Is anyone familiar with jquery lavalamp? Trying to call the lavalamp function, but instead of passing a ul list to it, would like to be able to use a wordpress nav menu. The point is to make a more user friendly theme with the ability to adjust the menu from the wp admin interface for menus, rather than programatically changing the ul list...

$(function() {
	$("#mainMenu ul").lavaLamp({
		fx: "backout",
		speed: 700,
		click: function(event, menuItem) {
	return true;
	}

As a WordPress menu outputs an unordered list, I can't really see where your problem is.

Here is what I've attempted:

<ul class="lavaLamp">
<?php
if (is_home()) {
 $addclass = ' class="current"';
 } else {
 $addclass = '';
 }
echo "<li" . $addclass . "><a href='" . get_option('home') . "' title='Home'><span>Home</span></a></li>";
/*echo listPages();*/
echo wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location'=>'primary-menu')); ?>
</ul>

Seems to work fine using

echo listPages();

, but I want to use the custom nav menu instead of just belching out every page to the menu. The

echo wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location'=>'primary-menu'));

doesn't work, the menu only displays 'Home'.

That's because you're not using wp_nav_menu right.

 

Just call it, don't echo it. Also, strip out the hard-coded "home" link and use a home link in the menu itself.

Thanks, but your suggestions weren't what I was looking for. I was hoping to find, as I stated originally, someone familiar with both WP and jquery lavaLamp. Turns out you have to create a custom walker to strip the li info from the wp_nav_menu in order to pass it off properly to the lavaLamp function.
