How to make second navigation menu display on all pages?

[dorin_dumitrascuta 0]

My site is: http://thedollarmill.com I have made a second navigation menu, the one that appears just above the logo (home, site map, feed etc.). What can I do to keep it there when I click a post and get to the post page (it disappears and the main nav is the only menu displaying.) I want it to be on all my pages no matter what. Is there an easy way out, something I missed checking in platform?

Hi Dorin, Unfortunately the only provided functionality is for it to work on post pages. You could create a custom menu and display that...

Thanks Kate, how do I do a custom menu? Is it with hooks? Isn't there a code everybody uses for anchoring a custom menu that I can paste and then build the custom menu through WP?

go to the folder platformbase/sections and create a file called "section.globalnav.php" Paste the following code into that file: <?php /* Section: GlonbalNav Section Author: PageLines Description: Shows a pull quote taken from Version: 1.0.0 Demonstrates how to create a cool site section in 50 lines of code! Note: the only other piece to make this work is the 'pagelines_register_section()' function in your functions.php */ class BaseGlobalNav extends PageLinesSection { function __construct( $registered_settings = array() ) { // BASIC INFO /* The name and ID of the section */ $name = __('GlobalNav Section', 'pagelines'); $id = 'globalnav'; // SETTINGS // Setup description of the section.. $default_settings['description'] = 'Creates a Global nav Section in Base'; // The template areas this section works with.. // Examples areas: 'main', 'content', 'header', 'footer', 'morefoot', sidebar1, array('main', 'content'), etc.... $default_settings['workswith'] = array('header'); // The icon users will see in the admin.. add the full url here $default_settings['icon'] = PL_ADMIN_ICONS . '/map.png'; // OPS /* Draw section using the section API - don't need to touch this*/ $settings = wp_parse_args( $registered_settings, $default_settings ); parent::__construct($name, $id, $settings); } /* Use this function to create the template for the section */ function section_template() { ?>

<?php if(function_exists('wp_nav_menu')){ wp_nav_menu( array('menu_class' => 'main-nav', 'container' => null, 'container_class' => '', 'depth' => 3, 'theme_location'=>'globalnav', 'fallback_cb'=>'nav_fallback') ); } ?>

<?php } function section_persistent (){ register_nav_menus( array( 'globalnav' => __( 'Global Navigation', 'pagelines' ) ) ); } } // Some of the optional functions not used here. function section_options($optionset = null, $location = null) {} /* Adds Options in the admin. Use this function to add them; see PageLines.com for more info */ function section_persistent(){} /* Runs in every page, including in admin (not used in this section) */ function section_head(){} /* Runs in site header, only if section is active (not used here) */ /* End of section class - No closing tag needed */

Next, go into platformbase/functions.php and add the following code: pagelines_register_section('BaseGlobalNav', 'globalnav', null, array('child' => true) );

Now you will see a GlobalNav section that you can assign your 2nd menu to.

Dorin, do you still need assistance with this?
