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’.)
5/21/2008: Sticky Menu 1.41 - Fixed type bug related to ‘class’ field.

Actually yes! You are missing something.
There is the possibility to add new menu items to an existing menu.
When you are in the Sticky Menu admin page you have right under the Sticky Menu title: Add new menu item(s).
Just enter the number of menu items you want to add. Click go.
Then on the next screen you enter all the information for your new menu item. If you have several menus this is where you can choose the menu in which you want to add the new menu items.

it’d be nice if you could add more items to already existent menus.
i created a menu with 5 items, but then i needed to add a 6th one, and i had to re create the whole menu.
or am i missing something?
