Foliopress Embedded Menus Pro

Foliopress Embedded Menus Pro is an advanced  version of our basic embedded page menus. We use it intensively for our internal work at Foliovision.

Foliopress Embedded Menu offers the follow functionality using the following syntax (this syntax is deliberately simple and WYSIWYG editor proof - no hidden comments that clients can delete):

1. a sibling menu (containing only current post and its siblings):

   [menu]

2. a children menu (containing post's children only):

   [menu child]

3. a recursive menu (from post's parent to the bottom of the tree):

   [menu rec]

4. a link to the next page:

   [next]

5. a link to the previous page:

   [previous]

6. a link to both next and previous pages:

   [previous next]

   To add the name of the page’s title instead of << previous | next >> to the previous 3 features just add ‘title’ as following:

   1. [next title]

   2. [previous title]

   3. [previous title next]

   It is also possible to use this features outside the loop by using these functions:

   1. epm_next(‘title’)

   2. epm_previous(‘title’)

   3. epm_previous_next(‘title’)

   where ‘title’ is optional.
7. a collapsing menu of the current page from the root:

   [embed collapsing menu]

8. current page's excerpt:

   [current excerpt]

9. list of current page’s children with their excerpts:
   If a break line is not needed between the title of the page and its excerpt, just add a colon after the excerpt tag, ie.:

   [embed excerpt:]

In versions older than 1.4.3, square brackets replaced by three stars "***" and word ‘embed’ (e.g. ‘[embed (.*?)]’ to ‘***(.*?)***’) is not used.

Foliopress Embedded Menus Pro is only available for sale with a developer license. The license includes unlimited use of Foliopress Embedded Menus Pro on your own sites, but you cannot resell the plugin or use the code for the creation of your own plugin. The cost of a developer's  license is currently $50 Canadian dollars. Please let us know if you need a copy and we will send payment details.

If you need these kinds of menus on a commercial site, this will be the best software purchase you make this year. If you don't need these kinds of menus, then you shouldn't worry about it. This is the kind of serious voodoo that a pro shop needs to use WordPress a solid CMS on client sites with large non-weblog sections.

If you're not sure, download the basic (free) version of the Embedded Page Menus plugin and play with it first.
