This plugin has been replaced by Context Manager<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Context Manager does the same job as Menu Rules, but comes with many more features to save you time and unnecessary coding.<\/p>\n\n

Menu Rules can run alongside Context Manager while you migrate your rules across. Speak to me on Twitter<\/a> if you need any help with the transfer.<\/p>\n\n

About Menu Rules<\/h4>\n\n

In WordPress there's no way to apply context to the menu system. Menu Rules solves this problem and gives you a framework to write your own menu extensions.<\/p>\n\n

Example usage<\/h4>\n\n

You have an e-commerce website that has a custom post type called 'products'. You have a page that lists products which is listed in your main menu. A user visits the page and the menu item becomes 'active'. You click through to a product and the menu item loses its active state. This is how to fix it with menu rules:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Install<\/a> the Menu Rules plugin<\/li>\n
  2. Add a menu rule<\/li>\n
  3. Give it a meaningful name in the title field. This is just for administration purposes<\/li>\n
  4. In the conditions field enter is_singular( 'product' )<\/code><\/li>\n
  5. Choose Emulate current page as a child but do not create a menu item.<\/em> as the menu rule<\/li>\n
  6. Find your products page in the menu dropdown<\/li>\n
  7. Hit publish<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Extending Menu Rules<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    1. Create a class that extends Menu_Rules_Handler<\/code> and includes a handler<\/code> method.<\/li>\n
    2. Write your custom functionality<\/li>\n
    3. Register your class using add_action( 'plugins_loaded', create_function( '', 'Menu_Rules::register( \"Your_Menu_Rule_Class\" );' ) );<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Built-in rules are found in menu-rules\/rules\/<\/code><\/p>\n\n

      Support<\/h4>\n\n

      If you're stuck, ask me for help on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Download and unzip the folder from the WordPress plugins repository<\/a><\/li>\n
      2. Upload the menu-rules folder into to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
      3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
      4. Open the 'Appearance' menu item and click the 'Menu Rules' link<\/li>\n
      5. Add a new menu rule and click ok.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
