Secondary Custom Menu

[bal4 0]

Hi, great template! Im new to wordpress so this may sound more complicated that it is. I got the site almost as I want but having problems working out one thing. I have a number of brands for which I am trying to create full width micro-sites. I downloaded and installed 'Custom Page Menus' by Version 1.0 | By Ray Viljoen. This has allowed me to link one page certain pages to create custom menus per brand. Only problem its a widget and I can only get it to sit in the left or right columns. I watched this .... http://www.pagelines.com/docs/custom-sections and that is where I want my second menu, under the main navigation. How do I get this styled and positioned widget there? Can anyone help me achieve this or maybe even tell me a better way to achieve the micro-sites?

Which theme are you using? I'm also not sure I quite understand what you want.

Hi Adam, sorry I should have mentioned this, its platform pro developer. I have set up the main site that's fine. What I want to do is create full width pages for 30 brands, each of these brands require a different menu. I am completely new to wordpress so my thoughts might be completely wrong but I downloaded 'Custom Page Menus' by Version 1.0 | By Ray Viljoen which has allowed me group pages by selecting other pages to link to which creates a menu. http://www.lengha.com/create/magazine/ the menu you see on the left titled Designer is a custom menu - I used the same pages from my site for now just to speed up the process. Eventually it may be profile | s/s10 collection | etc. Now how do I get this to sit under my main navigation? Like I said I might be completely off and there is a easier way to achieve what I am trying to do. Would appreciate any ideas and thanks for responding Adam.

Hi Bal, If it's an external plugin, then they probably provide a PHP call (or a shortcode). You'll just need to place that in the header, either straight in header.php or with a hook.

Hi Kate, thank you for your reply. Think I am bit out my depth. The plugin I mentioned states...

The menu can be added to any dynamic sidebar using the Custom Page Menus widget or alternatively coded into themes using the custom template tag: cpMenu() $args = array( 'show_date' => , 'date_format' => get_option('date_format'), 'child_of' => 0, 'exclude' => , 'title_li' => __('Pages'), 'echo' => 1, 'authors' => , 'sort_column' => 'menu_order, post_title', 'link_before' => , 'link_after' => , 'walker' => );

I want to place this in the 'brandnav' section. So that if the page has a custom page menu then 'brandnav' shows instead of 'site branding' and 'navigation' and only with custom page menu not the main menu. Stupid question I know but how do I edit the code for brandnav section?

If you're adding something to the brandnav section, you can use a hook (hook implementation is discussed here: http://www.pagelines.com/docs/base-child-theme). A list of hooks can be found in Settings > Template Setup > Site Header > Advanced Setup. Rather than editing the code in the brandnav section directly, you can add a hook (in the functions.php file in PlatformBase, the child theme - NOT PlatformPro) and not worry about losing the changes you've made when you upgrade.
