Quick note and semi quick announcement about an update being added to the Menu Creator for WordPress. We are going to wigetize it for easier implementation. Lots of people using the Menu Creator love it a great deal but struggle with the inclusion of the menu into their themes. We really wanted to keep the tool flexible for theme development so the PHP tag method served its purpose. Now that people are using more and more top end themes, including those that are commercial, widgets seems to be a logical enhancement for our next release.

What about CSS? I’ve struggled with the idea for a while now regarding this feature request and have really no firm idea as to how to approach the feature. When the Menu Creator was built we knew that we wanted it to simply generate output as clean and XHTML compliant as we could. Clients and end users of the Menu Creator are frequently frustrated with how to move to the next step in styling the menus. Our solution for now is a snippet bank of example code and tutorials yet to be published on UIDX. I think in future releases I’ll add in an option where a small inventory of example menu styles can be selected by a drop down list. It will be a bit lofty to include that feature so I’ll reserve the development priority to the multi lingual features and integration of OpenCube output as the priority for now. Below is a quick little snap-shot of the widget.
