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.

Just installed the plug-in and received an error. How can i fix it?
WordPress database error: [Table ‘homesell_home.wp_stickymenu’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT DISTINCT menu FROM `wp_stickymenu`

Great job at this solid plugin. Always nice to find something that matches your need.
Running: WP 2.2.1 + stickymenu 1.4
I have 1 note for ppl who may run into the error:
Call to undefined function get_currentuserinfo()
The problem comes with the plugin gengo and maybe others. The writer of this plugin mentioned that the call for load_plugin_textdomain is to soon and must be moved to the function which is used for the init hook.
So move the function load_plugin_textdomain(’stickymenu’, ‘wp-content/plugins/stickymenu’); at line 38 to the function function stickymenu_install() . Thats it.
Ps. if you want the post I got this from go to: http://wp-multilingual.net/2007/03/17/gengo-09/en/
Thx again for the awsome plugin!!!

Just like mumin, 1.4 didn’t solve my problem.
I created the table manually (with the prefix I use) and now everything works fine.
Thanks you for this nive plugin!

Ver 1.4 still not solves my problem :
WordPress database error: [Table ‘amira.wp_stickymenu’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT DISTINCT menu FROM `wp_stickymenu`

Please try version 1.4 if it solves your problem.

Hi, I got the same problem here but having problem when try running your sql code.
Error
SQL query:
CREATE TABLE `wp_stickymenu` (
`id` int( 11 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`name` VARCHAR( 55 ) NOT NULL ,

`menu` VARCHAR( 55 ) NOT NULL ,
`weight` int( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT‘0′,

Hi Byron,
Yes, this is indeed the problem. You need to manually create the table. Lisa (comment #97) previously provided some explanation to do this:
You need to go to your control panel (accessed through your web host), look for a tab called “phpMyAdmin” - mine was under the “Databases” category.
Click “phpMyAdmin” link
Click “databases” link
Click SQL tab
Should open up a box “Run SQL query/queries on server localhost: Documentation”
Paste the code below into the box:
Click “go” and you should be good to go from here - at least I was, I’m using BlueHost so can’t say if it’s exactly the same for other hosts.
(Edited on 7/7/07 to adjust to the new version of Sticky Menu)

Seems like I do not have the tables that I need, could you show me how to possibly add them? What else could I try?
