Append Datafeedr Store Categories to Default WordPress Primary Menu - Page 2

Hi

Can you paste the code from your template that controls the menu as a reply?

I have the following code in functions.php in my child theme folder:
<?php
// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add additional links and other output
function new_nav_menu_items($items) {
$cats = str_replace(array("<div>","</div>"), array("",""), datafeedr_tag('Category List?c=%ci'));
$items = $items . $cats;
return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_list_pages', 'new_nav_menu_items' );
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_primary_items', 'new_nav_menu_items' );
?>

I mean the code where the wp_list_pages() code appears (usually in the header.php file).

onlineshopper · #24 April 26th, 2011, 06:05 PM

I can't find wp_list_pages in the header.php file:
<?php
/**
* The Header for our theme.
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">
*
* @package WordPress

* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/

<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
<title><?php
/*

*/
global $page, $paged;

wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );

// Add the blog name.
bloginfo( 'name' );

// Add the blog description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
echo " | $site_description";

// Add a page number if necessary:
if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 )
echo ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'twentyten' ), max( $paged, $page ) );

Hi

It appears that you are using the built in Menus page. If that's the case, you can easily configure it like I've done to mine:

But then the menu drop down does not work. It only works if I have it as blank.

It looks like WP changed some of their menu code. I have updated the code in the first post of this thread. Now it also works for me.

onlineshopper · #28 April 26th, 2011, 07:13 PM

I am so sorry Eric. I feel so helpless. I added the code to the functions.php. Now I have two sets of categories in my menu. One with a drop down and one without. I think I should take some of the code out, but don't know which one.

Eric · #29 April 26th, 2011, 07:16 PM

Try this code in your functions.php file instead

PHP Code:


			
// Add store categories to nav menu
function dfr_menu_items($items) {
    $cats = str_replace(array("<div>","</div>"), array("",""), datafeedr_tag('Category List?c=%ci'));
    $items = $items . $cats;
    return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'dfr_menu_items' );

onlineshopper · #30 April 26th, 2011, 07:21 PM

Still have two sets. Is it easier to send you the backend info?

Sure.

The reason you had 2 sets is because you added them once in your functions.php file and once on your Menu's page. I deleted all of the pages you added via your Menus page and now all looks fine.

If you want to add an additional NON-datafeedr link to your nav bar, you can do so from the menus page.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi
I followed the instructions above and all my datafeedr categories were added to my home page menu. Is there a way to make one menu option such as store and then make it so all the categories fall under this or drop down? It may be mentioned but just do not understand exactly how that can be done.

I haven't tested it but you could try replacing this:

HTML Code:

[category.list id='dfparent' before='' after='']
<li>
  <a href="[category.link]" title="[category.name]">[category.name]</a>
  [category.list id='dfchild' before='<ul>' after='</ul>']
    <li>
      <a href="[category.link]" title="[category.name]">[category.name]</a>
      [category.repeat id='dfchild']
    </li>
  [/category.list]
</li>
[/category.list]

with this:

HTML Code:

<li>
  	<a href="/store">Store</a>
	[category.list id='dfparent' before='<ul>' after='</ul>']
	<li>
	  <a href="[category.link]" title="[category.name]">[category.name]</a>
	  [category.list id='dfchild' before='<ul>' after='</ul>']
		<li>
		  <a href="[category.link]" title="[category.name]">[category.name]</a>
		  [category.repeat id='dfchild']
		</li>
	  [/category.list]
	</li>
	[/category.list]
</li>

Worked perfectly thanks

sylviathewitch · #37 August 20th, 2011, 01:42 AM

I have added the drop down menu (named "shopping kategorien") to my site
http://omasgeheimnisse.com/shop16/
Everything works great, except the top navigation link to "Shopping Kategorien".
It calls "http://omasgeheimnisse.com/store", which does not exist.
How can I either remove this link or call the correct link, which would be http://omasgeheimnisse.com/shop16/weinshop

Futhermore I would like to know, if there is a way to rearrange the order on where the "shopping kategorien" appear in the navigation menu. I would like to have them right after "home" instead of the very left.

Thanks a lot!!!

Duh

... solved that myself!!!

Now I only have the problem with rearranging the order.
And another question just came up:
I use wp_list_pages, now when I use

<?php
wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=17'.$post->ID.'&show_date=modified
&date_format=$date_format'); ?>

I do not only get the children of page 17, but also all categories from datafeedr

Eric · #39 August 20th, 2011, 07:51 AM

Hi

I'm not sure if you can change the order in which the links appear. You could try changing this:

PHP Code:


			
    $items = $items . $cats;

to this:

PHP Code:


			
    $items = $cats . $items;

Regarding the children of 17 and Datafeedr, that's how it will work. Datafeedr cats get appended after wp_list_pages() is finished getting built.

The problem I have is, that I have a page:
http://omasgeheimnisse.com/shop16/rotweine-2/
that only is supposed to call
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=17'.$post->ID.'&date_format=$date_format'); ?>
Which means only pages, that are child of page 17.
The only available page is
http://omasgeheimnisse.com/shop16/ne...n-auktionen-2/
which is shown on top of the results as "Rotweine", but below I also get all datafeedr categories, which are not child of page 17.

The datafeedr categories show on each and every page/post that is calling wp_list_pages, regardless of the child_of.

Is there a way to fix this, or can I simply not append Datafeedr to primary menu when I have pages/posts that call wp_list_pages?

Thanks!
