    So Automattic just launched WordPress 3.0.

    I'm new to Thematic (less than a month into my theme update) and I'm using a slight mod of the Sophia child theme.

    There's been much talk about the big changes in WordPress 3.0 and how those will break many older themes. If we update to 3.0, will anything in Thematic 0.9.6.2 break? When can we expect to see an update to Thematic that accounts for changes in WP 3?

    Thank you to all the Thematic developers who give their time to the theme. I spent more than a year looking at suitable themes before finally settling on Thematic. I hope the partnership I have with Thematic lasts as long as it did with my mod of Regulus.

    Hi edelen,

    Thematic 0.9.6.2 is compatible with WP 3.0 as a single-site installation. Thematic 0.9.6.3 is being reviewed with the final release of WP 3.0 and will be released soon providing support for the new nav menu function, multi-site support and many new features ;)

    Isn't trunk fairly stable? I've been running it for a while, and it works well enough for me :)

    I've managed to incorporate the new functionality without problem. All it took was going into the library folder -> extensions folder -> header-extensions.php file, and looking in there to find where the menu was being specified.

    Go to line 402, and you should encounter this in the thematic_access() function:

    <?php wp_page_menu('sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

    Replace that with this:

    <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu', 'container_class' => 'menu', 'fallback_cb' => 'wp_page_menu("sort_column=menu_order")' )); ?>

    On an unmodified Thematic theme, the new menu appeared positioned and styled as a normal page menu would appear. So, any heavy modifications have been done to the CSS theme, not so sure whether the result would be the same. Try at your own risk, so BACKUP!

    The DIY method, basically. Only use if you actually have a navigation menu going. Further testing yields unusual results when putting this code in and trying to still use a normal page menu.

    Update:

    You'll need to add this to your functions.php:

    add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' );

function register_my_menu() {
	register_nav_menu( 'primary-menu', __( 'Primary Menu' ) );
}

    And then, you can do something like this in your header_extensions.php file at line 402, 403:

    <?php if ( has_nav_menu('primary-menu') )
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu', 'container_class' => 'menu', 'fallback_cb' => '' ));
 else
    wp_page_menu('sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

    This fixes any problems you might have if you want your theme to have at least one navigation menu, but with the option to have an ordinary page menu as a fallback (without issues).

    @ peterhol & helga Thanks for the input :) I've been running trunk on a couple projects for 6+ months with hardly an issue. I feel it's really solid as well but I wouldn't recommend it's use to anyone in a critical production environment. I have seen the svn bite back before.

    @Bluefinger There's no need to edit Thematic's core when there are filters provided for most every function in there. 0.9.6.3 will provide support the new nav function without breaking support for child themes that are using the old method

    @em hr

    Yeah, I've just moved everything into the functions.php anyway. Just, I tend to look right through the core to try to figure things out, so I end up making tweaks here and there to see the end results.

    WP 3.0 + Thematic 0.9.6.2 + custom child theme and no problems so far :-)

    Another update. Basically, just for custom child theme and no faffing about in the core files. Chuck this into the functions.php file and all should be good:

    add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' );

function register_my_menu() {
register_nav_menu( 'primary-menu', __( 'Primary Menu' ) );
}

function remove_thematic_actions() {
remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
}
add_action('init','remove_thematic_actions');

function thematic_navaccess() { ?>
<div id="access">
<div class="skip-link">
<a href="#content" title="<?php _e('Skip navigation to the content', 'thematic'); ?>">
<?php _e('Skip to content', 'thematic'); ?></a></div>
<?php if ( has_nav_menu('primary-menu') )
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu', 'container_class' => 'menu', 'fallback_cb' => '' ));
else wp_page_menu('sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</div><!-- #access -->
<?php }
add_action('thematic_header', 'thematic_navaccess',9);

    Bluefinger-

    Thanks for the update. When helping in the forums, its best to discourage any editing of the parent framework. Your help & contributions are very welcome :)

    Any news on the release of Thematic 9.7? Should we start developing child themes based on 20/10?

    Hi,

    the Theme Review Team currently has 121 themes in the queue which need to be reviewed. Thematic 0.9.7.3 is on position 44 or so.

    We could definitely need some help. If you are interested to become a member of the team, send an email to chris (at) thematic4you (dot) com, and you'll get a short explanation, where to register.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    @greenandi - the short of it is that w/ the override function you don't need to unhook a default function and then add in your own function.

    so instead of:

    function remove_stuff(){
  remove_action('thematic_hook','thematic_stuff');
}
add_action('init','remove_stuff');

function new_stuff(){
STUFF
}
add_action('thematic_hook','new_stuff');

    you'd just do:

    childtheme_override_stuff(){
   STUFF
}

    basically in places where the override exists, thematic now as an IF statement that says if the override function exists (following the naming convention of childtheme_override_FUNCTION_NAME ) then it will execute that and not the default function and in the absence of the override it will continue to execute the default function as before.

    it is quite brilliant and i love it already.
