Menu Item Types — Button

This Menu Item Types Add-on adds the possibility of adding buttons in your navigation menus.

<p>Menu Item Types makes it easy to add links to your archive pages, titles, items without URL, paragraphs or images to your navigation menus.<br />
You can also easily override the templates and/or create your own custom elements.</p>
<div class="embed-vimeo" style="text-align: center;"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/659116094" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Create your own item type</h3>
<p>You need to declare your new type in, functions.php, a plugin, child theme, or your custom theme like this :</p>
<pre><code>function register_my_custom_type(){

    $args = array(
        'slug'        => "my-custom-type",
        'label'       => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ),
        'render'      => 'path/to/render/my-custom-render.php',
    );

    mitypes_register_type( $args );
}
add_action( 'mitypes_init', 'register_my_custom_type' );
</code></pre>
<p>You can do more than that on $args.</p>
<pre><code>$args = array(
    'slug'   => "my-custom-type",
    'label'  => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ),
    'render' => 'path/to/my-custom-type-render.php',

    // Link your custom icon
    'icon' => 'https://url-to-icon-file.svg',

    // Return ACF Group field array
    'field-group' => [
        'key'   => 'uniq_key',
        'title' => 'Group Title',
        'fields => [
            ...
        ],
        'location' => [
            [
                [
                    'param' => 'mitypes',
                    'operator' => '==',
                    'value' => 'my-custom-type',
                ],
            ],
        ],

    ],

    // Use callback for customize your item
    // you can add filter on 'mitypes_nav_menu_link_attributes' if you need
    'callback' => function(){ ... }
);
</code></pre>
<p>And finally, you can work in the render with some variables.<br />
You have two variables available:</p>
<pre><code>// $item is the WP_Post of the menu item, with which you can, for example, retrieve custom field data.

$id = get_field( 'acf-slug', $item->ID ) ;


// $args is an object containing the complete configuration of the wp_nav_menu() call,
// including the current menu (WP_Term), classes, IDs, wrappers, depth, walker, menu location, etc.
// More info : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_nav_menu/
</code></pre>
<p>There are already additional plugins.<br />
You can also create your own elements like these plugins do:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-item-types-button/" rel="ugc">Menu Item Types — Button</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-item-types-action/" rel="ugc">Menu Item Types — Action</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Customize the plugin</h3>
<pre><code>// Disable Post Type Archive Metabox
add_filter( 'mitypes_has_post_type_archive_metabox', '__return_false' ) ;

// Disable Buildin Item types
add_filter( 'mitypes_has_buildin_item_types', '__return_false' ) ;

// Mix Buildin and Plugin Item types in the metabox
add_filter( 'mitypes_mix_metabox_item_types', '__return_true' ) ;

// Filter Supported Item types
add_filter( 'mitypes_supported_types', function(){ return ['image']; } );

// Disable Nav Item Icons
add_filter( 'mitypes_nav_menu_items_has_icons', '__return_false' ) ;
</code></pre>
