Exposing the default Classipress Ad Dropdown for use
Since everyone is so clever in here I will ask this to the resident geniuses!
In the Classipress header the dropdown navigation that comes standard default under the name "Categories" is created by echo cp_cat_menu_drop_down( get_option('cp_cat_menu_cols'), get_option('cp_cat_menu_sub_num') );
which is, of course, a custom Classipress function in the theme-functions.php
Does anyone know how to write an alternative of this function so that it shows up as a MENU option in the Admin MENU selections?
In other words, when you are in the Menu panel where Custom menus are created it says that the theme "supports" two menus. And to select which menu appears in each location.
The locations are "Primary Navigation" and "Theme Dashboard".
What I want to see right off the bat, from the beginning, before I have created any Custom menus, is simply the "Categories" default menu that Classipress generates.
It should be a default function of Classipress that ITS OWN MENU show up first.
For instance, if I want to create a Custom menu BASED on the Classipress then all I have to do is to click on the name of a menu structure already written into Classipress.
Then it would populate the Custom menu drag-and-drop pane and I could fool around with it and save it under a new Custom name. But it would already show the correct Parent, child, child of relationships instead of having to start dragging forever.
Having to build a Custom Menu from scratch, piece by piece, category by category and child category, in a Classified Ads site is just a little absurd when the entire menu is ready to apply, just hidden and inaccessible.
Also, if this existed, then I could immediately apply the Classipress menu to other navigation menu widgets.
IDEAS, anyone?
