WP Menu Creator 1.0.6

Hey we updated the FREE WP Menu Creator today and it now features the correct XHTML Strict method for handling opening links in a new window. Since sites will not validate with XHTML Strict using target=”_blank” we have replaced it with new code that provides both validation and the option for opening in a blank browser window. By using the REL attribute in the URL I have added in the option for either “external” which will open as would the target _blank and I’ve added in the “no follow” option as per many requests.

In addition we have taken advantage of some of the core javascript features in WordPress by implementing the ability to change the order of your links with a simple drag and drop feature. In this new version, once you have created your menu items you can easily drag and drop links into the sort order you desire. We applied this same feature to the core modifications for OpenRealty nearly 8 months ago with great success in which our clients can easily drag and drop the sort order of the “Listing Form Elements” to accommodate their layout objectives. Similar to the Open Realty modification, this WP Menu Creator update was added to simplify the process for changing position or sort order of the elements or in this case menu items. I’ll submit the code to OpenRealty in the next day or so as in that version uses JQuery to achieve the effect. There is a simple JS include required for the new functionality which I’ve updated in the readme.txt file and I’ll update the UltimateIDX documentation as well on their site. http://www.ultimateidx.com/menu-creator/

As with all previous versions of WP Menu Creator, this version has gone under more refinements and will work effectively with most “Suckerfish” based cascading menu systems and naturally there is a variant that supports OpenCube Menus as well.
