[theme-reviewers] Clarification: Nav Menus

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

I wouldn't require wp_nav_menu to be there, thats specifically for pages, and doesn't look like a menubar just a widgetted area

  For clarification, see this Theme:


  http://themereview.chipbennett.net/


  The dynamic sidebar is in the footer (actually, sidebar.php doesn't call dynamic_sidebar, but that's a separate issue). The footer has an explicit call to wp_list_pages, but is output as a list, not a menu bar.


  Should I require wp_nav_menu here? I'm thinking *not*, but wanted a second opinion.

    But if no such "menu bar" exists, then the Theme isn't required to use/support wp_nav_menu(), right?

      If they have a menubar looking place at the top half of the site:
      Custom Menu - wp_nav_menu() ( replacing wp_list_pages, wp_list_categories, wp_page_menu, etc. as a menubar system where applicable ) 

      They must use wp_nav_menu()

      If wp_nav_menu() is being used, then the register_nav_menus() OR add_theme_support('menus');  needs to be there

      Basically if they have an existing menubar on their site, wp_nav_menu needs to be used.

        Can someone give me some clarification on how we're currently interpreting the requirement that Themes support Nav Menus? 


        If a given Theme doesn't have a "menu bar", is it not required to define a Nav Menu? i.e. in such case, is the Theme acceptable with just the native support for adding Nav Menus in the Theme's dynamic sidebar?


        Or, are we requiring Themes to support a menu bar, with a pre-defined Nav Menu?


        Thanks in advance,


        Chip
