[wp-hackers] creating new menus

Jared:
Menu locations are stored as "theme mods." There is a function to retrieve locations but not to set them although you can create that function yourself:
$locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
function set_nav_menu_locations($locations) {
set_theme_mod('nav_menu_locations' , $locations);
}
Does this help?

>>>>> Hi,
>>>>>
>>>>> I wrote a plugin that allows one blog to pull posts in from another
>>>>> blog via shortcode. I call it get-news. The syntax of the shortcode is
>>>>> something like this:
>>>>>
>>>>> [get-news site_name="news" numberposts="10" show_dates="0"]
>>>>>
>>>>> In short, what this code does is switch to the blog located at /news/
>>>>> and grab the 10 most recent posts and display them on the current
>>>>> blog. There are other options, as well - like pulling posts by
>>>>> category or tags, showing thumbnails, etc.
>>>>>
>>>>> My code uses switch_to_blog to do this. I've read that this function
>>>>> has a heavy performance hit. But, we've been using it with WP Super
>>>>> Cache and it has worked well for us in WPMU 2.9.2. Plus, at this
>>>>> point, my plugin is not meant for distribution -- it's used only on
>>>>> the site I manage. (That could change...)
>>>>>
>>>>> Now, my code is broken in WP3.x. Permalinks are incorrect and
>>>>> thumbnails do not work properly.
>>>>>
>>>>> I believe it's this bug, which is now listed as a "wontfix":
>>>>>
>>>>> http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12040
>>>>>
>>>>> In the bug report, there is mention that this bug could be 'fixed' via
>>>>> a plugin via the switch_blog hook.
>>>>>
>>>>> I'm looking for alternate suggestions for ways to do this. At this
>>>>> point, this bug is holding us back from going with WP3, which we'd
>>>>> like to do for many reasons!
>>>>>
>>>>> One option I toyed with initially was using RSS feeds, but I could not
>>>>> get the thumbnails over that way.
>>>>>
>>>>> Looking forward to any suggestions.
>>>>>
>>>>> Thanks-
>>>>> Bill
