theme is compliant, you can put the menu in the horizontal menu bar below the header. If the theme doesn't support this, you can use the menu as a sidebar widget.

I hope Flynn will make Atahualpa 3.4.9 support this wonderful feature. I'm sure he can figure it out from the Twenty-Ten theme, which is the new Wordpress default theme (no more Kubrick). This is some code from the new functions.php file. I'm not a PHP coder so this may not be all that's needed:

Code:

if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyten_page_menu_args' ) ) :
/**
 * Get our wp_nav_menu() fallback, wp_page_menu(), to show a home link
 */
function twentyten_page_menu_args($args) {
    $args = array(
        'sort_column' => 'menu_order, post_title',
        'menu_class'  => 'menu',
        'echo'        => true,        
        'show_home' => true        
    );
    return $args;
}
add_filter('wp_page_menu_args', 'twentyten_page_menu_args');
endif;
