Overview
This is a plugin for WordPress which allows you to display custom navigation menus (for applying different styles and highlighting) for pages.
Features
These are the list of features available in the current version.
- Easy insertion to site, easy as copy and paste.
- Can be inserted to page content or to the template files directly.
- Complete customization from admin panel.
- Supports any number of levels on navigation tree.
- Selection for complete tree listing or collapsing tree listing.
- Specific tree segment to display.
- Two page ordering methods.
- Custom class/id value setting.
- Conforms to XHTML 1.0 Strict / XHTML 1.1
- Compatible to be served as application/xhtml+xml
Requirements
- WordPress 1.5 or above
- JavaScript enabled browser (optional, but recommended)
Installing
- Download the zip archive and extract it.
- Upload the files extracted to the plug-ins directory. (E.g. /wp-content/plugins/)
- Now the plugin should appear under the ‘Plugins’ tab in admin panel.
- Activate the plug-in.
- A new tab named after the plugin name will appear under the ‘Options’ tab in admin panel.
- That’s it.
Configuring
- Go to the ‘navigo’ tab under admin panel’s ‘Options’ tab.
- Change the ‘Settings’ as you prefer. If you can’t understand the settings, please read Settings Explained below.
- Code should be automatically generated in the boxes below, but if JavaScript is disabled, you’ll need to click the ‘Generate Code’ button after you have set the ‘Settings’.
- Then ‘Copy’ the code that you want and ‘Paste’ it where you want the navigation list to appear. Please note that you don’t need to use both, if you are inserting it using admin panel’s ‘Write’/’Edit’ functions, use the ‘Generated Code for Pages’. Otherwise if you want to place it on a template file, use the ‘Generated Code for Templates’.
- Now, when you see the page/post you should see the navigation list.
Settings Explained
WordPress arranges the pages in a hierarchical manner (similar to a tree structure), so some of the ‘Settings’ for this plugin are based on that tree. Following is a sample tree that will be used to explain some settings later in this document.
Note: The values in brackets are their Page numbers.
root (0)

|-- About (1)
|
|-- Services (4)

Now we’ll look at each setting. Please note that each setting is explained assuming that the rest of the settings are set to their default values.
Root page number - This will specify which page number to be treated as the root page number for the navigation list generated by ‘navigo’. The default value is zero, which is the root page of the actual navigation tree.
E.g. If the ‘Root page number’ is set to ‘4’, the list will contain all its child elements, but not the parent Page. The out put will be,

| |-- Technologies (18)
| |-- Portfolio (16)
No of child levels to show (from root) - This will specify how many child levels to show starting from the ‘Root page number’ that was specified in the above setting. The default value zero, will display all child levels.
E.g. If the ‘No of child levels to show’ is set to ‘1’, the list will only contain the first level of child Pages of the tree, but not the root Page. The output will be,
|-- About (1)
|
|-- Services (4)
|
|-- Contact (2)
No of top levels to hide (from root) - This will specify how many child levels to hide from the tree starting from the ‘Root page number’ specified. The default value zero, will not hide any top levels.
E.g. If the ‘No of top levels to hide’ is set to ‘2’, the list will contain all the Pages of child levels excluding the first and second levels. The output will be,
|-- Products (10)
|-- Support (11)
|-- Clients (12)
|-- Style (15)
|-- Technologies (18)
|-- Portfolio (16)
Display collapsing tree - This is a toggle option, when unselected, ‘navigo’ will show all the Page links in the list(subjected to the above settings) which are and are not parent/child Pages of the current Page. When this is selected, ‘navigo’ will only show the parent and child nodes of the current page, leaving out the others.
E.g. If the ‘Display collapsing tree’ is NOT selected, and the Page that is currently displayed is ‘Support’ (Page 11), the output will be,
root (0)

Page order - This will specify in which or to present the Pages in each level. If ‘Alphabetical Order’ is selected, each level will be sorted in the Alphabetical order, and if Page Order is selected, each level will be sorted by the Page order specified for each page.
Level n Class/ID: This specifies a custom Class/ID name for each level specified by ‘n’. The selection of Class or ID to use will be automatic based on the selection of the setting ‘Display collapsing tree’. If it’s selected, IDs will be used, otherwise Classes.
More » / « Less: This will allow you to specify more Class/ID names for deeper navigation trees.

Hi, I’m trying your WP “navigo” plugin with the new WP 2.0. It seems to be compatible with some minor inconsistencies: (1) the plugin has to be in the wp_content/plugins root directory (it must not be in a subdirectory) and (2) the navigo options page is not in the (new) plugin-options tab, but in the global options tab. Will you update your PlugIn to WP 2.0? This would be nice, because it’s one of the best and most useful plugins. - Nevertheless, navigo is fully functional with WP 2.0, so I will use it immediately fo my site. Thank you for this fine piece of code! Greetings, Hermann J. Eckl
hi!
i don’t understand how 2 use this very nice plugin . can anyone show to me how i have to configure this plugin by a videotutorial or something like that pls ?
I have just added a possibility to exclude certain pages, so you can exclude e.g. pages with ID numbers 13, 63 and 89.
I realized it by adding the new option “exclude=”; with that you can exclude one or more pages by ID.
Excluding a page will also exclude all of its sub pages if it has any.
Implementation:
1) Open navigo.php
2) Search for
if (!isset($r['sort_column'])) $r['sort_column'] = '';3) Add after:
if (!isset($r['exclude'])) {
$r['exclude'] = '';
} else {
$r['exclude'] = preg_split('/[\s,]+/',$r['exclude']);
}
4) Search for:
foreach($pages as $page) {
$page_tree[$page->ID]['title'] = $page->post_title;
$page_tree[$page->ID]['name'] = $page->post_name;
$page_tree[$page->post_parent]['children'][] = $page->ID;
}
5) Replace with:
foreach($pages as $page) {
$excludepage = false;
if ( !empty($r['exclude']) ) {
if ( in_array($page->ID, $r['exclude'], true) )
$excludepage = true;
}
if ( $excludepage == false ) {
$page_tree[$page->ID]['title'] = $page->post_title;
$page_tree[$page->ID]['name'] = $page->post_name;
$page_tree[$page->post_parent]['children'][] = $page->ID;
}
}
How to use:
Simply add the exclude parameter to the function, e.g.
navigo('exclude=13,63,89&collapse=true&sort_column=menu_order&level1=menulev1&level2=menulev2');

Hi,
used your plugin,
but get an error :
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/web30/html/wp-content/plugins/navigo.php on line 135
The code pasted in a static page with WordPress 2.0.1
HowTo
This Area contains snippets; My experience in the Oracle Server Performance Forum is that very often questions need not be answered manually again and again. Sometimes a simple link with the right content will help. For example HowTo gather System stats.
Any suggestion?

code in File navigo.php
function _navigo_subs($parent, $page_tree, $r, $parents, $pages, $indexes, $queried_obj, $current_level) {
$content = ‘’;
foreach($page_tree[$parent][’children’] as $page_id) {
// get a reference to the current page for easy access
$cur_page = $page_tree[$page_id];
The code was : navigo:child_of=2, depth=1, collapse=false, sort_column=post_title

Very nice plugin. I’ve searched for days for a similiar function to categories. I only want to see the children-cats when viewing the parent cat. But no wordpress-fenction and no single plugin ist able to achieve this. :-/
With JavaScript the main cats open the children-cats but are no longer working links.
Maybe Your plugin is a little bit suited for my (and many others) purpose.
I’m not sure if this is new to Wordpress 2.0.4, but I was getting the following error when trying to go to the options page: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load_plugin_textdomain() in …”
I found the fix on this page at the German Wordpress site.
1. Move both navigo-options.php and navigo.php to the plugins folder (do not put them in a subfolder).
2. Open navigo.php in a text editor and change line 221 (near the bottom) from add_options_page(’navigo Options’, ‘navigo’, 9, ‘navigo-options.php’); to add_options_page(’navigo Options’, ‘navigo’, 9, ‘/wp-content/plugins/navigo-options.php’);
Hope that helps some that had the same problem. Thanks for the nice plugin, Venushka!
I use the script
but get the warning
Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in xxx/wp-content/plugins/navigo.php on line 135
which is ” foreach($page_tree[$parent][’children’] as $page_id) {”
as posted before. Any hints ?

Hello,
I have implement your plugin in widgets using execphp plugin which allows tu use PHP in a widget window. I have used the navigo option to generate php code. I have put the code generated for template in the execphph widget. It works well but i have lost the indentation, so pages and child pages are at the same indentation level (to see it : www.claude-arnaud.com).
Can someone help me to sort this out ?
Many thanks
Thanks a lot.

How can I also display the frontside of the blog in the navigation-list? It is not considered a “page” and so it is not listed. But I’d really like to have “news” as first item of the navigation.
Is it possible to use “Sidebar Page Switcher” with this plugin?
http://www.hobbingen.de/software/wordpress.php
SPS adds the option to “not show” pages without needing to manually edit the “exclude” info in the file. Instead you can choose it as an option in the admin area.
I’ve modded the very fine plugin. I’ve need to exclude the childs of an ID, but not the ID directly. And I couldn’t exclude each ID, that would be to much work for my glossary. So I’ve modded these lines:
– After this codeblock: –
// For execludes
if (!isset($r[’exclude’]))
$r[’exclude’] = ‘’;
else
$r[’exclude’] = preg_split(’/[\s,]+/’,$r[’exclude’]);
– Add follow Lines: –
// For execludes of a child // 432
if (!isset($r[’exclude_child_of’]))
$r[’exclude_child_of’] = ‘’;
else
$r[’exclude_child_of’] = preg_split(’/[\s,]+/’,$r[’exclude_child_of’]);
– After this codeblock: –
$excludepage = false;
if ( !empty($r[’exclude’]) )
{
if ( in_array($page->ID, $r[’exclude’], true) )
$excludepage = true;
}
– Add follow Lines: –
// Excludes of childs from parents // 432
if ( !empty($r[’exclude_child_of’]) )
{
if ( in_array($page->post_parent, $r[’exclude_child_of’], true) )
$excludepage = true;
}
I think its very usefull. Now it can be used with: exclude_child_of=123
I hope i could help someone.
Best regards
Patrick

Hi, I got a problem with the Navigo plugin:
Submenue doesn’t show up on the start page:
http://www.grenzenlos-ggmbh.de/wordpress/
But if I hit the navi button for that page, everything works fine. Then the command line shows:
http://www.grenzenlos-ggmbh.de/wordpress/?page_id=3
I use Filosofo Home-Page Control to have a static page as homepage and permalinks are set to default.
Strange thing: If I change permalink settings to any other option (numeric for example) the menues are shown, but as I click one of their links, this annoying »Not found« message comes on screen.
Although the link should point to the page id, it actually points to s.th like: http://www.grenzenlos-ggmbh.de/wordpress/start/aktionsangebote/
I also tried another plugin called »Static Front Page« instead of Filosofo, but it didn’t help.
Any idea how to workaround that issue?
PS: I really appreciate navigo as a great piece of code! Thx in advance!

I tried to implement your plugin with the “exclude” feature on a website (since I wanted to have some pages on the “upper” links, like “contacts”, et cetera, and other pages nested in the sidebar), and everything was working fine. I just made a copy of it on another website running WP, and it does not work. It says “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in …./wordpress/wp-content/plugins/navigo.php on line xxx”. The website is www.aliceincitta.org and I checked that line in the code but it does not seem to be relevant… Anyway, why should the exact same file of the plugin work on a website and give problem on another one? Can you give me some advice?
Seems like I found out what was the problem: you can’t exclude *all* the pages: if you do, you get an error message. You have to leave at least one page in the sidebar!…
[…] Gerade wenn man viel Inhalt auf seiner Seite hat stellt man sich oft die Frage ob es nicht möglich wäre in der Wordpress-Navigation immer nur die Unterseiten der jeweils gerade aktiven Hauptseite anzuzeigen.

unfortunately the navigo menu doesn´t work anymore with the latest wordpress version, but i´d really like to keep ist, because it´s better than the standard list pages function of wp.
is it possible to get an update?

Great plugin! Is it any way to make it compatible with multilanguage plugin polyglot: http://fredfred.net/skriker/index.php/polyglot/ ?
When applying CSS styles to the different levels…such as .level1 {color: blue;) all of the levels underneath are effected by it. How can I make my upper levels or parents have different CSS styles then the childs? It would be nice to be able to use the upper levels as headings and the lower ones as list items. But more importantly, I can not change the look of parent without changing its child.
This plug-in seems to be exactly what I need, but I can’t seem to make it work:\ I’ve put this into the sidebar (I hope the code displays correctly):
<?php if(function_exists(’navigo’)) navigo(’collapse=true&sort_column=menu_order’); ?>
… which, if I’ve understood the instructions correctly, should give me this menu on the home page:
» 2006
» Snarveier
» Galleri
… and e.g. this if I click “Snarveier” - “Lenketestside” being a sub-page of that page:
» 2006
» Snarveier
-» Lenketestside
» Galleri
But the menu doesn’t expand at all. When I do manage to make it expand, it expands everything, like this:
» 2006
» Snarveier
-» Lenketestside
- -» Handleliste
» Galleri
-» Bildegalleri
- -» tags
Any ideas as to what might be wrong? You can see it here, in the sidebar under the heading “Menytest navigo”:

[…] Inzwischen setze ich Wordpress für kleinere Sites immer häufiger als CMS ein, aufwändige Navigationskonstrukte sind damit allerdings bisher schwer umzusetzen. Meist arbeite ich dann mit Navigo. Das Plugin erlaubt das Ausschalten bestimmter Navigationsebenen. Damit lässt sich dann z.B. nur die oberste Ebene der Navigation anzeigen oder halt nur die Unterpunkte. Zudem erhalten alle aktiven Haupt- und Unterpunkte eine aktive Klasse, aus der sich per CSS ein ganz brauchbares Navigationssystem bauen lässt. Allerdings nur solange alle Menüpunkte gemeinsam genutzt werden. […]

[…] Business Capital has a nice horizontal menu with drop-downs. Most of them are just (parent) pages with children and then grandchildren. Fine, good, works fine. But either it was a glitch or just too late at night, but when on a sibling page, the drop-downs for that parent no longer dropped down. Hmm. Tried some template tag tricks to no avail.

I have it working on some V2.3 sites, but now that I have upgraded to 2.5 the plugin does not work.
