<p>This plugin provides an API which allows the developer of a site to add custom fields on the default menu editor.</p>
<h4>Example Initialisation</h4>
<pre><code><?php
add_action('init', 'menu_excerpt__add_menu_field');
function menu_excerpt__add_menu_field() {
    if (!is_callable('bh_add_custom_menu_fields'))
        return;

    bh_add_custom_menu_fields(array(
        'excerpt' => array(
            'description' => 'Excerpt',
            'type' => 'textarea',
            )));
}
?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Accessing the fields</h4>
<p>The easiest way to access the field(s) you’ve added is to use something along the lines of:</p>
<pre><code>$menu = 'menuName';
$posts = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu);
foreach ($posts as $p) {
    $myitem = get_post_meta($p->ID, '_menu_item_youritem', true);
    // do with $myitem what you like - it should be a string,
    // so the simplest thing is to "echo" it
}
</code></pre>
<p>you can use menu locations to get the menu name if you prefer – replace the first line above with:</p>
<pre><code>$locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
$menu = $locations['locationName'];
</code></pre>
<p>menu locations are useful if you like to swap your menus about.</p>
<p>Unfortunately these examples don’t allow the use of wordpress’ inbuilt menu walkers. To use those you will need to create a custom walker_nav_menu class and access the custom fields with something along the lines of (very stripped down example will need fleshing out for full walker functionality – there are tutorials on the net for custom nav walkers):</p>
<pre><code>class mywalker extends Walker_Nav_Menu {
    function start_el(&$output, $item, $depth, $args) {
        echo $item->custom_field
    }
}
</code></pre>
<p>The important bit here is that the field is placed on the second variable which behaves like an object. the custom_field part is the name you gave your field with dashes replaced with underscores (to allow the name to be used in an accessor).</p>
<h4>NOTE</h4>
<p>This plugin does nothing by itself. It provides an API only.</p>

<p>Consider this scenario:</p>
<p>a) Your site uses multipage <a href="http://www.gravityforms.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gravity Forms</a>.<br />
b) Your user logs in to the site and starts filling up a 5-step form.<br />
c) During the 3rd step, the user leaves without completely finishing the form.<br />
d) Some days later, the user comes back and logs in to see that his inputs are all gone!</p>
<p>This happens because Gravity Forms by default does not save partially submitted forms.</p>
<p>Our plugin resolves this issue. Simple!</p>
<h4>New Features</h4>
<ol>
<li>Data can be saved automatically every 10 seconds via AJAXs.</li>
<li>Disable persistence on a per field bases. Good for sensitive information you don’t want saved.</li>
<li>Can now persist data for guest users based on a cookie ID.</li>
</ol>
<h4>KNOWN ISSUES</h4>
<ol>
<li>Only 1 persistent form can be on a page.</li>
</ol>


Gravity Forms Data Persistence Add-On Reloaded

This plugin does exactly what it promises, and keeps site visitors from crying.



Handy

We have a very long Gravity Form on our website, and customers often complain that they accidentally click out of it and lose everything. Since GF doesn't have any kind of "are you sure you want to exit?" built in, I installed this plugin. It works fantastically! And whats better is that the settings are even more comprehensive than I thought they'd be for such a small plugin. Thank you author!



Saves a lot of time!

This plugin makes your Gravity Forms data-persistent.
