Flyin Menu Integration

In order to set it up, you first need to assign one of your menus to one of theme predefined menu locations. Navigate to Appereance > Flyin Menu Options > General, and select one of your menus, or create a new one, assign it to menu location and finally Save Changes.



Finally navigate to Appereance > Flyin Menu Options > General, previously assigned menu, or select multiple menus with Ctrl + Click method, and then Save Changes.


With these few steps, menu is ready to be used, and it will be displayed instead of default theme menu.


Clicking on Hamburger menu will open Flyin Menu.


In few steps eabove, you saw a glimpse of Flyin Menu options, and we will cover all of them in following chapter.


Manual Integration

Note: For manual integration, user will need to possess intermediate coding knowledge.

Usage:

<?php flyinmenu_manual($args); ?>

Default arguments:

$args = array(
   'theme_location' => '',
   'menu' => ''
);

Parameters:

'menu'

Required - Pass selected menu to this argument so you can initialize Flyin Menu for it. If you do not pass 'menu' argument, Flyin Menu will call menu which was created first.

'theme_location'

Optional - You can pass the theme location if you want, but it is not mandatory, and Flyin Menu requires only 'menu' argument in order to initialize it for the selected menu.

To find the menu you want to integrate go to Appearence > Menus. Edit existing menu, or create new. When done, copy the Menu Name, and then pass it to the 'menu' argument when calling Flyin Menu.


Then go to theme files (usually header.php) and paste integration function where you want it.

Example:

<?php
  //pass the selected menu to the arguments array (In this example I will be using Header Menu)
  $args = array( 'menu' => 'Header Menu' ); 

  //call Flyin Menu
  flyinmenu_manual($args);
?>

You can access Flyin Menu Options from Appereance > Flyin Menu Options. While there, you will see several tabs on the left and accessing each one will reveal several set of opstions.


Note: For each option which is expecting value, line margin, padding, font size, you just need to type value in. Do not add px at the end unless instructed differently by option description.
