How to create an horizontal menu in the header with a Kubrick theme A sidebar widget for stickymenu

Sticky Menu, a plugin for WordPress

July 6th, 2007 ericdes

I wrote this little plugin to easily create menus in WordPress.

Normal use of WordPress to create menus:

Because WordPress normally creates menus automatically, for example from a list of categories or pages, you have to exclude manually all items you don’t want in your menu, which can be a lengthy process if you have a lot of categories or pages.

Also, you can’t mix categories and pages in a same menu. You can’t put a link to a subdomain, which could be the case if you have a forum running outside WordPress for example.

What Sticky Menu improves:

Sticky Menu lets you define an unlimited number of menus, in which

you list the exact number of menu items you want to appear. Menu items can link to any pages, posts, etc., in your site or any URLs exterior to your site. You can define a class name for each menu item.

With Sticky Menu being activated, you go to the admin board and look for Sticky Menu in the ‘Manage’ section. There, you create as many menus and menu items as you’d like. In this example, I created a menu named ‘Main’ with 4 menu items: Home, Fun, About me, Contact me.

Then I edited the template files header.php, footer.php, sidebar.php to add these lines:

$menu = new stickymenu;
$menu->display_menu('menu=Main'); # Will display menu 'Main' here

(Please note that the names are case-sensitive, e.g. ‘Main’ is different than ‘main’.)

Hi Ivan,
I just went back to the instruction eric gave for the installation. And it looks like there is slight difference with your code. If we follow the instructions your code should be:
```
$menu = new stickymenu;
$menu->display_menu('menu=pannello');
```
Maybe you could try this?

Uff… I see the same think that u see! Why? In my header.php i putted the right thing! Why if we see source code the name ‘pannello’ it doesent appear…
144. Ivan | May 11th, 2007 at 1:11 pm

1) yes
2) Yes… My menu is composed from the pages “1″, “2″, “3″
3) 1.1 Yes…

Now i retry to do all!

Ok. Ivan, now I can see it! And what I see in the source is an empty menu:
```
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
</ul>
</div>
```
So just to check what you’ve done so far:
1. Did you activate the plugin?
2. Did you create a menu in the Sticky Menu admin with the same name “pannello”?
3. Also, which version did you install? (version 1.1 is still recommended)

Olivia: To link to an external address you just need to insert an absolute URL, including http://, like http://example.com

Ivan: Sorry, but I don’t understand exactly where you are at. I don’t see this code in your page.
