Hello, I am looking to add an additional navigation menu that is similar to what can be seen on menshealth.com and popularmechanics.com … it is a little three-bar icon to the left of their header logo, and when clicked, a full menu appears in the left side of browser window.
http://www.menshealth.com/
http://www.popularmechanics.com/
It is almost like the kind of icon you see when a nav menu gets minimized on a mobile device. .. same style. But, in my case, I will make this ‘additional menu’ actually not appear on mobile. I just want that functionality as seen on those other modern sites. Any ideas on how best to implement this? Is there a built-in way to do this with the Newspaper theme? Or perhaps I will need to custom code. Open to suggestions, thanks!!
Maybe here for this I will try the “Top Menu” .. and use CSS and maybe jquery to get the functionality I am looking for. .. thanks for any input
Hi
First you need to register a new menu in theme’s code. This can be achieved by editing td_menu.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/tgr3kM9WCL5 Then you’ll need a new template for your custom menu where will be generated its html structure. The file can be included in /parts/header for example: http://screencast.com/t/NChrbwmx2 Last step would be to call this file where you want to display the new menu. It can be called in header.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/mOD9rmKg – http://screencast.com/t/DpakexXBZ
This was just a basic example about how can be added a new menu but it can be customized in many different ways to achieve the desired result. Note that this is a very complex task which require many customizations in theme’s files and also good coding skills are involved in order to complete it. We can’t offer customization services at the moment so if you still need guidance on this or you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you.
Thanks!
