Is this plugin compatible with 2.1 version of Wordpress ?
Manish said this on February 13th, 2007 at 7:13 am
Certainly is Manish.
It was developed around 2.1, to be specific.
I recommend checking back later today, as I’ll be releasing and update for this plugin. It’s been ready for a little bit now, but I’ve kinda been holding back on it to see if there were any more problems with it.
Waiting for the release of update Luke

Few suggestions :
1. Pls work on your Readme file to provide elaborate details. Like how to add menu item, what does Name field indicate and how will it be used. Address field - how to use this, how to provide links to our pages and posts etc. What is description used for and its importance. What is “Relevance” field for etc. and so on.
2. Provide option to add custom classes for ul etc. Like I was actually looking for an option to display links without any bullets. I want different colors and bullets for child links etc.

Manish,
Sorry to keep you on a ledge. Been slammed over the past few days, thanks to stupid microsoft, so I haven’t had a chance to get this updated yet. It’s been a nightmare, and yet another reminder to me (like I needed one) of why there’s not a microsoft product in my office, house, or network, and why all my desktops are Mac, and my network stuff runs Linux or Mac.
Anyway, it uses the standard classes like wp_list_pages would, so to target the menu specifically you could stick it in a div with a special id, then use something like #yourID .page_item, or whatever.
The usage stuff is coming, probably through it’s own subpage in the admin area. I haven’t coded it yet, but it is planned and will cover adding a menu item, and what each thing does.
I’ll get the latest build up as soon as I can, but it might be this weekend before things calm down enough on the business side to be able to get to it.
Ok cool. Will wait for that and hope all gets well at your end.

It hasn’t been bad, just incredibly busy. It’s the first thing on my list for Saturday morning though.
Any chance this would work with the fold pages plugin to fold up sub pages?

Don,
unfortunately my time is rather limited at the moment, but I could probably add in functionality that does the same thing.
I’d have to do it slightly different, since the plugin doesn’t check page slugs, but it isn’t something out of the question in the near future.
@Manish, if you happen to keep dropping by, the above version is stable, and there will be a class option in the next version which should be out by the end of the month.
thx for nice information

My ADD MENU ITEM tab is BLANK, except for the Menu Group and Child Link items on the right.
Help?

Make sure you’ve added a menu group first.
It should have a link directly to the group settings. Once a group exists, there will be a form to add the links.
I have WP 2.2 and have installed the menu-management plugin. I have created a menu group and added some menu items to the group.
However, I am not seeing any widgets to place the menu in the blog. My current theme is widgets-enabled.

I’ll have to look into 2.2 compatibility some more Rich.
It should be fine with the new widget code in the core. The only thing that would stop it is if it is loaded after plugins, which I don’t recall that it is.
The other possibility is a renaming of one of the function hooks, but off the top of my head I can’t say that is the case either.
I’m having the same issue Rich is having, have you had the chance to make any headway in figuring out what has changed?

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance yet Scott.
It’s “on my list”, and I am hoping to get to it before the month is out. My schedule has just been insane over the past couple months.
I’m sure it just has to do with the insertion of the option for number of widgets, and probably a small typo or a change from the 2.1 branch I worked with (and the actual widget plugin) and 2.2 where it’s part of the core.
A temporary fix would be to edit it manually in the options table, which should work as a quick work around.
I am trying to install Menu Manager on an MU site. I put it in the plugins directory, activated it and added a couple links. Works fine on the home page of the site. The code is placed in the header of the default template. However, all the other blogs now have an error message. Does it not work this way on MU? Does each user need to activate t plugin first? Can I wrap it in an if statement to prevent the error message from appearing if it’s not activated? Please help. I need this to work asap. Thanks.

Please read the directions, and think about what you did.
If you’re running MU, this should be well within your grasp.
The problem with the plugin on 2.2 is in menu-management.php where there is a check for widgets that doesn’t succeed and mm-widget.php doesn’t get loaded.
I solved the problem quick’n'dirty by bypassing the check and always executing:
define(’menu-widget’, ‘1′);
include_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/menu-management/mm-widget.php’);
This will break on 2.1 without widget support, but works on 2.2.

Good point, Aske. I keep “forgetting” about 2.2 having widgets as part of the core now, as I don’t really have any standalone WP sites anymore that would make use of widgets.
Looks like I’ll have to dig in and see what happens. There has to be something that could be checked. Might end up just checking the WP version.
Thanks for the heads up though.
