I just realized that I used the following code in my own theme. Adding the div class=menu and especially the ul class taps into Thematic's default menu styling.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id=&quot;aboveheader&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;skip-link&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#content&quot; title=&quot;&lt;?php _e(&#39;Skip navigation to the content&#39;, &#39;thematic&#39;); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php _e(&#39;Skip to content&#39;, &#39;thematic&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;menu menusplus&quot;&gt; &lt;ul class=&quot;sf-menu sf-js-enabled&quot;&gt; &lt;?php menusplus(1); ?&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-menu-in-thematic-childtheme#post-11395 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 22:13:28 +0000 Furfur 11395@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>never min I managed to get this sorted, thanks for the plugin reference and the help helgatheviking</p> <p>Jay </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-menu-in-thematic-childtheme#post-11391 Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:03:38 +0000 Furfur 11391@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>ok I've added the plugin and the code into the functions.php and it is kind of working, the only problem is the links are stacked instead of inline, any ideas? </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-menu-in-thematic-childtheme#post-11379 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 22:05:48 +0000 helgatheviking 11379@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I presume the link to your Gallery is supposed to be in the #menu2 id? The fact that it is current NOT, explains why the background is appearing below instead of behind... they are being outputted as 2 separate things so they are getting stacked on top of each other. </p> <p>Rather than try to figure out what isn't working, I will just point you to what I think is the easiest way to create a custom menu:</p> <p><a href="http://www.keighl.com/plugins/menus-plus/" rel="nofollow">http://www.keighl.com/plugins/menus-plus/</a></p> <p>I have used this and it is great. Then you should be able to hook it into your theme all wrapped in a div (since if you are injecting it to the thematic_aboveheader you are really only inside the #wrapper div) w/ the following</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php function childtheme_menu() { ?&gt; &lt;div id=&quot;aboveheader&quot;&gt; &lt;?php menusplus(#); ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; } add_action( &#39;thematic_aboveheader&#39;, &#39;childtheme_menu&#39;); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>where the # is the number for the menu you are trying to use. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/custom-menu-in-thematic-childtheme#post-11377 Sun, 11 Apr 2010 21:46:26 +0000 Furfur 11377@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I've been trying to add a custom menu in the thematic above header to display<br /> a custom menu, but I get the problem that the background image for the menu is appearing below the menu istead of behind it</p> <p>the link to my site is <a href="http://furfur.org">Furfur.org</a><br /> any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>here's the function and css<br /> <pre><code>function childtheme_menu() { echo &#39; &lt;ul id=\&#39;menu2\&#39;&gt; &#39;.wp_list_bookmarks(&#39;title_li=&#38;categorize=0&#38;category=2&#39;) .&#39; &#39;; } add_action( &#39;thematic_aboveheader&#39;, &#39;childtheme_menu&#39; );</code></pre> <pre><code>#menu2 { background: url(img/catbgnew2.png)repeat; height:10px; }</code></pre> <p>and heres what firebug is outputting<br /> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://gallery.furfur.org&quot;&gt;Gallery&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;ul id=&quot;menu2&quot;&gt;</code></pre>
