    Hey

    I’m trying to add a class/id to each item that comes out of wp_list_pages and wp_nav_menu. I got as far as doing a preg_replace on current classes on it and thats fine I can get a class in.

    My problem is that I need the new class to be a variable that gets added to after each item is outputted. So a count++ after each page item. Using a variable is fine but its a count after each one thats causing me hastle.

    Essentially what I’d like to end up with is something along these lines..

    <ul>
<li class="item1">List item</li>
<li class="item2">List item</li>
<li class="item3">List item</li>
<li class="item4">List item</li>
</ul>

    What I’ve got so far in the functions file is

    $idcounter = 0;
function add_markup_cat($output) { // add a class to menu-item
	global $idcounter;
    return preg_replace('/menu-item /', $idcounter, $output, 20);
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu', 'add_markup_cat');

    I’m thinking its something along the lines of a for each but I just can’t figure it out.

    The navigation code I’m using is this that I found online..

    <?php

$parent_id = $post->post_parent;
$parent = get_post($parent_id);
if($parent->post_parent){
$top_level_id = $parent->post_parent;
}else if($post->post_parent){
$top_level_id = $post->post_parent;
}else{
$top_level_id = $post->ID;
}
if($parent->post_parent){
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=19&echo=0");
$my_id = $parent->post_parent;
}else if($post->post_parent){
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=19&echo=0");
$my_id = $post->post_parent;
}else{
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=19&echo=0");
$my_id = $post->post_parent;
}
if ($children) {

$post_id_7 = get_post($my_id);
$title = $post_id_7->ID;

?>

<ul class="twocol">
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>

    If anyone can help at all I’d really really appreciate it! Bangin my head off the wall here!

    Thanks a million for your time

    oh i meant to say i had the count++ in here

    $idcounter = 0;
function add_markup_cat($output) { // add a class to menu-item
	global $idcounter;
    return preg_replace('/menu-item /', $idcounter, $output, 20);
	$idcounter ++;
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu', 'add_markup_cat');

    but it just gives one value back rather than one for each item.

    Any help, greatly appreciated!

    in place of:
    <?php echo $children; ?>

    you could try and use:

    <?php
$kiddy_bits = explode('<li ', $children);
$children = ''; $i = 1;
foreach($kiddy_bits as $bits) :
if($bits) { $children = $children.'<li class="item'.$i.'" '.$bits; $i++; }
endforeach;
echo $children;
?>
