I have a navigation menu loop that uses a custom walker which outputs:
<ul>
<li id="menu-item-2" class="menu-item-object-category">stuff</li>
<li id="menu-item-3" class="menu-item-object-category">stuff</li>
...
etc
And if a page is in the menu, it outputs:
<li id="menu-item-4" class="menu-item-object-page">stuff</li>
</ul>
Clearly wordpress somewhere detects that the entry in the menu is either a category or a page and assigns the appropriate class. How can I run that same check in my walker?
I simply want to do an
If ($item->object_id = page) { // special code}
I tried is_page(), but realized that that is a boolean function to detect if the current page you are on is a page or not.
Is there any easy way of checking each output in a walker for pages?
This is my walker code:
class Custom_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu
{
function start_el(&$output, $item, $depth, $args) {
global $wp_query;
$indent = ( $depth ) ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : '';
$class_names = $value = '';
$classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes;
$class_names = join( ' ', apply_filters( 'nav_menu_css_class', array_filter( $classes ), $item ) );
$class_names = ' class="' . esc_attr( $class_names ) . '"';
$output .= $indent . '<li id="menu-item-'. $item->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 .'>';
$item_output .= $args->link_before . apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ) . $args->link_after;
$item_output .= '</a>';
$item_output .= $args->after;
$output .= apply_filters( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', $item_output, $item, $depth, $args );
}
}
Thanks
