A menu that's not a menu

Recommended Posts

MrFent

This might be more of a wordpress thing, but I thought I'd ask on here in case someone knew the answer. Is there a way to create a menu that is just HTML code? I really like the jQuery Accordion Menu plugin. I would like to incorporate a dropdown menu that will show the wall of a Facebook page via the following code: With the plugin, I only have the option of selecting an already loaded menu. The website is www.heartlandpartnersincaring.com I would like to make it so if you click on a menu tab, the window will expand and show the facebook news feed. (Click on the grant tab to see it expand) Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks!

There are many ways to create a menu that is just HTML, but with the Facebook News Feed expanding feature, I'm not sure if it's possible to add an iframe code inside a menu item. The feed would have to be placed using something that is not an iframe.

Facebook also lets me use the following non-iframe code:

Would I be able to use this to create a menu?

I would like it to slide out like it does when you click on the Grants tab

Are there any plugins that you know of that would let me make a custom menu item?

Hi Catrina, thanks for helping me out. I'll try to rephrase my question, as I don't think I'm getting across what I'm trying to find out. In the Appearance/Menu section of Wordpress Admin, you can create your custom menus by adding menu items, which are sorted by categories. You can choose Theme Locations, Custom Links, Pages, Categories, Post Tags, Banner Sets, Feature Sets, and Box Sets. All of these menu items contain links to their respective area, and you can drag them over and arrange your menu however you want. I would like to know if there's a plugin or Wordpress custom code that would allow me to add a menu item category that doesn't link to anywhere, but simply shows HTML in that spot, and that I can drag over to my custom menu, arrange, and display it in line with all my other menu items. Take a look at the picture on this link. I've photoshopped in what I'm talking about. I realize this is a Wordpress question, and not a Pagelines question, so I understand if you won't answer it here. I'm also posting this question on the Wordpress website. Thanks! www.heartlandpartnersincaring.com/content/menu-items.jpg

There are some ways I've seen, but they're not called menus. They're called pop-up tool tips, which can be styled to pop up where they should align next to the link item that is being hovered over. An example is here: http://www.kollermedia.at/archive/2008/03/24/easy-css-tooltip/#
