I am starting to put together a website that will have several levels to its main navigation (similar to the main navigation on play.com) and I want to make sure I'm taking the right approach to the template before I proceed!
I have built custom taxonomies for local areas and business types, that works fine. I also understand custom post types. I now want to insert these taxonomies into some of the navigation sub-menus.
The question:
Is the right approach to use wp_nav_menu with an extension of the Walker class? As I see it I can use the Walker class to cycle through pages as required, but in certain sections deviate and loop through taxonomy items in a sub-branch. Example structure below.
e.g.
Areas (page)
AreaA (area-taxonomy)
AreaAB (area-taxonomy)
AreaB (area-taxonomy)
My City (page)
Businesses (page)
Register your business (page)
Businesses (business taxonomy)
BusinessType1 (business-type taxonomy)
BusinessType2 (business-type taxonomy)
BusinessType3 (business-type taxonomy)
BusinessType4 (business-type taxonomy)
BusinessType5 (business-type taxonomy)
New Businesses (page)
As you can see some of the sub-pages will be the roots of taxonomies. Pages would not feature within a taxonomy sub-tree.
(Side note: This is my first ever question, testament to the excellent API, examples and documentation of WordPress. I could never switch to anything else!)
