I need some adivce on how to set up my NavWalker for Wordpress. This is my Walker (copied, working so far):
> class CSS_Menu_Walker extends Walker {
var $db_fields = array('parent' => 'menu_item_parent', 'id' => 'db_id');
function start_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args = array()) {
$indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$output .= "
$indent<ul class=nav>
";
}
function end_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args = array()) {
$indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$output .= "$indent</ul>
";
}
function start_el(&$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0) {
global $wp_query;
$indent = ($depth) ? str_repeat("\t", $depth) : '';
$class_names = $value = '';
$classes = empty($item->classes) ? array() : (array) $item->classes;
/* Add active class */
if (in_array('current-menu-item', $classes)) {
$classes[] = 'active';
unset($classes['current-menu-item']);
}
/* Check for children */
$children = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'nav_menu_item', 'nopaging' => true, 'numberposts' => 1, 'meta_key' => '_menu_item_menu_item_parent', 'meta_value' => $item->ID));
if (!empty($children)) {
$classes[] = 'has-sub';
}
$class_names = join(' ', apply_filters('nav_menu_css_class', array_filter($classes), $item, $args));
$class_names = $class_names ? ' class="' . esc_attr($class_names) . '"' : '';
$id = apply_filters('nav_menu_item_id', 'menu-item-'. $item->ID,
$item, $args);
$id = $id ? ' id="' . esc_attr($id) . '"' : '';
$output .= $indent . '<div><li' . $id . $value . $class_names
.'>';
$attributes = ! empty($item->attr_title) ?
' title="' .esc_attr($item->attr_title) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty($item->target) ? '
target="' .esc_attr($item->target ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty($item->xfn) ? ' rel="'
.esc_attr($item->xfn ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty($item->url) ? ' href="' .
esc_attr($item->url ) .'"' : '';
$item_output = $args->before;
$item_output .= '<a'. $attributes .'><span>';
$item_output .= $args->link_before . apply_filters('the_title',
$item->title, $item->ID) . $args->link_after;
$item_output .= '</span></a>';
$item_output .= $args->after;
$output .= apply_filters('walker_nav_menu_start_el', $item_output, $item, $depth, $args);
}
function end_el(&$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array()) {
$output .= "</li></div>
";
}
}
My task now is to create a clickable image before each List-Item which has children. After that click the child-nodes should be expanding beneath the List-Item i clicked the nearby picture.
I've been able to get the image right before every List-Item and Sub-Item with:
> wp_nav_menu array (
'theme_location' => 'primary',
'container_id' => 'cssmenu',
'link_before' => 'some HTML with img',
'walker' => new CSS_Menu_Walker ()
) );
Right now im stuck by identifying the List-Items with child-nodes. And even if i manage to get them identified somehow in my walker, how can i place an image in front of only those with childs?
