I am trying to add a wrapper to description and sub-menu in wordpress using walker class, Description will only be shown for the first menu so the structure will look like this
EDIT
I have been able to add a wrapper div to description but not to sub-menu and menu description together so I am seeking assistance with adding a wrapper div to menu description and sub-menu(if any)
<ul id="menu-main-menu" class="primary-nav">
<li id="menu-item-41" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-has-children first">
<a href="http://link" class="menu-image-title-after menu-image-not-hovered">Menu 1</a>
<div class='MainMenuWrapper'> <!-- NEW WRAPPER STARTS --->
<ul class="nav_desc"><li class="first"><img src="http://link/arrow.png"></li><li class="last">Menu description Goes here.</li></ul>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li id="menu-item-44" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page first"><a href="http://link" class="menu-image-title-after menu-image-not-hovered"><img width="84" height="46" src="http://link/sub_menu_bg1.png" class="menu-image menu-image-title-after" alt="Image Kitchen">Kitchen</a></li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- NEW WRAPPER ENDS --->
</li>
</ul>
This is the code I am currently using
class Description_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu
{
public function start_el( &$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0 )
{
$classes = empty ( $item->classes ) ? array () : (array) $item->classes;
$class_names = join(
' '
, apply_filters(
'nav_menu_css_class'
, array_filter( $classes ), $item
)
);
! empty ( $class_names )
and $class_names = ' class="'. esc_attr( $class_names ) . '"';
$output .= "<li id='menu-item-$item->ID' $class_names>";
$attributes = '';
! empty( $item->attr_title )
and $attributes .= ' title="' . esc_attr( $item->attr_title ) .'"';
! empty( $item->target )
and $attributes .= ' target="' . esc_attr( $item->target ) .'"';
! empty( $item->xfn )
and $attributes .= ' rel="' . esc_attr( $item->xfn ) .'"';
! empty( $item->url )
and $attributes .= ' href="' . esc_attr( $item->url ) .'"';
// insert description for top level elements only
// you may change this
$description = ( ! empty ( $item->description ) and 0==$depth )
? '<ul class="nav_desc"><li><img src="'.get_bloginfo( 'template_url' ).'/images/arrow.png"></li><li>' . esc_attr( $item->description ) . '</li></ul>' : '';
// $description = ( ! empty ( $item->description ) )
// ? '<span class="nav_desc">' . esc_attr( $item->description ) . '</span>' : '';
$title = apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID );
$item_output = $args->before
. "<a $attributes>"
. $args->link_before
. $title
. '</a> '
. $args->link_after
. $description
. $args->after;
// Since $output is called by reference we don't need to return anything.
$output .= apply_filters(
'walker_nav_menu_start_el'
, $item_output
, $item
, $depth
, $args
);
}
}
