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’.)

To Prashant:
Sticky menues has an error at the database.
I run the following command on my mysql db:
alter table wp_stickymenu modify pid varchar(55) not null default ”;
and now it works ok.
Hope that helps,

Hello,
I am using wp2.6. I installed sticky menu 1.41 in that. But after creating menu in admin side it not displayed to my site. Also it not displays the created menu to admin side.So sticky menu 1.41 is compatible with wp2.6.

How exactly do the classes work? I would like to have one of the links I created with the plugin open in a blank page. How would I go about doing this? the other links should open normally in the same page.
Thanks.
Kurt

Can this plugin control a dropdown menu?
Thanks!

Hmm… it seems the code was stripped out of my previous comment. In any case, if you want those classes to come over during edits modify line 166 by echoing a value tag with $classes[$i].

One other thing I noticed in version 1.4 (haven’t downloaded 1.41 so not sure if this is in there):
When you edit a link that has a class specified the class does not display on the edit link page. To reproduce:
1. Create a link and specify a class name
2. Save the link
3. ‘Edit’ the link
4. The class name does not display
This is fine if you’re editing a single link, and know what the class was, but it can be a pain if your batch editing like 10+ links.
Update line 166 in admin.php from:
To:
<input type=”text” name=”class[]” maxlength=”55″ style=”width:140px;” value=”">

I updated to wp 2.5. Now the sticky menu in the admin pages is gone! Although sticky menu still works. Also I get the error “Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ’stickymenupagebar::adminpage’ was given in /var/home/blablabla/www/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311″ on top of every admin-page.
I already deactivated, activated, uploaded new and so on …
Please HELP.
Thanks!
