Hello

How can I use a Link as Menu item ? I can't find this option anywhere. I only have the ability to create a new page, but I don't want that. I want a link e.g. google.com as a menu item. How do I do that ?

Thanks

In your template, do something like this:

Code:
<ul id="nav">

      <?php get_navigation(return_page_slug()); ?>

      <li><a href="http://www.google.com" >Google</a></li> 

</ul>

Thanks for the tip Smile

How can I create a link as a sub-menu item ?

Thanks !

This is currently impossible because you canÃ¢Â€Â™t change the menu structure from the way itÃ¢Â€Â™s generated by get_navigation(). This will be supported through a plugin filter (menuitems) in the next version of GetSimple.

I'm surprised that the ability to use an external url as a menu item was overlooked (page management seems to be one of the weak spots in GetSimple). While a template adjustment will work in this case, it is beyond the ability of my clients who are managing the site with the backend UI.

Please add this to your upcoming feature list as well as a drag-able UI for arranging the page order.

I had cobbled together a quick plugin to play with the $menuitems variable. This plugin turns the linst items into an array, then adds entries into the array. Consider it a starting point for anyone who wants to write a "custom menu link" plugin.

Code:
<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Menu Modify

Description: Modifies the Menu

Version: 0.1

Author: Rob Antonishen

Author URI: http://ffaat.pointclark.net

*/

# get correct id for plugin

$thisfile=basename(__FILE__, ".php");

# register plugin

register_plugin(

    $thisfile, 

    'Menu Modify',     

    '0.1',         

    'Rob Antonishen',

    'http://ffaat.pointclark.net', 

    'Modifies the menu',

    'theme',

    'menu_show'  

);

# activate filter

add_filter('menuitems','menu_filter'); 

function menu_show() {}

function menu_filter($menuitems) {

  preg_match_all("/<li(.*)?>(.*?)<\/li>/",$menuitems,$menuarray);

  #insert at start

  #array_splice($menuarray[0],0,0,'<li><a href="http://something.com" title="New Menu Item">New Item</a></li>');

  #insert at end

  array_splice($menuarray[0],count($menuarray[0]),0,'<li><a href="http://www.google.com" title="Google">Google</a></li>');

  $menuitems = implode($menuarray[0]);

  return $menuitems;

}

?>

Hello,

I think what you are trying to do is not possible because you are not change the menu structure from the way itÃ¢Â€Â™s generated by get_navigation().

Good luck
